Best way to create Math-Book for several devices

Hello,
I have written some Books about Mathematics and past months I rewrote the first one directly in iBooks Author - My original files have been written in WinWord 15 years ago, so there was only plain text, I could copy/paste into iBooks Author. The rest I had to edit completely new in LaTex in iBooks Author. Now I see it was the wrong way because it is pain in the *** to come back from ibook-Format to ePub and other formats to also sell them at Amazon for example.
So I hope to get some Pro-Tips for the best base format for easiest export to all possible formats. Of course ibook has more possibilities, but it would be a way to have a base version as epub, pdf, etc and then import into iBooks Author to make an extended version with videos, etc.
Would pages be the best way to make a base version (as far as I have seen there seems to bee a pay to export to ibooks Author and also to make ePub-version)? Or maybe making an HTML-Version with calibre (I think this is possible in calibre).
Problem is simply that I have so much Mathematic expressions in my books and so I need LaTex for best presentation and design.
Has anyone experience with creating Science Books?
But second problem of course is still to find a way to get an ePub version of my ibooks-file. So far I did not find a way to export the book including LaTex source.
I so much would appreciate some good advices on this...
Thank you so much in advance!
Bye

Hello RoberRM,
I am sorry that I can not give you a convenient solution for our problem. I finally went the same path like with my first book: I mainly target at students with iPads, so I decided to get the best out of iBooks Author to get the full palette of features. I simply did not want to stumble into experiments with uncertain results.
Maybe later on I will go the hard way to copy and paste text and latex part of the books into pages. I will see if it will be worth the efforts...
Besides this the workflow in iBA is simply more effective and time saving. So, at the moment for me everything points into the iBooks Author direction.
Maybe in later versions we will have ways to export into other formats.
Bye and good luck with your work!!

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

Is there any way to create a book for ibookstore in windows pc?

Is there any way to create a book for ibookstore in windows pc?

Yes, you create in the .epub format with whatever Windows app you want to use for that and then use an Aggregator like SmashWords to upload the book to the iBookstore. Direct upload is only possible from OS X.

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple PXI(Real-Time) to GUI PC?

What is the best way to create shared variable for multiple Real time (PXI) to GUI PC? I have 16 Nos of PXI system in network and 1 nos of GUI PC. I want to send command to all the PXI system with using single variable from GUI PC(Like Start Data acquisition, Stop data Acquisition) and I also want data from each PXI system to GUI PC display purpose. Can anybody suggest me best performance system configuration. Where to create variable?(Host PC or at individual PXI system).

Dear Ravens,
I want to control real-time application from host(Command from GUI PC to PXI).Host PC should have access to all 16 sets PXI's variable. During communication failure with PXI, Host will stop data display for particular station.
Ravens Fan wrote:
Either. For the best performance, you need to determine what that means. Is it more important for each PXI machine to have access to the shared variable, or for the host PC to have access to all 16 sets of variables? If you have slowdown or issue with the network communication, what kinds of problems would it cause for each machine?
You want to located the shared variable library on whatever machine is more critical. That is probably each PXI machine, but only you know your application.

You could also have found that answer by searching for "numbers" at the Community Help site. It's really a great resource in addition to the online help files. Try it out!

Best way to create a UI for a Composite app

Hi all,
What is the best way to create a UI for a Composite app that we are developing using CAF and GP.
1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app
3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object (If yes how can we map the input and output params b/n WebDynPro app CO and CAF Application service).
Plz do remember we are using GP here.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Sudheer.

Hi,
You can use Web Dynpro or Visual Composer for designing UI for your CA.
1) WebDynPro Callable Object that implements GP Interface.
You can use Web Dynpro Component CO to use a single Web Dynpro component in your GP Activity.
4) Create a WebDynPro Application Callable Object :This is for entire Web Dynpro Application(multiple components).
2) Consume the Application services(exposed as web services) in WebDynPro app :
3) Creating a WebDynPro Model for the CAF Services.
For example, in updating operations first we have to get the existing data from Database.For getting this data you can use application services in your Web Dynpro component.Later expose this WD component as CO insert in a GP activity.
For creating operations, you can use Web Service CO(Application Service) directly in GP Activity.

Best way to create placeholder frames for XML import

This is my first attempt at importing XML into ID (CS2), my client has given me an Access database that includes about 150 records that include several fields of data, including an image file and a few brief paragraphs of descriptive text.
The goal is to have each record occupy a page in the layout.
My goal is to set up one initial page with a placeholder frame or frames and have ID automatically duplicate for all the records. And that's my question...do I create multiple frames, one for each field in the database, or do I create one frame and just tag various elements within the single frame?
If I create multiple frames, I'm thinking I would have to copy/paste the group onto each new page (or am I wrong?)
If I create one single master frame, then InDesign would just consider all the content one story and automatically create as many threaded frames as are needed--right?
The other consideration is that the field containing the descriptive text will vary in length with each record and I want to make sure that there aren't inconsistent spacing issues happening, as would probably be the case if I created a unique frame for the descriptive text.
I hope I'm being clear...would somebody who's done this type of thing before please advise me on the best way to set up my placeholders?
Thanks so much.

Best way to create special prices for a single BP?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone suggest the best way to do the following?   I have a single BP who will ALWAYS purhcase at 10% above the landed cost (or last purchase price of an item) for any item in SAP B1.   I don't see how I can implement this through Special Prices.   Is there any other way?
Regards
Geoff

Hi Gordon
I did consider this method but it occurred to me that whenever we create a new item (or indeed the last purhcase price of an item changes) then the special price will not change.   We also have a item list of over 50,000 items and I have always found that adding special prices for a business partner for all 50k items increases the sizes of the database considerably.
I am looking for a more dynamic approach that will change as we add new items or last purhcase price changes.
Could this be done through the addition of a new price list perhaps which is based on the last purchase price?   I don't fully understand what the factor does but I presume it will create a new price based on another price list only higher or lower?
Regards
Geoff

What is the best way to create a bookmark for a returning user??

Hello all... hello again Steve...I am back with another question- what is the best way to implement a bookmark system so returning users can pick up where they left off in an AW lesson? I have tried the usual internet searches, always do, but the few samples/answers I have found were AW5, not much help...
I have a dozen or so maps attached to my framework, I would like a user to return to the last map he viewed before closing. (My AW is communicating fine with an Access database, so if passing a variable to Access and then back to AW when the lesson starts is on the right track, let me know...) If the answer here is too complicated, maybe nudge me in the right direction and I will dive back in.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some guidance, I really do appreciate it!
Terry

Try this outline, see if it helps ...
Grab a reference to the Map as you enter it, then save that to the database when you leave.
You want something that will give you the equivalent to a page number - if you have 7 maps hanging off the Framework, and the user is in the 6th map when he exits, you want to save the number 6.
There are scores of ways to do this, but probably the easiest is just to attach a calc to each map that has this code
(I don't have Authorwar handy to check syntax, so you should check!)
BookMarkPage = ChildIDtoNum(IconParent(IconID), IconID) <-- tells Authorware to return the "page number" of the current map
Save BookMarkPage to your Access database on exit .
On return, read the bookmark back into BookMarkPage, ask the user if he wants to return to bookmark. If yes, use a calculated navigation that uses
ChildNumToID(@the name of your Framework or it's ID, BookMarkPage)
Note that you could wrangle something similar by saving the IconID of your Map, or the IconTitle, but both of these can break if you ever update your file by adding or removing pages, renaming them etc. With this method, all you need is a simple page count check that ensures that you are not trying to nav to a page number that does not exist (use IconNumChildren).

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

What is the best way to create illustrator files for frames created in an InDesign layout?

Is there a quick way to do that or do i need to note the size of each frame in InDesgin and then input that into the dialog in illustrator. It seems like a waste of time. Is there a better way?
I am new to InDesgin. What I'd like is a way to automatically generate blank illustrator files to fill in the graphic frames in my layout.
Thanks,
John

I have no existing Illustrator files for the project. I'm tring to use InDesign to create a rapid protoype. I may be working backward from what is expected.
If I could generate blanks that are the correct size that would be an easy way to get started on them, but copying the sizes to the new document dialog box in Illustrator is not a big deal either.
I figured that if i could create an Illustrator blank from InDesign that would get me started in illustrator quickly and also place the new file in the frame.

Best way to create a playlist for sharing? having some issues

So my friends and I like to exchange playlists. So I'm trying to create a compilation that when my friend drags the folder of music into his iTunes the order of songs is how I want it. I want it to import into their iTunes like a regular compilation album.
Issues this time around:
- I can't for the life of me make it so the order of the compilation imports in the right order
- One of the songs REFUSES to change info. I change the name of the album to the comp title and select "part of a compilation" it changes but then as soon I play it it changes back to it's original album title and is no longer part of my compilation
What I've done:
- Picked the tracks I wanted and dragged them into a folder on my desktop
- imported them into a playlist in a different iTunes library
- Selected all, command+I, changed the album to the compilation name, marked it as a compilation, marked it as Disc #1 of 1
- Selected each track separately and marked the Track #1 of 15, 2 of 15 and so on
is there something I should be doing differently for better results?

Thanks, Jason...mostly just for neat and clean.
But, John also said we'd have to create an ADS Group to put them in, and use queries to bring those that need into the collection for installation, then remove them when the product shows in ARP. Which is about the same as adding them into the collection
and then never removing (we'd have a group with computers in it).
I had thought there was some way to automatically remove things from manual collections, but...guess not.

Best way to create a collection for on-deman installs as required, but, that automatically removes clients after the install

SCCM 2007 SP2 R3. We do "on-demand" installs by having collections setup targeted with advertisements for various products, say Adobe Acrobat Pro, and when we get a request, we manually drop the client into the collection and the install
starts in a few minutes.
Problem is...some staff forget to remove the old clients from the collections.
Can a query be setup to automatically remove the client from the collection post-install, when the collection refreshes? Problem we are seeing is that whether we use a query for HAVING or for NOT HAVING the product, it then brings in all the other
computers that don't have the product...
Any way to do this, or, we have to continue to manually remove post-install?
Thanks!

Best way to create unpriviledged user for rsyncing backups?

I'm wanting to use <code>rsync</code> or <code>ssh</code> with RSA authentication in order to automate moving backups for multiple servers to a centralized/dedicated machine. I'd like to know what you guys would recommend as far as creating a user to do that job on each of the servers...they won't ever have to have shell access or anything, but just enough priviledges to run the cron job itself.
I've read around a few places, and one suggested something like this:
groupadd -g 3500 backup
useradd -u 3500 -s /bin/false -d /backup -m -c "backup" -g backup backup
Does the gui/uid number really matter? Is there anything else I'll have to worry about? After that, I just planned on doing a <code>su -m backup</code> and then generating the keys. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for the link...I'll probably just go ahead and mess around with it. It's not too difficult to make changes later.
