Custom book formats

One reason that I upgraded from A2 to A3 was because I use custom page sizes in order to send my books to Blurb and on more than one occasion A2 decided that I could no longer have a black background...or any other color for that matter and I had to start the entire book over in order to have it as I wanted.
I downloaded the trial version of A3, successfully transferred another book that I was working on into the new version and decided that I liked it very much. The book was working well...no problems.
When my trial was over, I bought the full version of A3 and installed it, but I just realised that ALL my books which were done with custom paper size APPEAR ok, but if I try to save them as pdf, part of the page is cut off !!! I then saw that the "Theme" no longer appears as "Custom" so I guess it creates the pdf page in a default paper size.
If I change the "Theme", I lose my custom formatting. Is there anyway to save a pdf of the page "as it appears" in Aperture?
Help???!!!!
Thank you.

well aesthetics for one and ease of reading them off.
Why does it matter to have any Apple product over competitors. because everything hardware & software just looks better - so why stop at numbers
2. Most world travellers will tell you we carry 2 or sometimes 3 phones around.
When we get into another city, we have 1 phone with all our numbers on it (i.e. the iphone) and then some crappy flip phone where we get a temporary sim from the airport to use for our stay. so we need to be able to read the numbers off easily. (that helps save on ridiculous roaming charges). Sometimes a third phone for business clients & work (if you have your employer fronting your cell phone bill, you cant mix personal with it)

Unable to "Buy Book" after Creating a Custom Book

I just created a custom book with the required minimum number of pages, but the option to "Buy the Book" is not available to me. Is there something else I need to do? I'm pretty new to Aperture. Any help would be appreciated!

I find the custom book feature very very useful in Aperture. To date I have always had books created through a local printer (their quality and binding format is excellent). I build the book in Aperture (custom as I prefer A4 portrait), use the PDF output option and then give the printers the PDFs which they then print to create the book.
I have thought about trying the Apple service but an unsure of the "suede-like" cover and prefer hard back. Might try the soft covers. But anyway, other book printers are happy to take the PDF output (e.g. my local printers, Blurb and probably others).

How do I get custom book themes to appear in Aperture?

I want to create two custom book themes in Aperture - A4 Landscape and A4 Portrait - so that I can print them on A4 photo paper. However, after creating the custom themes, they do not appear in the custom theme list which is preventing me from creating an A4 sized book. I closed and restarted Aperture and I have also closed and restarted my MacBook.
My Aperture version is 3.5.1 and I am running Mac OS X 10.9.1.
Folders for the two custom themes I have created do appear in Users/MacPro/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes.

Schof,
I will try your suggestion of creating a new Aperture library and let you know what happens.
If a new library does not fix it, there is probably a permissions problem with your user library, or a problem with the "Books Theme" folder.
I'd try to trash the "Books Theme" folder:
Quit Aperture.
Delete your "Users/MacPro/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes".
Log off and on again.
Create a new Custom Book.
Can you now see it in the "Themes" drop-down menu?
If that does not help, trash the preferences as well:
Users/MacPro/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
and log off and on again, or restart the system.

Not able to save date column with custom date format. in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I have migrated one report from OBIEE 10g to 11g. There is a date column with customized date format(i.e. Default format is 'dd-MMM-yyyy' and I have used 'MMM-yyyy').
But when I use this custom format and try to save the report in 11g its giving this below error.
''Catalog object privilege validation failed for user to path /shared/ALM BI/Finacial Results/History Income Statement Detail.
You do not currently have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML markup.
This HTML might be present in column headings, table headings, text views, narrative views, the print header,
or the print footer and must be removed before saving.''
Please let me know what changes I need to do for this.

"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

How do I delete custom book themes

How do I delete unwanted custom book themes?
I am still finding my way around Aperture and have made a couple of errors when creating book themes. I now want to delete those unwanted themes. I have looked in the Aperture Help and the Aperture User Guide, but I cannot find anyway to delete unwanted book themes.
Some clue as to where to look would be a great help.
I am operating a Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.9.1. Maverick.

The custom themes get installed in your user library in the folder:
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes/
Your User Library may still be hidden - the default sinceMacOS X Lion.
Quit Aperture and open it from your "Home" folder:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the view options. Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes/
Remove your own themes and shut down and restart your system.

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

Custom book export resolution problem in PDF - only 150DPI!?

I've been using the custom book option and when it came to exporting my PDF I have run into a problem involving the undocumented output resolution of a PDF at a given size. The custom book dialog allows you to create a book with a certain size in inches, but this really has no real meaning since the resolution of that output cannot also be specified in either the layout option or the print dialog. For example is it 150dpi or 300dpi? From some investigation it appears to be locked at 150DPI.
Now I would have thought that Aperture was intelligent enough to just treat the album layout (this is my assumption) as some kind of smart object, where the layout is resolution independent and the final output resolution can be determined when printing to a printer or PDF. In that case the dialog for the setup of the custom size is correct. However, there is no option that I can see in the print dialog to actually specify the output resolution; Aperture is left to its own devices to specify an output resolution, which is undocumented.
I use a printer that accepts JPG or TIF files and I need 300dpi for an album size of 10x13 inches. This equates to 3900x3000 pixels per page. I am able to export to PDF in the print dialog and then used an automator action to export each page of the PDF as JPG and reimported back into Aperture 2 in the same action. In the PDF>JPG conversion option there is the ability to set the DPI to 300. That works fine and the resulting JPG images show as 300dpi (3900x3000px). When looking at the images though they look a little soft, which leads me to believe that my action was simply interpolating a 150dpi image in the PDF into 300dpi.
So to test this, I noticed that if I exported just one page of the album as a PDF and opened the PDF in Preview it does indeed tell you that it is 13x10 inches (no mention of the pixel resolution though). So, you can actually reimport a single page PDF into Aperture and if you do this it appears that the actual resolution is 1950x1500 and that equates to 150dpi for a 13x10 inch layout.
So there are two things that could possibly be going on here:
1. The actual layout of the album is locked at 150DPI and the save to PDF simply takes that and exports a PDF at that resolution.
2. The layout of the album is resolution independent, the size of the album (in the custom dialog) simply controls the aspect of the page layout, and the print dialog (save to PDF) is exporting as 150DPI as default. When I run my automator action (these are the Leopard PDF actions), the save each page to JPG action is up-res'ing the image to 300dpi.
This is where I need help. Is 1 or 2 (or something else?) happening. Also, does the PDF save as JPG12? That too is undocumented.
If number 1 is happening I may have to set my album size to 26x20inches to get a 10x13 inch page at 300dpi.
If number 2 is happening I need to find a PDF/TIFF/JPEG print driver to enable me to export at 300dpi as the print dialog in not standard (and we don't get the nice 'save as' drop down where we could do other things. So far my search has led me to CUPS-PDF, but that still doesn't allow for resolution to be set: http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx
Why can't Apple just figure this thing out correctly and allow the resolution to be specified by the user - what an oversight given all of the feedback requests for the custom album tool. We need 300dpi as a minimum as we can always down-res if we want.
Any ideas? I've got albums to send to clients! Help!
Thanks

When you import any PDF into Aperture, I think it rasterizes any PDF you import to a 150dpi flat image on import, even if it was a high res PDF to begin with. But theres the thing, PDFs don't have dpi (as such). Any shapes or text is a vector so don't have a DPI as they'll scale when printed. The images use their DPI when they were imported from the program that created the PDF.
So I did a quick test and put a page I made from Aperture in to Acrobat and ran a preflight check on all images to check the resolution. It came back at 349.956 ppi, so this example was over 350dpi.

How to use custom label formats to display currency and percentage

Hi There,
I need a pie chart to display both currency and percentage. I have the cell format editor open for custom cell formats (from the pie chart label format menu) but am not sure how to write the expression.
I've tried something like this but get an error:
$ #,### - % #,###
How can I display both currency and percentage for the same label?
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ben

labels built into Keynote can be displayed as percentage or value, not both
The choice is made in: Inspector > chart > series > data point settings
the work around is to manually add text boxes with the currancy value entered in each box, as in $2.00

Has someone knowlege of how to use Custom Number Format in Numbers V3.0

Hello Everyone,
From Excel to Numbers '09 I worked with Custom Number Format.
Making formats like 60 sec, km/h or m/s².
In the new Version 3.0 it is not under 'Format'/Custom Number Format.
I did not find it! Has someone found a way to do it the old way.
I am working with the German version.
Bye

Limmy,
There is no option in Numbers 3.0 for Custom Format. If that is mandatory for your purposes, it is still available in Version 2.3.

Loading custom image formats

Hello all.
I am wanting to load a custom image format into my Java application, and am wondering how to do that. I have a few ideas to try but I figure if there is a site out there (or someone with the knowledge), there is no need for me to re-invent the wheel. So hopefully, someone might be able to expedite my learning. :)
The image format I want to read actually contains multiple images, with 1 color palette at the end of the file. I'd like to create a series of (I assume) BufferedImages for all the images contained within the file.
Are there any sites out there that can send me through a quick tutorial on rolling my own images, or can anyone give me a short function to do so?
Thanks so much!

Okay... I failed. I could really use some help in getting this work. Please.
I have a file, which contains 1 or more compressed bitmap images and a palette. I have a small Perl script that will convert the images in the file into multiple bitmap image files, so I know where the data is and I know I have the data locations right. :)
To create a BITMAP, I must reverse the order of the palette (perl function):
sub reversePalette() {
my $output = "";
for (my $i=0; $i < length($_[0]); $i=$i+4) {
$output = $output . substr($_[0], $i+2, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+1, 1) . substr($_[0], $i+0, 1) . chr(0);
return $output;
}For the image data itself, it uses a simple RLE encoding. If I see a 0, I check the next number and "uncompress" the data by adding that many 0's to the output file.
So, what I would like to do is convert my Perl script into a Java class that will take this sprite file and return an array of BufferedImages, which can then be used for whatever.
Any help in this would be greatly appreciated! I can't even figure out how to properly load a valid BMP file manually using WritableRaster and ColorModel. I'm so lost. :(

Importing custom books into Aperture

I have customized some books by editing the xml files by hand (changed the background color of the page and the fonts, nothing esoteric). Does anyone know how Aperture 2 handles the import of a book that is based on a customized template?

I have some customized books too. Aperture 2.0 loaded them without problems in the books popup menu. If your books are located in User/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Book Themes, you should be fine.
