Epub 3 fixed layout – "guide" problem

Hello, where is problem when I am trying to upload fixed-layout book via iTunes Producer and I get error:

"ERROR ITMS-5107: "Fixed-layout books must supply a guide." at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)".

The guide in OPF file is on right place and well formatted.

See:

<guide>

</guide>

In iBookstoreAssetGuide 5.0 is no information about another guide.

Thank for any advice

P. S.: Google didn't find anything 😟

I found the solution. If you can, change the version 3.0 to 2.0. Or create guide in EPUB 3. Classic guide is no longer supported in EPUB 3, so you must create the new one.

In http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-contentdocs.html#sec-xhtml-nav-def see epub:type="bodymatter"

Hi fazeelaabuzohra

EPUB 2:

OPF file:

<guide>

<reference type="text" href="Text/page1.xhtml"/>

</guide>

or EPUB 3:

OPF file:

<manifest>

<item href="nav.xhtml" properties="nav" id="toc" media-type="application/xhtml+xml"/>

nav.xhtml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<html xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<nav epub:type="landmarks">

<ol>

<li>

<a epub:type="bodymatter" href="page1.xhtml">bodymatter</a>

</li>

</ol>

</nav>

</body>

</html>

You must set the version in OPF:

EPUB 3:

<package ... version="3.0" ... >

EPUB 2:

<package ... version="2.0" ... >

I hope you will understand now 🙂
