Digital booklet: PDF, size

One of my purchased album comes with a digital booklet; it's a PDF file. I would like to print it and put it into a CD case; however, the physical size of the PDF is too large.
With which tool (WinXP or Linux) could I scale down the pages?
Thanks!
Dell Dimension 8300 Windows XP

Are you printing from Acrobat Reader? Check the print options, it may be fitting the printout to the page size. Turn that off and it may come back down to CD booklet size images.

I recently purchased the new Black Sabbath 13 (Deluxe Version) album in iTunes and the pdf digital booklet will not open in Adobe Reader. I only get errors saying the file is either not supported, or is damaged. Any suggestions?

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to try deleting the digital booklet and downloading it again. This article explains how:

Digital Booklet PDF is damaged and won't open

Hi, I purchased Negramaro- Mentre tutto scorre on the iTunes music store yesterday, but whenever I try to open the interactive booklet pdf file in acrobat reader, I get a message saying "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to fix this or get a new, undamaged version of the file?
Thanks

DIgital booklets are not available for repeat download or I would suggest you simply delete and get a fresh copy. Instead use the "report a problem" links in your account history to contact the store support team. Hopefully they can requeue a working version for you to download.

The digital booklet of the album I purchased won't run, Adobe Reader claims the PDF file is damaged.

I purchased an album (Avenged Sevenfold - Hail to the King, if it matters.)
On one of my authorized computers, the downloaded Digital Booklet PDF file isn't working, and Adobe Reader displays the following error:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Hail to the King.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged."
On another authorized computer the file works fine.
I tried transferring the 'damaged' file to another computer, and it doesn't work. Meaning the file itself I get is damaged.
What can I do?
Thanks.

BTW this is the second report I've spotted regarding this album, so there may actually be a problem with the source file. I take it you are running the latest version reader, if not it would be worth upgrading to eliminate the unlikely event that it is an issue.
PS. On the other computer where it works was this file downloaded with your account or another? Have you tried transferring the copy that is known to work to your other computers?

Digital Booklets for albums no longer handled within iTunes - so annoying!

So, as one of its "improvements" to iTunes, digital booklets are now handled by iBooks. And they have removed the ability to edit the metadata, so now I have a bunch of booklets in iBooks in no order, and unsearchable.
1. I can't see why I should want to have another app open to read the booklets assiciated with an album I am listening to.
2. Why should I not be able to edit the metadata, or create my own booklets from PDF or scans?
3. If they do change this, am I really going to have to edit the metadata of my 5000 digital booklets inn my iTunes library?
What a pain the the backside!

I second your emotion!
I have not been an iBook user (and I don't even own an iPhone or iPad), but I am a huge iTunes user (on an iMac). Here are my observations and complaints.
I think this is some sort of mistake or oversight - it makes no sense whatsoever to remove an iTunes music digital booklet from it's source - to force us to open another app to view the liner notes for an album. I predict (and certainly hope) they will reintegrate this in the future.
When I opened iBooks, it only imported one (one!) of numerous digital booklets from my iTunes library. The rest it left stranded in iTunes.
When I tried to import the rest - all named "digital booklet.pdf" and nested within the iTunes library file structure - it tried to overwrite the one that was already there.
The books themselves are buried deep within the system library file system - quite inaccessible.
That's not a problem, necessarily, but not being able to edit metadata (title, author, etc.) also makes no sense whatsoever. Shouldn't it work like iTunes, where I can edit artist, song and album title, etc.?
Anyway, this strikes me as an inadvertent snafu - a bad side effect of the iBooks improvements. Again, I hope Apple is paying attention and will improve both the fuctionality of iBooks (particularly as relates to metadata editability) and its integration with iTunes (reuiniting our music with its accompanying documentation).

Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
Thank you!!!

Default pdf viewer for Digital Booklet

I have Adobe Reader 8.0 on my computer as my default viewer for Acrobat documents. I also have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional installed, which I use to create pdfs. When I click on a digital booklet in iTunes, it opens with 6.0 with an error message. When I click on it in windows explorer, it opens in 8.0. Is there any way to change the iTunes configuration so it will open booklets with Reader 8.0?
thanks

Depends on where you are getting the PDF from. If it's sent as an attachment in an email then Mail will open it; if it's on a website then Safari will open it. You can also download Apple's iBooks app for free which will open PDFs

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Exporting Music Digital Booklet for iTunes Upload

I'm a bit new to InDesign, and having difficulties exporting a finished booklet for an album my company is releasing on iTunes.
iTunes has certain minimum requirements, most of which are easy to accommodate. One of them, however, is proving to be tricky for me. They say the pages must all be in landscape orientation, and must be sized at 11 inches x 8.264 inches.
Imagine the size of a CD booklet in your hand (about 4.25" x 4.25"), and then imagine the size when you have the booklet open (about 8.5" x 4.25"). This is the same size the booklet is in InDesign currently. I need to figure out how to export the booklet in its current size to those exact PDF dimensions of 11" x 8.264", and if possible, to be able to choose the color of the extra canvas space that is created as a result. I'd likely choose white, or a neutral gray.
Can this be done in InDesign? I haven't been able to find anything online to help, and after waiting over two hours for Adobe customer service to call me back, it was quickly apparent that the guy calling from India who couldn't speak clear English could not understand what I was asking, and I doubt he knew the answer anyway. I don't know, because I had to finally hang up.

I'm making a digital booklet for iTunes because we are a label and we are releasing an album, and a digital booklet is to accompany said album.
You asked me if I would be using Folio Builder, and the answer is no, I'm using InDesign. If Folio Builder is a function of InDesign, then I didn't know that. Like I said, the app is new to me, which is why I'm here asking this question.
FYI, the 11" x 8.264" dimensions required by iTunes match the 1024 px x 768 px you mentioned.
Do you have any more questions for me or do you the answer to the question?

Why can't I delete a digital booklet from my iTunes library?

I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes, and now the digital booklets from albums I've purchased appear in my library as if they were songs. When I try to delete them, I get a dialogue box that says "Are you sure you want to hide this item in iCloud?" Whether I click yes or no, nothing changes. I have deleted the PDF files from where they were stored on my computer, and still am not able to delete these files from iTunes. I really don't want them there because they take up space on my iPhone when I sync it. Ideas?

TS1424 I need help, see there is this Digital Booklet that is supposed to be included with the purchase of an album but i still for some odd reason haven't and can't get it, what is going on?!?!

Details:
Album: We Can Make The World Stop (by: The Glitch Mob)
Songs: I bought all three songs in the album which counts as buying the album yet the Digital Booklet won't download like it says it should due to the album being bought which is what I did.
Digital Booklet - We Can Make The World Stop - EP
Question: Can someone please help me get this digital booklet that i should have already had a while ago?

Thinking back to when I've seen displays of newsprint that's been greatly magnified, being able to see the halftone screen pattern seems important. It gives the display a look of authenticity.
You say the library can scan at 600 ppi. If that's 600 ppi of a greatly reduced image on a piece of microfiche, it may not give you the resolution you're looking for, and it's entirely possible that getting a quality optical print then scanning it would give you better.
I don't see how you can plan how to proceed in anything like specific detail if you don't have an image that represents what you're really going to be starting with in detail. Perhaps getting one scan might be a good idea.
After that, you just need to figure out what ppi your final overall panel design is going to be at, and upsample the newspaper clippings to match, so that they're the size you need them to be.

Digitally Signed PDF crashes Mail and Preview

I've run into an odd situation - if I try to send a digitally signed PDF file using the Mail app or even view that file in the Preview app, those apps crash. The PDF files are created in Adobe Acrobat Pro version 9.1.0 (for the Mac). My Mail and Preview apps are right up to date.
The same PDF file still opens just fine in Adobe Acrobat. If I create exactly the same file, but don't go through the digital signature step, the files open (in Preview) and send (in Mail) just fine.
Anyone else run into this problem and/or have a suggestion on how to avoid it?
(P.S. By "create", I mean I have printed to the "Adobe PDF 9.0" print driver, which creates the base PDF file. Then I have also "secured" the file by requiring a password be entered to change anything. The final step, which seems to be causing the problem, is digitally signing the file.)

The problem may be related to asking Acrobat 9 to output a file format "compatible" with older versions -- along with adding security.
If you check the Console log, I think you will find that the "mdworker" task is also crashing -- even when you open the file successfully with Adobe Reader. I presume this is Spotlight trying to index the file.
Safari will also crash when attempting to view such a PDF. It puts out a Console message indicating invalid AES block size or some such. Presumably this is related to the 128 bit AES security in the PDF file. Using 128 bit RC4 results in a file that doesn't crash Preview, but the document content is garbled by Preview so it's just as bad.

Digital Booklets With Adobe Reader

I recently purchased a Digital Booklet, but when I click on it (on my computer, in my music library) Adobe Reader opens and the follow message shows:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'Digital Booklet - Say Anything.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I tried to update Adobe Reader, but it still shows this message. How do I view my Digital Booklet?

Are you getting a corrupted file message, and how are you downloading them ? With the U2 booklet I could only open it when I downloaded it from Purchased, not via the cloud icon in the Music part of my iTunes library (i.e. if you have 'show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases' ticked on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences).
Try deleting the booklets from the Music part of your library. Then go into the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and try redownloading them from there and see if you can then open them.

How do I convert a booklet PDF to normal A4 PDF?

Hi,
We have certain reports that come from a third-party as Booklet PDFs and need to convert them to normal A4 size PDFs before publishing them. Can anyone tell us how to do this?
1. How to do it individually? and
2. Is there a script or something that can be used to convert such PDFs' format as a batch?
A quick reply will be very helpful and highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hari

If I'm guessing correctly, you are asking how to unimpose a booklet set up as printer spreads so you can post it as individual pages.
The short answer is that you don't. You make a new PDF from the original file.
If that's not possible, be prepared for a lot of work placing the pdf into ID and cropping off half of each spread (you'll eventually place every spread twice) and rearranging the cropped halves into consecutive order.
