Books vs. PDFs

Is there a good reason why iBooks has lists of "Books" and "PDFs" and doesn't let you see them both at once? I added items to iBooks and spent some time trying to find them until I discovered them in the "PDFs" list. If you click on the category you can select one or the other, but not both.

You can ask Apple to add the feature you want at

Export book to PDF doesn't remember previous settings - CS5

I've just noted a somewhat annoying "bug" in the book export. When I export book to PDF--which I do a lot--I have to rename the file and reselect the type of PDF I'm exporting every time. It should remember the last settings I used.I believe in the past that it did.
I also really hate that it always defaults to the interactive PDF--which I will probably never use. Half the time I forget to check that setting, rename the file, click OK, and then have to cancel and go through all the steps again because I forgot that the stupid thing can't remember that I want a Print PDF. I have gone through this annoying misbehavior several times in just the last few minutes. Add that up over all the hours that I work on books and do that export and we're talking about a huge time waster. Am I missing a way to set a defaullt here?

The book export or the regular export? Mine definitely always goes back to interactive PDF. Even after I've saved a print PDF several times. It's really annoying.

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
thanks

I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
So I'm trying your advice:
I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

Complete Book in PDF is not working for one report

It's strange. All of the other books run fine. If wecreate another copy of this troublesome book, still have the sameproblem. All of the reports in the book can be readindividually. Is there a limitation to the number of reportsin a book to Complete Book in PDF? Thanks

Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.

Combining documents with multiple layouts into a single book for pdf export

I have made a series of documents that feature 3 different layouts, however I would like to connect all these documents into a book and then export 1 layout style from each document into a pdf to form a book. However when I go to the export book as pdf the option to select pages or ranges is greyed out and not clickable for some reason, does anyone know of another way to get around this short of exporting each individual document layout and then merging them as a pdf?

You need to set up the book to contain precisely what you want to export.
However, it is basically better to export single documents and merging them later as PDF, regarding colour spaces, page numbering, paragraph styles, page formats etc.

Exporting a book to pdf - any way to reduce the file size?

Hi,
So I have made a book using iPhoto and would like to send a pdf copy of it to another person who will fill in the texts. I am able to save the book as pdf via the print menu but the resulting file is over 300 mb in size (the book has only 20 pages)! On the one hand i like the fact that iPhoto is not downsampling my photos but it's a bit difficult trying to send a 300+ mb file over email Is there any way to create a pdf with the images compressed so i could send it as an attachment?

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.

At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library. When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks? Thanks....

Hi jybravo70,

Save as PDF or Save Book As (pdf format) Causes Frame 8 to try to quit after creating PDF

I have Framemaker 8p273 and Acrobat distiller 8.1.3.
When trying to creating PDFs from books using either Save as PDF OR Save Books As (PDF) file, the PDF creates FINE but the program then attempts to quit by throwing up weird dialog boxes.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Open any book
2.Use File-->Save as PDF or File-->Save Books As and then choose type PDF
3.PDF created fine - no errors reported in Distiller window
4. Framemaker then throws up a small dialog box that says "cannot quit." You cannot close this box, only click OKAY.
The only other issue that arises might be a "cannot print some graphics - will print as gray boxes"
5. Clicking okay brings up sequence of 5 total of the same boxes (the book file has 7 files in it including the TOC).
6. After last of 5 "cannot quit" boxes, a new Framemaker one appears, that says "Unsaved Changes in file (book name) Save before closing?" Options are Yes, No and Cancel. Yes saves file and quite Frame. No quits Frame. Cancel leaves file open.
I have reproduced this error multiple times with different books, using both the Save as PDF and Save Book As (PDF) commands.
File--Print Book using Acrobat printer works fine (making sure to enable the acrobat setting so bookmarks are properly generated).
Just frustrated that the first two options cause such an annoying error. Reported as a bug.

Jaclyn,
I've seen this happen when an API client attempts to close a document that doesn't exist, which defaults to closing the FrameMaker session, but the session cannot close because it's in the middle of some operation. It's normally the result of sloppy code. Do you have any third-party API plugin software running? For that matter, does anyone know if the "Save as PDF" uses an API client? If so, might be a bug in that software, although it seems that there must be something unique going on here to invoke this behavior in your case.

Export Book to PDF shows bad colours

Hi all,
I have created a book in Aperture, starting from a set of RAW/TIFF pictures.
If I preview/export the book in PDF, it looks VERY BAD in the dark areas (posterized to very few RGB tones).
The problem appears ONLY when I use the "Save as PDF" option from the "Print Book" menu, or I make a preview before placing the order.
What I tested so far:
- If I export from Aperture each single image to PDF (or tiff/jpg), the problem does not occur!
- The images look perfect also if I open them from other apps, like photoshop/iPhoto/preview.
- I created a test book with the images from iPhoto and there the exported PDF book looks fine.
- I installed Aperture on a different computer (a mac mini recently reinstalled), and the problem is still there.
Please consider that:
1. my monitor (iMac 24") is hardware calibrated
2. the source pictures are in RAW (no color profile on them) and (just a couple) in TIFF (16bit, Adobe RGB). I also tried reimporting in the album jpg converted versions, with no better results.
3. OS and Aperture are updated to the latest versions.
I would exclude a problem of the source images (because Aperture/iPhoto can export them properly to PDF)
It looks to me like a problem of the PDF rendering engine when used for exporting Aperture books.
Anyone had ever experienced something similar?
Any advice?
If you want to check with your eyes, I uploaded a few screenshots here:

ps. I've posted this message also on the other Aperture's discussion group, please apologize for the repetition.

It seems the same my problem:

Can I select layers when exporting an Indesign book to PDF ?

Hello,
I've created a book consisting of separate Indesign files, each containing different languages. Each language is in a separate layer.
I then created 4 different book which each contain about 5 files. This makes that I have 4 books with all languages spread over different layers. When I export the book to PDF I would like to be able to select the language layer so I can create a PDF file per language. I can open each file to hide all language layers except the one I want to export, but that is a time consuming work.
I am wandering if there is a quicker way to export to PDF each language without having to open and resave each separate Indesign file.
Thanks for all the feedback.
Tom

Why do you need to omit the French layer for a German book?
Just export with all the layers.
Then, in Acrobat, turn off the French (Italian, Spanish, English?) and leave German exposed.
Save as "Meine tollen deutschen Buchmarkt.pdf".
Then, turn off all the layers except Frenh, and save it as "Mon excellent livre français.pdf"
I promise you that no one outside of a very few people will ever know that there are layers with other languages hidden. Hardly anyone who uses Acrobat knows there are layers at all. (Except the brilliant people on this forum)

ID CS6 crash on book export pdf

ID6 crashes on exporting PDF of a book no matter what preset, get stucked in random places, in different books, but always the same place in the same doc, this happen to me with every book i've tried to export (selecting all the files in the book palette and then "exporting book to PDF")
individual files exported ok.
CS4 version of Indesign can manage the same file and exporting the whole book.
OSX 10.6.8
Mac Pro / 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon / 3GB 1066 MHz DDR3
InDesign CS6 8.0
ps: after 38 views and no clues i start to believe there is no solution

Does the file export correctly with previous version of ID?
A bug is logged for a simlar issue #3229808 . As pointed by Peter, it happens because of shortage in memory allocation for big files.
Divide and conquer should be the current work-around. Identify the the page that is heavy and export in parts.

Books and pdf on IPad don't appear in IBooks on MAC

I've read through several solutions to this similar problem and none of the solutions work for me. I've uploaded several ebooks to my mac and they don't appear on the IPad. I've got content (PDF's) on my ipad that doesn't appear on my mac. For example, I've purchased 14 books that appear in the "cloud" and available for download on the Ipad but the purchases in Itunes show 2. I've updated my ipad, mac, ibook and itunes on both devices.
I've had my mac for 6 months and absolutely HATE it. I thought I'd be able to use it to work with files on the Ipad and that has yet to happen. I was hoping to have access to content across devices and that's not happening. At this point I'm feeling very disappointed in Apple products. I've even been to the Apple store and after 3 support people, they couldn't figure it out either.
I'm hoping someone here will know how to fix this.
thanks

What are the other solutions that you've tried ? As you don't say what you've tried I don't know whether you've done the following or not.
ebooks and/or PDFs that you've added to the iBooks app on your Mac will not show on your iPad unless you sync them to it, only ibooks bought from the iBookstore will potentially show in the cloud in the iBooks app on your iPad for redownloading on it. If not all of your ibook purchases are showing in your Mac's iTunes or iBooks apps (I'm assuming that you have Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac) then try logging out and back into your account on it and see if they then show.
If you are using the 'sync collections' setting in Settings > iBooks on your iPad and in the iBooks app on your Mac then that does not copy books and/or PDFs between devices/computers, all it does is if you put a book/PDF into a collection on, say, your iPad, then if it is also in your Mac's iBooks app then it will be moved into the same collection on that - but if a book or PDF is not already on it then it won't copy it onto it.
If you want the PDFs (and/or epubs) that are in your iPad's iBooks app to also be on your Mac then you need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes, do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your Mac's iTunes, and then in the iBooks app on your Mac do File > Move Books From iTunes to move them into it.
Similarly to get PDFs and/or epubs from your Mac to your iPad, connect the iPad to your Mac, select it in your Mac's iTunes, and use its Books tab to select and sync the books/epubs that you want in its iBooks app.

Hyperion Reporting Studio - data not shown in "Complete book to PDF"

Hello All,
We are using Version 11.1.2 with Planning and Essbase. We have created a book with 2 reports in it. When I run a report in the book to HTML I see data displayed in my statistical accounts but when I run the complete book to PDF the stat accounts are displayed as zeros. I can also retrieve the data using the Excel add-in. There are no error messages when running the book.
Has anyone seen this previously?

How do I convert my book cover pdf and text pdf to grayscale?

1 ) How do I convert my photoshop book cover pdf to CMYK and remove all color and 2) How do I convert my Indesign text pdf file 'to grayscale for all black and whit images'?

Hello Mylenium, thank you for responding. My query has to do with the fact that it is already in pdf mode and it needs to be sent to the book printer. They will only accept the file in grayscale for the text matter file and the colored cover file needs to be in CMYK. I can't seem to correct the issue with everything internally that I've done. I currently have Acrobat XI and the tutorial creation files are in an earlier screen. So, the flow is not the same. I do not see the flow of conversion in the Ac. XI as they show in their creation file demands. Does this make sense?

Need to know how to check text accuracy for CN language PDF's? I knew for EN and EU language, similarly i would like to know for Chinese language books in PDF compare process.

Hi.
This is for Ebook conversion purpose, Currently am doing the text accuracy for English(EN) and Latin(EU) books using Acrobat 11 Pro application with Source and Converted PDF(final output of epub/mobi).
Similarly am trying to find the text accuracy for Chinese language books using PDF compare process, When i attempt, could see the compare report in PDF format for CN books, but i cannot catch the any text errors in it. Please advise and help me out whether i need to go for different version of acrobat or do i need to add any plug-ins with respect to language or chinese fonts here.

Could any one please advise me on my question, so that it will be helpful to purchase the correct application before i go forward.
