CAN the TOC in iBooks Author be customized?

My book for iBooks is ready to go. The chapter labeling I did is different than what I think iBook Author can handle. I believe it is a built in limitation of the software. I need someone to confirm this, or know of a work around.

What specifically do you need to do?
I believe it depends on the book. I believe If its locked landscape/portrait book, the TOC only includes a sections/chapters. If its a landscape and portrait book, you can add paragraph styles to the TOC, such as Heading 1, Heading 2 etc.

    Use the Print menu to output a PDF if you don't care for iBA's banners, etc.
    You can also screenshot off your iPad, too

  • I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

    I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
    I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
    I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
    I'm stuck, Please help me!

    Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
    If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

  • Image swipe on iBooks without the use of iBooks Author

    Im working on an e-book using calibre and dreamW. It contains lots of pictures. What i want to do is tap on one picture, make it pop at you (make it larger, just like it does when you tap on an image) but then from that be able to swipe to the next image, swipe back and so on. I manage to use JavaScript and make it happen in html, but not in xhtml...
    So i would really like to know before going any further, Is this action possible for iBooks without the use of ibooks Author?? in other words: Does iBooks allow the swiping gesture to see images within the normal swiping of the page
    Any thoughts, ideas? thanks!

    If you're looking to trap the swipe gesture and take some custom action with it, yes, it's easily doable within a hand-coded ePub and iBooks. We do it in our books to suppress the normal page turn response on certain controls. Trap the move event, act on it, and preventdefault.

  • Can I combine different iBooks Author templates?

    Hi there,
    I want to create a book that is, at one and the same time, a book of restaurant reviews that includes replies and responses to these reviews, a recipe book and, I don't know, commentary/philosophizing/flights-of-fancy from the chef (who's something of a character).
    I want to use some of the very slick iBooks Author templates, but the thing is, I don't want to be restricted to just one template, because my book (for better or worse) will be something of amalgam.
    So my question is—can I combine some of these iBooks Author templates?  Any other advice re how best to proceed?
    Thanks very much,
    Malcolm

    Sounds like a plan to me, Malcolm. I have used two image widgets in my simple layout. I have stopped trying to put photos into the text, which are called inline photos. It is much easier to use a image gallery widget which allows for many photos and images to be used. When they are clicked they will expand to the quality of the original image. If you are taking your own photos, they will fill the iPad screen. Each photo can have a very short caption. The other widget I use is called the interactive image widget. It gives you little tags that you can move around to label and explain whatever you want. The interactive widget is for one image only.
    I don't see any problem with you using reviews, quotations, etc. That's just text stuff. Your text flows from screen to screen, so you just insert your image widgets into the text and keep on going.
    Why don't you try a practice template and get the hang of it? The other thing I have gotten used to is that sections have their own rules. You can insert a section where you want. For chapters, the front two pages are special. The left side wants to have a big font title, some white space and a small text block. That text block does NOT connect to the pages which you add next. These pages all have flowing content. On the right page of the chapter opening, it wants to have one large image, filling the page. It doesn't want anything else. These are format issues. What I do is start with text from the material I have and put it in the first page little text box. You can adjust the size of that text box.  Then I continue with the text on the following pages. If you paste it in there, it will automatically add as many pages as are needed. I actually need a three step process as my original text comes from Adobe InDesign on a PC. I copy it into MS Word, and then export it from Word as Rich Text Format (RTF), which is as basic as it gets. RTF has no problem going into iBook. If you are writing directly into Apple Pages it will transfer over to iBook.
    I am writing a history book, and have transferred over the first hundred pages into iBook Author, and am adding many copyright free images from Wikipedia. If you click on an image on Wikipedia, it will take you to the image page called Wikimedia Commons. They often offer the image in different resolutions. On my Apple laptop, I right click and place in the iPhoto library. I LOVE iPhoto Library. Your image comes in and you drag it up to the category you have created. The categories collapse into small bands, which you can open with a click. So it is extremely easy to keep track of your images and put them in as many categories as you like.  Then from iPhoto, you can drag your image into the iBook image widget.
    One thing I would definitely recommend is to attach a second monitor to your laptop. This provides for much more flexibility in working with images and the internet.

  • Can i remove my iBooks Author's account?

    Can I remove my iBooks Author's account?

    No, never ( under current agreements)
    What you can do is open your iTunes Connect account and  go to  price and territory  and de-select all countries. That removes your books from the store.

  • Where can I find free iBooks Author templates?

    Where can I find free iBooks Author templates? I'm trying to create a storybook for kids, is there a listing of such?
    Thanks!

    When I used the link  and clicked on Free there was nothing showing except  the loading  spinner ....which never ended. Reloaded and  tried the Photography link which was OK...
    Just tried today and the site is fully functional dont know if it was my machine or what!
    I did not try anything free, I get wary of new sites being  advertised in targetted forums and such and wanting email address's.
    I make my own template, $20 for one template seems expensive to me there are apps in the store offering templates far less expensive,  as do Jumsoft and I have no connection with them other buying  their set when iBA first came out.
    "Templates for iBooks Author" is a free app offerring 10 templates free! their  next version offers 20 I think for $10
    I think my  next project  should be a website offering templates a $3 each ! So far I have created 150.... 
    Edit:   Anybosy   wanting to learn more about creating or modifying template should  really check out KT's  tips and information on this link given above and repeated here...

  • Can iBooks Author handle custom URL schemes?

    Hi
    I have a native application that displays radiology images. I'd love to have iBooks be able to click on a link that had a custom URL scheme and launch my application. This way you could (for example) have a textbook for different procedures or findings and be able to display the type of study that would result from the procedure.
    When I enter URL with a custom URL scheme iBooks Author prepends a 'http:" to the URL. Is there any way around this?
    I've tried editing an exported iBooks file manually (e.g. in emacs) but the modified ibook doesn't seem to be imported.

    Yes.  I'd love to know the same thing for similar reasons.

  • Can I move an ibook author file from one device to another?

    I have ibook Author on my Macbook and my Mac Mini.  If I start a project on my Macbook, is it possible to transfer the incomplete file to my Mini (where all my pictures and charts are stored) later to complete it?
    ~~ Chikana

    Just like any other file, save your book where you can find it - it will have the suffix .iba
    Move that file, however you like, to your other computer and continue there.

  • Can you work in iBooks Author on more than one computer?

    If we start an iBooks Author project on one (older, slower) MacBook Pro, can we continue working on it on another (newer, faster) MacBook Pro? Is it essentially in the cloud or is there a workaround? Thanks!

    To work on it you would need to transfer the .iba file from one computer to the other.  It is not in the cloud.
