"Create Book from Page" Question

In the Table of Contents Pod, I can right-click on a topic/page and select "Create Book from Page." When I do so, the resulting "book" is not selectable. I have to bring in the page again and place it below the "Book" title. This can't be right! What am I doing wrong, or what should I be doing?

Here's what I found as to how to associate a topic with the book:
You’ll have to create a topic to associate with that book. Here’s one way to do that:
Right click the book icon in the Table of Contents (TOC).
Point to New in the right-click menu. Then, click Page in the sub-menu that displays.
This places that topic in the level under that book. Now you just need to associate that topic with that book (so that when you click on the book, this topic displays).
Right-click the book icon again. This time select Properties in the right-click menu that displays. This displays the TOC Book Properties dialog.
Select the checkbox preceding Book with Link on this dialog. Now, scroll through the Existing Topics list to locate the topic you want to associate with that book. Click that topic in the list. Then, click OK on the dialog.
To see if your topic is now associated with your book:
Right-click the book icon. If options Edit Item and Preview topic display on the right-click menu, you have been successful in associating that topic with that book. By the way, once you have associated a topic with a book, you must right-click the book icon to view or edit that topic from the TOC pod. (Of course, you can always edit it directly using the Topic List or Project manager pods.)
But... (see the second bullet above) After I click "page" I think it wants me to select a page from the list of topics. When I select the proper page and continue through the process, the topic page is still below the Book title and the Book still isn't clickable!
It appears I'm doing something wrong on the association part, but I don't know what!

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.

Creating book from iWeb Blog?

I have been going back and forth with a decision to create my blog using iWeb or blogger or other blog sites. I want to be able to publish my blog in a book format at some point as a way to archive for my kids. I have found blurb.com as a way to create a book with my blog on blogger, wordpress, typepad, etc. but is there a way to create a book from my blog if I use iWeb? Have any of you done this successfully? I don't want to put a lot of time into my blog on iWeb if I can't easily create a book out of it. Any ideas?

I have made many books from my blog pages. I created my own simple solution. I save the page as a PDF to Iphoto. I collect all of the pages, rotate them to their side, and create a wire-bound Apple book. This lets me maintain their 8.5 x 11" size (or similar), so the writing is clear. They just have to be read by paging through them like a tablet, so to speak.
**This solution worked really well with Tiger. I just upgraded to Leopard last night, and can't get them to print to PDF in the proper size for my book (They're too big).
I've posted a question, and am waiting for an answer. If you have Tiger still, this solution above should work though!

Printing hardbound books (like Apple's iPhoto books) from Pages docs

I've printed a few hardbound books of photos from iPhoto and have been pleased with the results, particularly those from iPhoto 6.
Recently, I used Pages to lay out a book of photos, game scores, and some text for my son's baseball team. The original idea was to take the pdf file to the local Kinko's and have it printed and bound with transparent covers and plastic ring thing. But Kinko's proved unable to print my full-bleed pages, and the quality of the prints turned out to be worse than I could do with my Canon iP8600 printer at home!
Faced with the task of printing 20 copies of this 24-page book at home, I'm now wondering...can Pages documents (or pdfs) be printed by Apple's book service? If not directly, can I import the pdf file into iPhoto and print each page as a single full-bleed 'photo' using one of the iPhoto templates? I'd have to redo the layout of the Pages book to fit iPhoto's template dimensions,and that would be a LOT of additional work, so I'd like to know beforehand if it is technically possible to print the book in this manner and if Apple would obect to my doing this.
And if none of the above is possible, is there some printing service out there that would accept a pdf file from Pages and print it as a hardbound book similar to Apple's for a reasonable cost?
Thanks!

No, kinko's does not do hardbound books, at least not here in Japan. All they offer is simple binding of loose pages. Options include plastic spiral-like binding, staples, plastic covers, and basic glue/cloth tape. Papers are whatever you bring in or whatever you print on at the shop. Results are adequate for reports and such,but not for long-term archival purposes or gifts.
As for my own book project, I ended up printing 19 copies on my 8-ink Canon printer using fairly high quality duplex paper. Took several days -- mostly because of the need to buy and install new ink cartridges every few hours (took far more ink than I had expected). The results were far better than could be done on Kinko's printers, but the cheap (not really!!) bindings did not leave a good impression. Moreover, adding the binding cost to the cost of the paper and ink brought the price of each book to over $30 -- more than it would have cost to use Apple's service.
Just after printing and binding these books, I created a 100-page iPhoto book of vacation photos. Book came back in about a week and looked superb. Showed it to the coaches -- the ones who work for printing companies -- and they were quite impressed. Still don't know why they resisted going this route for the baseball book.
Next time, if there IS a next time, I will insist upon using Apple's service.

Creating evite from Pages

Is there a way to create an e-vite from a Pages document so that it shows up when you open your e-mail or does this have to be done in html or another program?

Mari,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Pages can export to PDF which some email browsers will display in the body of the email -- but many won't. I think Pages is probably the wrong program to use to do what you want. Consider iWeb or Freeway to get HTML.

Access to all fonts in font book from Pages

For some reason, when working in Pages, I do not have access to all the enabled fonts in my font book. Can anyone help me change this?

Welcome to the forums!
Can you see the "Collections" column on the left of the Font Panel? If not, drag the lower right corner of the panel to expand it. Once you see the Collections column, make sure that "All Fonts" is selected.

E-Book from Pages document?.

I have recently been asked to prepare a manuscript, written in Pages, for online publication.
Does any one have experience in this area. Especially what format does the book have to be saved in.
Any other suggestions would also be really helpful.
many thanks.

Hi Rob
Welcome to the forum.
At the moment you are pretty well limited to .pdf files with whatever bookmarking and indexing you want to include.
Have a look at this list for software across all platforms. This is about to change radically IMHO.

Apple has promised an iWork suite to go with the iPad but neither the software nor the hardware have surfaced yet. I am very interested in exactly what that entails.

RH 10: TOC hierarchy limited to Books and Pages only?

I am generating WebHelp on Windows 7 Professional and viewing the generated help in IE 9.
In the TOC pod it looks like the TOC has only two levels of hierarchy for topics: Books and pages. There does not appear to be a way to add a topic below a page in the TOC hierarchy (a sub page of a page, in other words).
In the attached sceen shot, a topic is highlighted, and the right pointing arrow is not available.
Surely RH 10 does not restrict the TOC to just two levels.
Please let me know how to move a topic to appear under a page in the TOC.
Thanks.

Sorry but that's the way it works. You get books and pages. The books contain the pages. If you want topics indented below other topics, you will need to make another book. RoboHelp can help you with this. Right click the page and choose "Create Book from Page" and poof!
Cheers... Rick

Deleting templates from Pages.

I want to delete self created templates from Pages.
I go to Application Support/iWorks'09 but all that is there are 'content' and 'frameworks' folders.
I am running on Lion 10.7.2.
Please can someone assist me.
Thanks

For some reason the Apple has hidden the Library you need to go to.
The way to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.

Create book file on basis of txt file with local paths?

I would like to be able to create a book file in FrameMaker 7 or FrameMaker 9 on the basis of a .txt file reading for instance:
c:/documents/job.fm
c:/documents/15ss.fm
c:/documents/sdf/job1.fm
Preferrably I would like to be able to paste the lines into a prompt and have a script compiling the book file.
Is it possible to write a script using FrameMakers API which would do this trick? It is probably possible to use FrameScript but I am not too keen on FrameScript and would rather avoid it.
Who should one ask in order to have such a thing written?
regards
Bjørn

I started using FrameMaker in release 2.x, while I was using x-roff on UNIX; x-roff used a "makefile" to create books from independent chapters, doing all the pagination, numbering, etc. I suspected that FrameMaker's book file worked like that, but it wasn't until many years later that I met someone who'd worked with FrameMaker version 1.x, who confirmed my suspicion.
Although I can't tell you how to do it, I'm certain that it can be programmed as you want, and that someone will post more information.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

File, create PDF, from web page, entire site...questions

I am new to adobe, is this the proper forum for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for macintosh? I think yes...
Created a PDF from: File, create PDF, from web page, entire site.
Is there a way to print this without the background color? If you printed from a browser, you could choose not to print the back ground color. I know exactly the color.
Is there a way to make this PDF look like the web, with no page breakes? I have tried various things, but the page breaks are always displayed.
Is there a way to create bookmarks on somthing other than the title tag in the web site? The title tag is an SEO 1 sentence summary of the page, which makes for very long book mark names.
Thanks for your help.

HT204364 I'm creating a 'book' from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version. However, I have selected a certain book i.e. wire bound, 19 page and when I'm creating it, it indicates 33 pages for one, and 42 pages for another. How can I

I'm creating a book from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version of iPhoto. When I choose a book, i.e. wirebound, 19-20 page book, it shows a 42 page book when I am populating the pictures in the book I've selected. Is that because I have more pictures in the album?
In any case, I can't seem to manipulate/choose the number of pages I want. How can I stick with the 20 page book I want?
Thanks.

You can not select the "number of pages" - you select the photos and the page layours and the number of pages comes form that - with Autoflow iPhoto uses random page layouts so the number of pages is rando=m
You can change layouts to include more photos, move photos to the pages with no empty photos frames and then delete the pages at the end after the photos are used elsewhere

Creating a Book from selected images in Aperture browser creates empty book

I have been a happy user of Aperture 2 for several weeks now but I have been stumped by a problem when I come to layout a book. Help please!
The problem is that any book I create contains no pictures in the aperture browser - so I can't add anything to my empty books. I have tried everything to get images into my book but nothing works. What is odd is that Projects tab I see that the total number of photos I selected at book creation time is given correctly. I just can't see any in the browser.
I have also tried to drag and drop pictures into the book pages and the project folder but nothing happens.
Any help is much appreciated.
Steve

Hi Thomas,
Thanks so much for replying.
In answer to your question - the bottom bar of the browser does not say anything - and yet the Projects tab lists the book and also the number of images that I selected when I made the New -- Book from the pull down menu option.
I also tried to add images to the book's browser by drag and drop from another project or folder to the name of the book project in the project list. It doesn't work for me.
Very odd as I have been happily importing, exporting and publishing web galleries for several weeks now.
FYI, my Aperture library is about 100 Gb in size with 7,700 photos. I run OS X 10.5.3 on my Intel MacBook Pro 17 inch with 6TB of firewire connected disks.
Any help or ideas are very much appreciated.
