Overview

This interface allows you to upload ePub files into the system. The User can upload a single or multiple ePubs at the same time into the ACF system.

Only valid ePubs can be uploaded in the system. Invalid epubs will not be accepted by the system and a rejected response will be thrown by the system. So the system runs well take the trouble to ensure your ePubs are validated before uploading.

The only eBooks formats can be uploaded in the system are ePub2 and ePub3.

The ePub or ePubs are processed one by one and display an upload activity status. Wait until the last line indicates the process has finished.

The ePub is validated using EPUBCheck before being sent for further processing. If it fails ePub validation the upload processor will immediately stop.

The Upload processor will only fail if there are validation errors. If there are warnings, uploading will continue.

The uploaded ePub(s) MUST have a Cover image. If an ePub that doesn't contain a Cover is uploaded, the upload will stop and display a message to the User.
