Ebook with 160 pages and 250 photos?

Hi!
We have a project to publish sports books in several languages, with the idea to have the same layout both in printed books as well as in eBooks - for image reasons and to avoid extra work. So we plan to use PDF files for eBooks. The format of these books is 21 x 23,5 cm (8,27 x 9,25 inc), number of pages: 160.
We have the first book now ready (edited in QuarkXpress which will be converted to InDesign - we'll start to use Adobe Creative Cloud) - and it has 250 photos (!), several of them full page.
This number of photos - we are afraid - will be a problem for eBooks... If we edit the book with 72 dpi resolution photos to keep the pdf file small enough for eBook distributors, the quality of the photos will not be acceptable (according to the tests we've done using QuarkXpress). These books include a lot of technical details, so it is very important that the readers can see those details presented in the photos.
Will InDesign resolve this problem? Could we do the editing with 300 dpi photos (as we do for printed books) and using InDesign's various PDF-"packing systems" get a not-too-heavy pdf file for eBook distributors - but still reasonably good quality photos for our eBooks readers? Or should we forget the whole "eBook project" and just concentrate on printed books?
Other suggestions to create 160-page eBooks with 250 quality photos?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, thanks Jongware, but we know the "principles"...
The basic question is: is there any chance to produce in InDesign a (pdf based) eBook with this number of pages (160) and this number of photos (250, several full page) with these two characteristics:
acceptable good quality photos
file size less than 100 MB (actually 200 MB accepted by our eBook distributor, but over 100 MB not recommended)
Has somebody experience with similar projects?
Could I see (download) somewhere similiar eBooks already published?

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

Just bought a Macbook air. Isn't it supposed to come loaded with Numbers, Pages and other basic software?

Just bought a MacBook Air. Isn't is supposed to come loaded with Numbers, Pages and other basic software? I can't find these. Can anyone help?

It comes with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, but not with Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You have to download them from the Mac App Store.
Open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and accept all these apps, so they will be downloaded and installed free of charge.
If you cannot download them, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

I started with 100 pages in my photo book. Then reduced the number to 75 for finished project. When i click on "buy" it says I have some frames with no photos. But I've checked entire book

I started a book with 100 pages, but reduced it to 75 by deleting some pages. When i completed the book & tried to buy it a box pops up saying I have some frames that need photos. I've checked the book over & over & cannot find any pages like that. How can I order my completed book?

Look for pages that use photos for the background, even if you have other photos on the page. It'll look something like this in the layout pane:
It would look like this in the PDF version:
If you have a 1 photo per page, full page, you could have that option selected and not know it unless you looked at the layout pane like this example:

Problem with "Next Page" And "Zoom" in CrystalReportViewer With VS 2010

Hello,
i am using crystal report v 13 sp1 with visual studio 2010,
As mebtioned, the next page and the zoom is not working in my report, whiwh has as data source "Stored Procedure"
This is my code, and i think it's correct, i was using this code in previous versions of crystal report (cr10) and it worked fine,
When i used the Data set , the next page and zoom worked fine, but with stored procedure it doesn't work,
Note: when i open the Tree of Data on the left, then click on the next page or the zoom, it become funtional, it's very weird,
protected void *Page_Init*(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (!IsPostBack)
reportDocument = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session ["_reportDocument"];
if (reportDocument != null)
string rptFile = reportDocument.FileName.Split('
', '/').Last();
LoadReportRessource(reportDocument);
TableLogOnInfo log = new TableLogOnInfo();
ConnectionStringSettings conn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0]; //la premiere connectionstring
SqlConnectionStringBuilder SConn = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(conn.ConnectionString);
log.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = SConn.DataSource;
log.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = SConn.InitialCatalog;
log.ConnectionInfo.UserID = SConn.UserID;
log.ConnectionInfo.Password = SConn.Password;
log.ConnectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
for (int i = 0; i < reportDocument.Database.Tables.Count; i++)
reportDocument.Database.Tables.ApplyLogOnInfo(log);
for (int i = 0; i < CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.Count; i++)
CrystalReportViewer1.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = log.ConnectionInfo;
CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = (ParameterFields)this.Page.Session ["_paramFields"];
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
else
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session ["_reportDocument"] ;

@Don:
Sorry, but i donno what do you mean by "what is the App Pool running in 32 or 64 bit?",
i am running the application locally, ( the IIS is installed locally ),
as i told you, my OS is 64bit,
And yes i tried a very simple report, with just one field , and the "next button" is also not working,
Its only not working with stored procedure, in the others methods ( push or pull method is working fine)
i think its a problem in refreshing page, because when i open the tree on the left, then click on next page or zoom, its works fine
@Ludek:
i changed my code as below, and it doesn't solve my problem:
 ReportDocument reportDocument;
 protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
 if (!IsPostBack)
 reportDocument = (ReportDocument)this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"];
 if (reportDocument != null)
 string rptFile = reportDocument.FileName.Split('
', '/').Last();
 TableLogOnInfo log = new TableLogOnInfo();
 ConnectionStringSettings conn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[0];
 SqlConnectionStringBuilder SConn = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(conn.ConnectionString);
 log.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = SConn.DataSource;
 log.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = SConn.InitialCatalog;
 log.ConnectionInfo.UserID = SConn.UserID;
 log.ConnectionInfo.Password = SConn.Password;
 log.ConnectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
 for (int i = 0; i < reportDocument.Database.Tables.Count; i++)
 reportDocument.Database.Tables.ApplyLogOnInfo(log);
 this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"] = reportDocument;
 CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = (ParameterFields)this.Page.Session["_paramFields"];
 CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDocument;
 CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
 else
 CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = this.Page.Session["_reportDocument"];

Print JTable with Multiple pages and rows

I took the printing example at http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/advprint.html#pe and modified it a bit to include the following:
1) To Print Multiple pages
2) To wrap lines that is too long for the column
3) To print with a more proffesional style, so that it doesn't look like a screen capture is printed
4) To align the numbers to the right and center column headings

Help with Quiz pages and buttons (please)

We use Captivate 6 with a subscription. I have put together a couple of modules with question pools, and some with just a few questions pages inserted. The last time I created a new captivate project, I put inserted quiz pages and the buttons were different then they had been before. The first few times they were grey, now they are green and a bit smaller. Looking at the proporties for each page and button, I cannot see anything that is different othe than one is a text button and the other is a transparent button. Both buttons are marked as default quiz button style. I don't use any themes. To make this short, I would like to know if there is a way to make the buttons the same every time I add a page, or a pool? I am not yet up to designing my own buttons, but probably will here shortly. Right now I need to get some training modules completed as quickly as possible so I don't have the time to reinvent the wheel (so to speak). The only other thing that I noticed was different in the projects was that in the skin editor one uses one called [default](modifired) and the other one uses one that I created. HOWEVER, I have another one that uses my custome skin and the buttons are grey on that one which is the same as the default one. I don't think the skin has anything to do with the button look. Correct me gently if I am wrong on this.
Thanks for the help.

Just one remark: in CP6 you always use a theme. And quiz slides have their own master slides, that will always be used. The buttons take on the style you see on those master slides, and this style can also be found in the object style manager. Skin and object styles are part of the theme. Probably you have overridden some of the styles defined?

Problem with TOC pages and books

I'm using RH 8 and generate Webhelp.
I created a project and had to change some TOC pages and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. In RH it looks fine but when I generate the TOC displays the page instead of the book. I tried deleting my cache in IE and deleting the page again. Still no help. I rebooted, and even restarted and still got the same thing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

Hi there
If the page is not actually inside of a Book, the WebHelp generation process will sense that.
If you want a Book, try right-clicking the page in the TOC editor and choose "Create Book from Page". This should create a book with the page inside it. Of course both will have the same name, so you may need to rename the Book. Or rename the page. Your choice.
Cheers... Rick

Q: How do I Mask/Layer a color photo with a black and white photo?

This is what I want to do. I've done it before but cannot remember for the life of me how to do it again. I want to put a color photo under (its own) black and white photo and then erase or remove or something (I can't remember the tool to do it) but I want to be able to see some of the color photo in my black and white photo. For example, say I have a pic of the Disneyland Castle. I want to make the pic black and white and then with a layer or mask (whichever one) have the exact colors of the picture underneith it show up after I have used the paint brush to remove the black and white...is anyone understanding me? When I did it before I know I did it in only a few steps, it wasn't super complicated, and I'm probably stupid for not knowing how to do it now. Thanks!
Lindsey Henry

Lindsey,
First, look at the Channels in the B/W. Probably, you can use one of those as a Selection and then as a Layer Mask. If not perfect, then you can likely get close. If you need to, you might want to Blend more than one of those Channels.
If you have an issue "collecting" the Channels, just get your B/W into a separate Image, and then drag individual Channels back to your composite image, and use them, as is necessary.
Hope that some of those ideas are useful,
Hunt
BTW - turn OFF the color for Channels, so that you can see them as B/W, as that will help you see their makeup.

This.layout with two pages and cover sheet

Hello @all,
in the documentation for the "doc properties" and "layout" section I only find the following strings:
SinglePage
OneColumn
TwoColumnLeft
TwoColumnRight
TwoPageLeft
TwoPageRight
I set it for the active document with the following command in my JavaScript:
this.layout = "TwoPageLeft";
But what is the right entry/string, if I want the "two pages view" with an "single page"-cover sheet?
That means, I need a command/string for my document where only the first page is in the middle and alone and the other pages (starts at the second page) must be two next two each other.
Regards,
Jessi

And i suppose i could suppress any other fields from page one based on the same flag. But ideally as they layout is common i was hoping not to have to do a subreport to lay it all out again.
Could i not based on a flag on the group footer or header say if this flag is true start a new page and then on the feilds the ones i want to hide or show say something like if page two and x is ture then show or hide as need be??

Firefox pops up with "alot" page and I have asked for it to be gone ( don't want to use it at all and it is invasive), how do I do so?

The update keeps putting "alot" at the forefront and asking me if I want it. Every time I say no and it comes back. Every time I open the browser I have to close this new window and it is getting to the point where i do not want to use Firefox as my browser anymore.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Working with master pages and page layout, what I have been doing wrong

I have worked on customizing the page layout and the master pages for a couple of site collections.
But now I read two restrictions which I was not following 100%:-
I should avoid directly modifying any default templates, and instead of that I should take a copy and modify the copy. So that any future updates will not override my modifications.
Also I should avoid directly modifying the .aspx files, and instead of that I should edit the html file which will automatically reflect on the .aspx files.
So currently I have these cases inside my SharePoint sites:-
Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I have being modifying the Enterprisewiki.aspx page layout, for example I added new columns such as Page title and I remove the page rating, also the chnaged the color and format for the page fields.
Inside my team site I took a copy of the seatle.master master page (I name it seatle_copy.master)and I apply my modification to the seatle_copy.master directly and not inside the .html file. Even I do not have a html version for the modified seatle_copy.master?
So can anyone advice how I can fix these two issues. For the first issue how I can make sure that my modifications to the EnterPriseWiki.aspx page layout will not get override during any future update.
also how I can generate an html version for my current seatle_copy.master file so that I can modify the seatle_copy.html instead of the seatle_copy.master in the future?
Please can anyone advice?

Hi johnjohn123,
1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
master page gallery.
2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
modify the default.
If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.
