Adding PDF to page in iWeb

I would like to post samples of my magazine writing by posting PDFs of the articles. How do I post PDFs onto my iWeb web site (currently using iWeb '08). Or is there another file format I should use that could achieve the same effect as a PDF would (showing the exact layout, the photos in the article, etc.)?

PDF is fine. To add a PDF natively in iWeb...
• Select the text or object you want to turn into a hyperlink.
• If the Link Inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Link Inspector button.
• In the Link Inspector, select “Enable as a hyperlink,” and then choose this option from the Link To pop-up menu:
• A File: Downloads a file to the visitor’s computer. (The file is part of your website; visitors won’t have access to your computer.)
Note: the hyperlink will only be testable from a browser once you've published your site.
An alternative approach is to use Scribd:
http://www.scribd.com/tools/embed_simple
And the free Posterous blogging platform can also be used to automatically post your PDF to Scribd and embed it into your blog — here's an example:

Adding a "downloads" Page to iWeb?

I'm a middle school teacher who currently has an online website through .Mac homepage. I'm ready to switch everything over to iWeb.
What I really need is a page that allows parents & students to download homework assignments I post on a regular basis. This is covered through my homepage now...but what do I do about it with iWeb?
IF this is not possible, could some Apple guru please tell me how I can use my start page in .Mac to link to my new pages in iWeb?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Well, it's been a week since I started playing with iWeb, and being able to compare it to my up-and-running .Mac homepage.
My site on .Mac was put up as an extension of my classroom. Since most are familiar with (and have probably bookmarked) my original site, I won't get rid of it all together this school year.
I have messed around with iWeb where I finally published a new site, have worked on 'classroom' blogs, and recorded 2 podcasts with GarageBand 3! And yes, I think I'll definately throw a link on the new site to get them to the old site.
F.Y.I. I don't want parents or students to download everything in my public folder, so I will keep the present format I have, where you go in and decide what visitors can see.
I imagine that Apple will eventually discontinue the homepage sites down the road. I also see them coming out with a update to fix any common 'issues' that people have had.... I personally hope they come out with more choices for templates as well.
Hey, it's all good when it comes to Apple and their suite of programs. They still kick some major technological butt over that Windows OS!
Once again, thank you all that replied.

I added a photo page in iweb to my site. I don't want to see the tile of images at the top when I enlarge one image.

I added an additional photo page to my site. When I click on an image to enlarge it, I automatically see the tile of images above. I want to change the tile button to white.

you can hide thumbnails row by:
1) double click on any thumbnail to get to detail view.
2) click on the thumbnail button to hide it

Adding Classified Ads Pages to Iweb

I know that I can't add classified pages directly, but does anybody know any 3rd party websites where I can set up classified ads with my color schemes and logos on the pages and that I can have random people upload, add, and delete their classifieds with out me having to do anything?
Thanks

ok, not sure about the lightroom to iphoto problem.
If you want to use the lightroom galleries it's just a bit more complicated.
As I see it lightroom export the gallery in a folder.
If you look in it you will see an "index.html" file.
you need to put the folder on your idisk.
I would put it in idisk/web/sites/
In iweb make the text block and place the photo(if desired) to be hyperlinked.
Select the text and in the inspector click the link inspector (second icon from the right).
Click "enable as hyperlink" and link to external page.
You could also link the photo if you want to. Same procedure.
Here you can also elect to have it open in an external page, if desired.
Where it asks for the url type the address of the location on the idisk.
http://web.mac.com/your user name/gallery folder name/index.html
Hope that's not too confusing. It's easier than it looks.

Pdf documents not added on web pages

Hi!
I've got problems adding pdf documents in iWeb.
I'm doing it the way I've always done it:
I insert some text (or a picture) and activate a hyperlink (linking it to a pdf document). I then save and upload the web pages via ftp to my webhost.
This has always worked in the past.
However, now, when I visit the website and click the link to the pdf document I just get a 404-message saying the requested file can't be found on the server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
//Oscar

Have you tried publishing you site to a local folder and launching it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the link works in this version of your site?
Doing this will let you know if the problem is in iWeb or with FTP. If the local version works then the problem is with FTP. If not then you need to troubleshoot iWeb.
Its better to use a hyphen instead of a space in a URL.

Adding pages to iWeb

when adding page to iweb, how do i move the name of the new page off of the top of the home page? looking to have it on the bottom of the page.. thanks!

Are you referring to the navbar at the top which are links to each page in the site? If so then you'll have to deactivate (not include) the navbar on each of the pages in the Inspector/Page/Page pane:
Click to view full size
and create your own Text Based Navbar which you can position anywhere. However, there is a drawback to having the navbar at the bottom: if the page is longer than the browser's window a visitor would have to scroll down the page to get to the navbar in order to go to a new page. That's not good web page design.
However, if the pages are long then having a navbar at the top and bottom is wise.

Hi. I've added a new page to my iWeb '08 version 2.0.4 website but can't seem to select the top menu pages to make a rollover color change. I can select them on the original pages. What am I doing wrong?

Adding Background music to welcome page on Iweb.. any ideas? instructions?

looking to add background music to my welcome page on iweb. any easy instructions? thanks daniel malibu

Take a look at my page "source" code for some clues.
Editing published pages is as easy as opening the "raw" html code in TextEdit (preferences set to "plain" text) and applying your edits (copy/paste simple).
But once you edit these pages any changes made by the iWeb application and a new "publish" would remove your hand edited code.
To change what appears in your "Title" would only require you edit that line of code. To add metatags is the same.
The "snippet" part of iWeb 2 is always in the "body" part of the page code. Title and custom icons are part of the "head" tag code. Javascript code could be in even more parts depending on its function.
None of this is for the faint of heart or for those that don't understand the basics of html page code.
Open your published iWeb 2 page with a text editor and edit the "title" tag code to change the displayed "name". To add a custom icon requires you upload a 16X16 image file (the size of the icon in the browser address bar), upload that file to your server and then use that URL in the edited html code for your page. These are part of the "head" tag code.
Hope this helps.

Press ready PDF from Pages (CMYK + Distiller)

Sorry for the odd title but i wanted to get as much information in there as possible. I am in the process of switching printing companies for the support propaganda that i use to promote my artwork. I make one of a kind pieces of furniture.
In the past I have used inDesign to prepare the layout and then I export a PDF as per the printers instructions. I always start in Pages as it is so fluid for me to use. I want to try to avoid inDesign this time and I could use some advice on getting the most out of Pages.
In this case I am working on a tri fold. The text in it is black or grey and the images have a 1 pix black border around them. The printer specifies values for rich black that i understand how to add via the color wheel and the CMYK sliders.
As of now I have added the images from Aperture.
I set up a pdf preset from Adobe Distiller that converts the images to CMYK and resizes them to 300DPI via bicubic sampling. compression is set to Zip. The printer does not want a color profile so none is imbedded.
From Pages I can print to my Adobe Printer and choose those presets.
What do you think?
Would I get better results if i exported my Aperture images as Tiffs and converted them to CMYK in Photoshop (my old inDesign work flow) and then added them to pages?
I am looking to get the best results for the images and simple text that i use. I should mention the the last element that I have is white text over an image. Are there any problems with Pages created text or graphics when sent to a Professional Printing Press?
Many thanks and I would be happy to provide more information if it would help in answering my questions.

Soooo, worked on this with my printer and this is what we came up with. He sampled the different Images (on one doc) and some came in at 230 dpi. some 600. so we have concluded that Pages will do a good job as for keeping the res. You just have to make sure; for example the 230 was a 300 5x7ish then I resized in the Mask to go up width 2 inches and of course lost the res.- so of course i must go back to the source and make my adjustment say in photoshop. WORK FLOW- i have decided to just layout> then go back as needed ( just the enlarged image). CMYK- the printer said DON"T take it out to photoshop to convert to CMYK ( as they can do it easy enough) and you risk sharpness in the font.
So that was a fun day of research!

Publishing single pages in iWeb

If I publish to a folder in iWeb 2, prior to uploading via ftp, it looks like I have to publish the whole site even if I've only updated one page. Is there a way to merely publish to updates page(s) only?
Thanks

It really depends on what you updated and if you know anything about the page and site structure.
Unless you know what assets have been changed in, or added to, the page folder, you should upload this along with the the html file and the feed.xml. Messing with this sort of thing is not advisable and you may end up having to re upload all the files anyway!
A far more sensible way is to use an optimizer app to process the files. After the first pass, it will be able to determine which files have been modified on subsequent updates. Choose one with upload facilities.
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Optimize.html
Of the ones shown on the above page, WebCrusher is probably the easiest to setup while HTML-Optimizer plus is the most economical if you only have one or two sites and want built in FTP.

Adding mobileme gallery content in iWeb with a personal domain

I've been building gorgeous looking pages in iWeb this year which I have attached to a personal domain.
I'm having trouble adding a movie that I have published on my mobileme gallery as widget is telling me there is nothing available. Could this be because I have iWeb pointed towards my own domain even though it's hosted by mobileme?
I'm confused and really want to add this video as something over than through a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

Paul:
If you have a MMe gallery that you want separate from the others but still have viewable in an iWeb site and page set its setting in iPhoto to be hidden from the rest of the gallery:
Click to view full size
Visit the gallery online and copy it's URL address. Add that address to iFrame code in an HTML snippet as I've done in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies (the code is shown on the page). You can set the gallery to disiplay in any of the availablemodes, grid, mosaic, etc., by using the URL for that mode.
The visitor can view the gallery but will not be able to go to your other galleries. Just a way to post a single gallery to your web page.

How long does one page in iWeb go?

Hi,
I currently have a website up on freewebs.com and now I have my own domain name and am working on making a new site with iWeb and just started using it the other day.
When you are working on a page within iWeb lets say the Welcome page, are you limited to one page or can you keep on going within that page so it scrolls down. Let's say my first page is really 5 pages do I just keep adding stuff to that first page and it will automatically scroll when someone opens it in their browser (provided they click the down arrow)?
What I'm really asking is, is their a limit to how long your first page is? I hope this is making sense here.
S.

I don't think that a page in iWeb is limited in it's length. There maybe a limit that apple has placed on it, but it is well past 6000 pixels. You can change how long your page is by opening the inspector and clicking on the second tab from the left. This will open your "page" dialouge. Edit the length of your page by increasing the number in the "content height" field. About the automatic updating of the length in your page; that does happen, but only when you move certain things. iWeb will not lengthen your page when you keep adding more stuff into it. It will increase the length, however, if you litterally move the position of something that is a default item in your selected template. For instance, iWeb will update the length of your page if you move the position of that default text field (wich is in French or somethinng) beyond the current page's "page length" limitation. You can see more clearly the boundaries wich you've set for yourself by changing temporarily the "browser background" color (also in the "page" dialouge in the inspector.
One other tip: (this is not at all related) Personally I don't like the look or configuration of the links in Apple's provided navigation menu. I choose not to display the nav menu and I use my own. It takes more work - you have to worry about style and all of that in addition to coordinating all those links. so let's say you use a tab configuration like i do. I have five tabs, and I have about 40 pages on my website. That means I had to make 200 links just for my custom nav menu. Coordinating them to make sure each one is correctly configured is another thing. I think it's worth it though. - And the copy and paste technology invented 3 billion years ago has been used more and more by me to complete that task! check it out if you like at DesignNashville.com.
got ?'s email at [email protected] and I'll see what I can do for you.

Photo subpages disappearing from album page in iWeb 2009

One of the pages of my website is an album page. Theoretically, an album page should allow multiple photo subpages. Initially my album had two photo subpages. Now, however, I want to add additional subpages.
The problem I'm encountering is that these new subpages keep disappearing. Every time I quit and reopen iWeb, the original two subpages and any subpages created in the last session are present, but any subpages created in earlier sessions have disappeared. The disappeared subpages show up in the column of created pages on the left-hand side of iWeb, but they do not appear in the album page, and all photo content for the subpages has disappeared (although formatting and text boxes are unchanged).
I've tried multiple strategies to get around the disappearing page problem: duplicating existing album subpages, adding a new page within the album, adding a new page outside the album and then dragging it into the album, deleting the iWeb plist file and restarting the computer the page.
Any ideas how to fix this?
