Is it possible to creat a book cover with spine in pages?

Still learning. Can  a person create a book cover with spine in pages?

You need to make a separate document which would have the back cover, spine and front cover laid out flat.
This is a tricky process in practice as it is difficult for anyone other than the printer to determine the final thickness of the book, and also, in all probability, you will need to allow for bleed off all sides for a cover. This needs to be added into the laid out artwork to allow the excess printing to be trimmed off.
In all cases, the answers to exactly what is required will be supplied by your commercial printer, should you be using one, which I assume you are as you wish to bind your book.

  • Create a Book Cover / Shape in Photoshop?

    I want to create a book cover. I don't want it to be a simple 2D, flat image, though, I'd like to to look like an actual book -- you know, viewed from 3/4, see the front and the spine, the top maybe...
    I found one site that sells a program called "bookcoveromatic" that is a collection of Photoshop actions that can create a book cover, but I'd rather not spend $100... I'm guessing that there is a something else available, or even something built right into Photoshop that I'm not aware of?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Create your flat image.
    Cut it apart. Put the parts on separate layers. Transform each layer to look like it's being viewed from a consistent angle.
    You might achieve this more easily if you look into the Vanishing Point part of Filters. There are some small descriptions of this in Help.

  • I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    Probably a simple question, but I'll ask: I created a book cover in Gimp. How do I import it into iBooks Author?

    It can be in portrait orientation or square, but not landscape.

  • Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

    Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

    > Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
    Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
    Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
    Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
    ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
    ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).

  • Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

    Hi,
    the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
    Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
    Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

  • Is it possible to create a customer master with different address

    Hi Gurus,
    Is it possible to create a customer master with different address as we maintain in SAP CRM.
    Kindly help me onthis issue \
    Regards
    Kannan

    Hi Kannan,
    There are no multiple addresses but you can use multiple unloading ponts for the same address for the ship to Party.
    So when you create a Sales order the system will give a pop up with the unloading points allowing you to select the desired one.
    I hope I understand your query correctly.

  • Is it possible to create an inbound delivery with MB31

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it's possible to create an inbound delivery with transaction MB31. It's a requirement of the client that all goods that come into the warehouse (HU managed) get in with an inbound delivery.
    So, for the scenario of production (non HUM storage Location) to warehouse (HUM storage location) a transfer posting will be done with MB31, A inbound delivery must be created.
    I hope this is possible.
    Regards,
    Alexander

    Hi,
    You can use an STO to transport stock from production to your warehouse and you can use VL31N with reference to your STO to create an inbound delivery document.
    Thanks

  • Possibility to create full responsive websites with new features

    Hi guys!
    I think that Muse would be incredible and very professional if the develop team include the possibility to create full responsive websites, with no more problem even in the height of a site, expecially if you wanna create an horizontal scroll website.
    Another great fature is the Bootstrap 3, that could be used in some layout and templates... Add more widget, like in a CMS and obviously it would be great if you can use very full-responsive icons.
    What do you think about it, guys?

    Fully responsive would be great. 
    I love the new updates from Muse, especially the library, state buttons, and ability to create mega menus....   However, I've been building more of my websites with Wordpress due to the lack of Responsive design.  If Muse adds that capability, along with at least basic additions to the CMS (clients being able to add hyperlinks, link documents, modify H1,2,p text, etc), I'm likelly to go all in.

  • How to create a book (Diplomawork) with InDesign

    Hi all
    I will finish a very important diploma at the end of October. I am wondering how I can create a 'book' with InDesign?
    It should just be like a normal book with Summary, Glossary, and so on. If this is possible with InDesign, how can I do that?
    Will I first need to finish the document with word and then 'just copy paste' or is it possible to write it in InDesign with a dynamic
    summary and all that?
    Thanks for your appreciated feedback,
    Regards
    Fabrice

    Dear DerekC1000
    totally agree with you I know that it is a fantastic application. I'm IT and I know Dreamweaver and Fireworks from the past. Great software. But in oder to deep my knowledge I would like to start with e.g. a good think just like my Deplomawork.
    At the end is must lust like this and I'm sure that InDesign ist just right for that. I'm also sure that for the final printing I must take care of 100drets of things regarding the formatting or the documents. And here my quistions start. At the end it should look just similar to something like that (fotos below).
    Could you guide me a little?
    Cheers

  • I have never used indesign to type in text on the spine of a book for submission as a book cover with the POD company Lightning Source. I would be so grateful if someone could tell me how to do this. This is the first time I have ever used a forum.

    Help! How do I type in text on the spine of a book cover template in indesign?

    1. Determine the spine width first. Note that the spine width is relative to the thickness of the paper used for printing. For example, your book is of 300 pages, the spine thickness varies relative to paper thickness (say, 60gsm paper or 70gsm paper, or thicker art paper varieties). Get in touch with the Printer to give you a bound dummy (blank pages) with as many number of pages as your book has. Measure the spine manually from it. When you are more experienced, you would be able to calculate the thickness just by knowing the paper thickness (multiply by number of pages of the book).
    2. Create a spread to represent the back cover (left) and front cover (right). Increase the width of either the left page or right page, to make it exactly the width of book + spine width. Use guides to separate the spine from the cover design area. Type the spine matter and rotate the frames to fit to the spine. Rotation of frames should be in such a way that when the book is kept on table with its front cover on top, the spine text matters should be erect (not be upside down). On completion the whole design should have the bleed area on all four sides, left page as back cover, spine in the middle with rotated text frames, right page as front cover.
    OR
    3. You can also make the spine a separate page. Create a page exactly of the width of spine. Go to Pages panel fly-out and uncheck "allow document pages to shuffle". Arrange the three pages, the back cover the spine and the front cover in that order side by side in the pages panel (you can drag-drop the pages to make the 3 pages spread). Go to layout to make finishing touches.
