Links between Portrait and Landscape orientations

I's attempting to create a book with both orientations and I notice that the links I placed for a website and for contact (email) work on Portrait but not in Landscape :S


How can I fix this?

A Preview is just a simple PDF version of what your book should do in terms of functionality. Don't rely on them for anything but a helicopter view of your work as intended.


Instead, use IBA's Share/Export menu, save as an .ibooks file, drag to iTunes, then sync to your target iPad. Be sure to delete old versions of any type first.

Sorry. What I meant to say its that the links I placed for a website and for contact (email) work on Portrait but not in Landscape.


I've tried saving the file as an iBook then drag it to iTunes as you suggested (since I was only checking the book progress on "preview") , but the links are still funtioning only on the portrait format.


(I'm trying to create a book with both orientations in the v2.0 of iBooks Author).


My quiestion is: What else can I do to allow my links to work properly in both orientations?

Hi there! I found the problem!

You know that, in the horizontal format, some section pages have 2 columns of text. Right. Well, on my case the column in which I had my link was on top of the second column (see reference image below). Once I deleted one of the columns the link work perfectly in both orientations 😀
