100 page limit for books

I want to make a book with more than 100 pages. Aperture gives me a warning that I cannot use the online "Buy Book" function - but when I look at the options online it appears that you cannot make a book over 100 pages.
Anyone know whether this is possible? And if so, can I upload my book and purchase some other way? Or how do I get it published?
Thanks to the gurus in advance.

Good luck. Just as a thought: You can layout the entire book with a page count as you desire, then click on the book to start the process by which you order the book. The first thing Aperture will do is ask for your account info, then it will assemble the book. This creates the PDF file to be sent to printing services and can take anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour. After it is finished, a window comes on the screen asking if you would like to purchase the book or proof/preview the book. The option buttons given are to "continue" or to "reveal in finder." If you reveal in finder, it will show the hidden temporary folder in which this book is located. You can copy it and paste it on your desktop if you do not intend to order it through apple. Then, you can use the PDF layout to send the book to another publisher. I am not sure how dual page full spread photos work out, nor do I know how the cover works out with other publishers as they have different Cameo sizes and quantities. But, you can send it to a different publisher nonetheless. I believe the PDF file is created at 300 dpi. I am not sure though.
Next, if you would like to share the PDF's with a client, someone in the family, etc...I read somewhere that you can open Colorsync utility and the select the desktop PDF book file and open it in Colorsync utility and there is some sort of drop down filter menu that allows manipulation of the file including a reduction in file size. Save as another file name so as not write over the original, and you have a reduced copy.
I know little, but I try to remember what I read. These are good tips. This board is full of them and the people who populate these discussions are very knowledgeable. I just try to pass on what I find.

  • TS3750 100 page limit on photo books

    How do we plead and beg Apple to get with the times and be more competitive with other photo book companies. The 100 page (50 sheet) limit is so 5 years ago!!!  For those of us who create large albums like an annual family yearbook, this is not enough!  Many other companies allow you to create photo books now up to 1,000 pages!  The templates in iPhoto have not been updated since I can remember and are simply not keeping up with the digital creativity other companies. This is frustrating.  I hope they listen to our cries for help. Most of us buy and commit to being an Apple user because we love the convenience of keeping everything in one place on our Apple/Mac devises. Having to use other photo book companies defeats this purpose and is a heartbreaking disappointment. Apple please listen!

  • Unnecessary page limit for Blurb book in Lightroom Book module

    I'm posting this per Julieanne Kost's request following an email exchange regarding this topic.  I am in the process of making a photobook using Lightroom and discovered when I reached page 240 that I couldn't add any additional pages, much to my surprise.  I was surprised because I knew from Blurb's website that the limit for standard paper is 440 pages and mistakenly assumed that this limit would also apply within Lightroom.  I did more research online and found many others being surprised by this limitation after spending hours and days on a photo book.  I will likely work around this by exporting from Lightroom to .jpg and uploading to Blurb, but that will take extra time and effort and reduces the appeal of using Lightroom to create a Blurb book.  I had also tried exporting from Lightroom to .pdf only to find that the .pdf format exported by Lightroom is not compatible with the requirements of Blurb.
    My recommendation in the short term would be for Adobe to warn Lightroom Book Module users up front that Lightroom's page limits differ from those if going directly through the Blurb website.
    My recommendation in the longer term would be for the Adobe engineers to make whatever changes are necessary in the Lightroom code to allow for 440 pages when standard paper is selected (and more specifically to make the page limits match the limits of Blurb's actual books).  If there is any way to impress upon Adobe management the importance of this, I believe it would be greatly appreciated by many Lightroom/Blurb users.

    I agree with that (though a 330 page Blurb book would break the bank :-)
    I would also like to see the LR book module allow at least all the same Cover Templates as Booksmart does - I feel really constrained with both of them but much more so with LR...At least let us Drop a Full bleed finished cover on to the front and back covers!
    Lately, I do all the page making in PS, move to LR to manage the page numbering and then export to jpg and ingest to Blurb to make my books...pretty kludgy, isn't it?

  • IPhoto reports "100 page limit reached" but I'm only on page 87

    I understand, for whatever reason, there is a limite of 100 pages in iPhoto's Book feature.
    Fine, I combed through my photos and reduced, reduced, reduced. I've spent a lot of time on it.
    However, now I'm creating pages manually, one at a time, and I just finished page 87. Now, if I try to add a new page, iPhoto claims "This book already contains 100 pages. Additional pages cannot be added until an existing page is removed."
    Now how could I possible have 100 pages, when it only shows 87?
    Seems like a software bug to me -- could it be there is also a # of photos limit in a Book, and the error message is wrong but telling me I have too many photos?

    If you have enough photos added to the book project to get to 100 pages view just the unplaced photos in the photo bin at right and click on the Autoflow button. If that gets you to 100 pages you can rearrange the photos in the last 13 pages if they are not as you'd like.
    If that doesn't work, backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

  • Is there a page limit for a PDF?

    I thought this would have been asked, but nothing came up in the search.
    I'm trying to compile a font book and we have over 10,000 fonts, so if I have a display page per font, that's way many pages.
    thanks!

    Distiller 8 seems to max out at around 1 million pages. I have seen PDFs with more than 1 million pages created by other tools.
    The real limit is file size: 2 GB until a while ago (IIRC until Acrobat 7), close to 10 GB by now (due to the cross reference table not being able to use byte offsets larger than what fits into 10 digits).
    So one may reach a limit not because of maximum number of pages but because of maximum file size (max. byte offset values in xref table). Though I bet you are not even close to a single GB with your font book...

  • Choosing page layouts for books in iPhoto 6

    Hello -
    I am trying to create my first book in iPhoto version 6.0.6. I think I pretty much have a handle on how to do it, except for choosing the page layouts. I am using the picture book theme. When I am on a certain page, if I want to change the page layout, when I click on the "page layout" button, I only have the option of with or without text. I cannot choose to change this page to have one picture or to have three pictures; only to have what is already showing, with or without text.
    Do only newer versions have this option?
    Also, I cannot find anywhere the option of changing the background color from white. I have seen the suggestions about scanning in other images to make backgrounds, but shouldn't there be at least another option besides white?
    thanks

    I am having the same dilemma. Have you found an answer yet? Thanks.

  • Iphoto 11 - page size for book

    Hi,
    I'm using iphoto 11 and i would like to produce a book that will be printed on A4 pages.
    i want to produce a pdf file on an a4 page format.
    how can i do that ?

    I'm not sure that you can.
    iPhoto books come a variety of sizes, none of them A4. Therefore attempting to print onto A4 will result in either cropping or distortion.
    Regards

  • InDesign CS2 - 100 document limit and compatibility with newer versions

    Hello,
    I have Adobe InDesign CS2 and am using it to compile a large report. I have come across a problem once i tried to add more than 100 documents to my book and now see there is a 100 file limit to books in CS2. Each document needs to stay as a single file so i am unable to join files to overcome this problem.
    I have a summary table at the beginning of the document detailing the title of each file in the book. I am unable to work out how to create page hyperlinks in the pdf to the second book (documents over the 100 mark).
    It has since come to fruition that my company has updates to CS3 and CS5 and that these new versions do not have a 100 file limit in creating books. This document i am creating is over 400 pages long so i am wary of upgrading to a new version when i am not far from publishing.
    Should i have any concerns in upgrading to a new version of InDesign when i have almost finished my report? Would it be better to just upgrade to CS3 and not make such a large jump to CS5? Or does anyone know how to create page hyperlinks in my pdf to the files contained in the second book?
    Thanks for any help! Much appreciated.

    Normally I would advise against changing versions in midstream on a project like this, but I'm not sure you have a choice. My instinct is there will be fewer issues moving to CS3 than CS5, but there are far more features in CS5 you might like to use...
    One way to limit the possible anomalies would be to export all the CS2 files to .inx na open those in CS5, rather than converting the .indd files directly, then save as new CS5 .indd files and add to a new book. One very serious issue you may run into wehn moving to a later version is that the text engines are updated and text won't necessarily flow exactly the same, particualry justified text, which can cause line endings to move and some paragraphs may gain or lose a line, which can have a really devastating effect on a long doc if it causes a page count to shift. The killer is that the changes normally don't happen until you start to edit text in that story. I believe the .inx route will force a recompose on opening, but I'm not dead certain, so take a look at http://indesignsecrets.com/force-text-reflow-when-indesign-forgets-to-flow-the-text.php to see how to force the recompose manually as soon as you open the file (you'd only need to do it once, before saving in the new version, for each file), then check carefully for oversets or other problems. Live preflight in CS5 can help with that.
    As you can tell, a successful move to a newer version is likely to be a lot of careful work preparing and checking the files. Some of it can be automated (the export to .inx, the recompose, and the save in the new version) by scripting, but in all honesty you're going to need to check every page when you are done.
    One of the others who uses Hyperlinks will need to weigh in on ID's native abilities and linking to other files in a book. I know that doing that with cross-references (which don't even exist natively prior to CS4) is extremely likely to break down at some point and leave you trying to remake them all, and large numbers of links across docs is likely to slow CS5 in particular to a crawl unless all files (at least the ones to which there are links in the doc you are editing) in the book are open.

  • Customizable layouts for books?

    Is it possible to customize page layouts for books in iPhoto? For example -- it drives me crazy that there are layouts with 4 or 6 photos but none with 5. Or, that all the photos in a 8 page layout have to be exactly the same size and that you can't adjust the sizes of pictures in the layouts. Is it possible to create your own layouts for the iPhoto books? Or at least adjust picture size, etc. in the existing layouts?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, there are no such themes or layouts. What some do is to create a full page layout in a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements that can handle layers and use it on a 1 photo per page layout. However, any frames or special borders won't be easily created.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • 100 page iPhoto book limit - can this be exceeded?

    I have a client who loves iPhoto books, but he needs to print one longer than 100 pages (which is the stated limit on Apple's website).
    Which photo service printing company does the iPhoto books for Apple? I'm wondering if I can contact them directly to get a custom book printed.

    Gunny:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't believe you can exceed the upper limit as it is probably tied into the page binding limit just like the lower limit of 10 pages. You certainly can inquire via this site: http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/.
    Good luck. Post back with the result.

  • I started with 100 pages in my photo book. Then reduced the number to 75 for finished project. When i click on "buy" it says I have some frames with no photos. But I've checked entire book

    I started a book with 100 pages, but reduced it to 75 by deleting some pages. When i completed the book & tried to buy it a box pops up saying I have some frames that need photos. I've checked the book over & over & cannot find any pages like that. How can I order my completed book?

    Look for pages that use photos for the background, even if you have other photos on the page. It'll look something like this in the layout pane:
    It would look like this in the PDF version:
    If you have a 1 photo per page, full page, you could have that option selected and not know it unless you looked at the layout pane like this example:

  • HT4168 I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?

    I have created an 100 page booklet in Pages, with many photographs, and much written word, can I export it to ePub, and make an electronic book, because it says that "Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template"?....
    Basically what I want to do is publish the document into both an eDocument, and a hard copy document. What is the best way to do this?

    No Peter, this statement came right off the Apple ePub statement when outlining how to use ePub. the full context is:

    Pages '09
    ePub is an open ebook standard produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Pages ’09 lets you export your documents in ePub format for reading with iBooks on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    iBooks supports both ePub and PDF file formats, and you can export both from Pages.
    When to use ePub or PDF
    Use ePub when text is the most important part of your document, for example when you create a book, a report, a paper, a thesis, or classroom reading material.

    More details on using PDF
    Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks
    You can export any Pages word processing document to the ePub file format for reading in an ePub reader, such as the iBooks application on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Documents created in page layout templates can’t be exported to the ePub format.
    Documents exported to ePub format will look different than their Pages counterparts. If you want to get the best document fidelity between the Pages and ePub formats, style your Pages document with paragraph styles and other formatting attributes allowed in an ePub file. A sample document is provided on the Apple Support site that features styles and guidelines to help you create a Pages document that’s optimized for export to the ePub file format, which you can use as a template or a guide. To learn more about using paragraph styles in Pages, see the topics under the heading “Working with Styles” in the Pages built-in help.
    To read your ePub document in iBooks on your mobile device, you must transfer the ePub file that you create onto your device.
    To use the “ePub Best Practices” sample documentTo learn more about using the ePub format and get a better feel for how a Pages document might appear as a book in iBooks, it’s a good idea to download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document. After reading the guidelines and instructions within the document, you can use it as a template to create your own document. You can also import the styles from the sample document into a new document you create.
    Download the “ePub Best Practices” sample document at the following web address:
    http://images.apple.com/support/pages/docs/ePub_Best_Practices_EN.zip
    Do either of the following:Use the sample document as a template.Import the paragraph styles from the sample document into a new or existing Pages document.
    Export the document you create to ePub format to see how it looks in iBooks.
    Preparing an existing Pages document for export to ePub format
    Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
    Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word processing template.

  • Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures  the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos. 
    As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems. 
    To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.
