Best way to publish epub books

Hi there,
A friend of mine got few books that he published using self efforts using direct contact with a printing house. The books are in PDF format and he wants my help to publish these in Amazon Kindle store and Apple iBooks store. So, I'm willing to invest in tools that would help me to do the job for him.
What's the right tool before buying. I downloaded inDesign trial version but it doesn't seem to be able to read PDF files.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Abdul

Hello again,
I went and checked PDF document properties. The document was created by an application called (3B2 Total Publishing). It's the application that the printing press used to creat the PDF file. Unfortunately I don't have the source document and the printing press claim they don't have any source files but used in-house applicatin to create the PDF book.
I checked fonts used in the PDF file and I found 17 fonts named T1 to T17 and all (Type 3) fonts. I'm seasoned IT engineer but no experience in publishing. So, no idea whether or not this information is usefull to find a way to publish these books in epub.
Cheers,
Abdul

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.

What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?

Please help!
I run a small Mac network and I need to sync all (we have 8 Macs) the Mac's Address Book's with each other and also with 5 different iPhones. We have a Mac Server running Tiger and all the Macs are running Tiger. 4 of the Macs are Intel. The server is PowerPC.
At the moment I am just using 1 .Mac account to sync to them all, but this is causing many problems with duplications, errors and 'stress!'
The reason for the above setup is money. But, as the problems continue and the syncing become more important, money is now allowed to be spent.
My question really is, as the subject header says, 'What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?' In the past I have tried XC Connect, and a few other apps, but with the introduction of the iPhones, the setup has become more complex.
If I were to buy all new Intel Macs and an Intel Mac Server all running Snow Leopard, would the 'Address Book Server' do the job? I have found very little information on the net and the information I did find was all negative.
Is there something Leopard can do that Tiger can't? Is Tiger nolonger a good enough system to try and run an Address Book network?
Does anybody else out there in the Mac world have a similar setup to mine, and if so, how do you have your setup.
Incidentally, ALL users, incuding iPhone users, need read & write access to the Address Book!!
Any solutions or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance

Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
I'd ask over in server...

Or perhaps Collaboration Services...

They may even have a different opinion on SL.

BEST WAY TO PUBLISH TO A CD

Dear all.
Can you please advise me the best way to publish 2 projects to a CD for someone to view?
Thansk in advance.
Tim

Hi there
If you are using Captivate 4, you might experiment with a companion product included with Captivate. It's called the Aggregator. Basically you create an Aggregator project, then add each of the two different Captivate outputs to it. It will then provide a nice menu to use.
If you are using Captivate 3 or older, those shipped with another companion product called MenuBuilder. So if that's the case, I suggest exploring MenuBuilder.
With either product, you begin by clicking File > New/Record/Create and choosing Aggregator Project or MenuBuilder Project.
Cheers... Rick

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!!

Best way to publish Edge files into html page?

Ok,
So im looking for the best way to add my edge files into my html page.
I want to make it easy to integrate edge with dreamweaver html files, e.g if I change anything in my edge project and publish it I dont need to transfer the html over to my page again.
I thought the best way to do this was put all the edge files into there own folder within my sites_files folder and then use iframe. However when I did this, I can not figure out how to use CSS to style the iframe.
this is what I have tried
<iframe id="test" src="mackbyte1_files/animation/power-out-setup/power-out-preview.html" frameborder="0" height="400px" width="940px" scrolling="no" >Your browser does not support this animation. Get a real browses made for the 21st century! We recommend Chrome or Firefox...</iframe>
I have tried using a ID for the iframe which didnt work.
Without the iframe my animation is centred in the screen from the CSS with edge html e.g
.edgeLoad-power-out-preview {
          visibility:hidden;
                    #Stage {
          height: 400px;
          width: 940px;
          margin-left: auto;
          margin-right: auto;
          border-radius: 7px;
          background-color: #CCC;
I have given up and just manully copy/paste the html into the page I want it in. this works fine however, as stated if i make changes to my animation i have to amend the html which is a little annyoying.
Is there a fix?
Thanks in advanced

What is the best way to backup Address Book to external HD?

Hello there
I would like to backup my Address Book on an external HD. How do I go about doing and what's the best way to doing it?
I have a vague idea but not sure if it's the correct folder to drag to the external HD. I went to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. My question is this: Is that Address Book folder the correct one to drag to the external HD? Am I missing other important folders to drag along to the external HD in order for both the Address Book folders to be the same in my internal and external HD?
Thanks in advance!!

It would copy the information into a single file... The same as if you wanted to share your contacts with someone else-you could email the vCard to them, they would import it and have the all the same contact information imported into their address book.
For your own use, it's pretty much the same and works through the File>Import>vCards option in AddressBook.

What's the right/best way to publish from Captivate 7 for use in Presenter 9

Just upgraded to captivate 7 and have presenter 9. We are updating some old training courses created using Presenter with demos created in Captivate. I've gotten as far as upgrading the old .cp files to .cpx files and now am ready to publish the files within Captivate so I can import them into Presenter 9.
When I hit 'publish' in captivate there are options to publish as .swf and/or .html5. So I am trying to fugre out what will work best given what I'm trying to do. In presenter I don't see an option to import HTML5, only video files or .swf files, is that correct? in which case i need to publish as .SWF files? Is that the best way to do it in order to be able to import into Presenter 9?
If that's the case, and I need to have .SWF files, how do I choose which Flash Player version I want to use when I publish the files in Captivate? It's got the drop down box containing Flash 10, 10.2 and 11. My instinct would be to use the newest (flash 11). Is that correct? If not, why would I want to use a lower Flash version?
thank you!

Hi,
You can publish to either as .mp4 (Go to publish >Media >Mp4 ) or .swf from Captivate 7. In presenter 9 you do have an option to either import .swf or .mp4 files. See the image below to import these two formats in presenter:

If the app store is not available then no one can recommend an app to read PDFs except as email attachments.

What is the best way to resize a book?

I have InDesign CC and I am designing a culture book for my company. It’s about 100 pages and full of pictures, shapes, and text.
The book is almost completed, but I just got word today that we are changing the size. The original size was 7x9 and the new size is 6x9. This throws off the whole layout.
What is the best/ fastest way to scale down the book? Because all I know right now is manually re-laying out each page.
I also have acrobat XI pro, just in case I can use this software to help in the resizing process.
Thanks.

@fcgpublishing – the "easiest" way would be to scale the contents only in x-axis to fit the new size.
You can do it on the InDesign pages with all objects selected.
You can do it with exported PDF pages placed into a new InDesign file and scale these.
But this would do harm to your aestetic preferences…
Sigh. No easy question. There is no magic way to do it without losing something on its way. Time and effort is needed to refine the process and the results. Whatever you like to chose: Alternate Layout, Layout Adjustment, writing a script…
"Best" and "fastest" are not compatible here.
Define "best" and you'll see it's not "fastest".

Best way to publish multiple sites without a .mac account?

Hi, all you mac geniuses out there!
So, I have a mac and a .mac membership and iweb. I use and love all of them. I also have a business in which I am about to incorporate the service of designing websites for various individuals. I would love to be able to use iweb for this. However, I can't put it all on my .mac account. So, my questions are the following:
1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac account so they have their own idisk even though they won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere, publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate hosting space (like through godaddy or somewhere)? And if that's the case, what is the best (and easiest) place to host a site and how exactly does one go about uploading the site once it's published to a folder? Will it still look like the iweb layout?
3. Any better suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa

1. Do I charge people extra and buy them a .mac
account so they have their own idisk even though they
won't need the e-mail and other .mac features?
I don't think this would be necessary...
2. Can I create a website for them on iweb, buy a
domain name for them through godaddy or somewhere,
publish to a folder, and then upload to a separate
hosting space...
Yes. The best thing for you to do would be to get familiar with a program called "iWebSites" ( http://mistergregg.com/cocoadrillosoftware/ ). I'm sure you don't want your personal .Mac website to be mixed in with your client websites. In addition, you will appreciate the ability to be able to publish your various websites INDEPENDENTLY of one another, so that you only publish your personal site to your .Mac account and your client sites individually as needed. iWebSites helps you to create separate Domain files for iWeb so that each website can "live" in its own space and be edited and published separate from every other site.
But yes, as far as your client websites go, prepare for a new site with iWebSites, design the site in iWeb, then "Publish to Folder" and then register and upload to the appropriate domain name server directory. I think this would be a slick way to run your business....full service, right?
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best way to publish a collection to multiple publish services

Hi
I post a collection of images to Facebook, SmugMug and to a Hard Drive folder for syncing with my iPhone.
Currently I add all the photos I want to a regular collection. Once complete I select all and drag to each of the three Publish Services Collections and hit publish on all three. I've considered making the three Publish Services Collections Smart and telling them to include from the Collection that includes the name of my collection (really it would be helpful if there was a drop down list, but I digress).
Is there a better way of doing this? What is everybody else doing?
cheers, Lewis

I use export instead of publish.
Granted, I'm not using the web photo services that don't support change detection without the publishing (or are there export plugins that do support change detection and removal of obsolete photos - true sync stuff like publishing except via export?).
TreeSync - for hard drive export-based "publishing".
WebPhotos - for exporting photos for web consumption.
ExportManager - for one-click exporting of all changed photos to all endpoint destinations.
I have requested a feature, as have other publish plugin developers, for a hook so that publishing can be started programmatically (via plugins). If this feature is added to the Plugin SDK, then export-manager will be upgraded and renamed export+publish-manager...
