Embed pdf into iBooks Author

Hi,
I've been creating a book in iBooks Author.
But the customer wants to include some pdf articles into the book.
What i have tried so far:
drag and drop pdf -> only imports first page of the pdf
PDF to Keynote -> bad quality, not zoomable
HTML widget with:
A <object data="myPDF.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>
This gives some sort of source code of the pdf
HTML widget wit a object but the data referece to a pdf that is on the internet
=> shows the pdf but you can not navigate to the other pages
redirect to a pdf that is on the internet
=> shows the pdf and you can scroll to the other pages W00t!
Now i want this result but with a pdf that is embedded into the widget so that the reader shouldn't be connected to the internet to read the pdf...

Okay, so sticking with an English book which has Hebrew text in it. Assuming that the book has been first typeset in IDCS6, then would recommend simply sending the ePUB3 file to the iBooks store?
Yes.  For testing, just email or otherwise transfer it to your iPad and see what it looks like in iBooks.
I assume you've seen the stuff Adobe produces, like

  • When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

    Hi,
    when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
    This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
    All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
    Anybody?
    Thanks a lot!
    Wouter

    I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
    I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

  • Importing PDF to iBooks Author

    I have a double column book in PDF format of over 300 pages. Is there some way (other than dragging and dropping each of the hundreds of pages into iBooks Author) to import this book into iBooks Author with correct formatting?

    Calibre might work.
    The dual column could be an issue though.
    If it doesn't work, here's a "How To Geek" article on the topic.

  • 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.

  • How can I import an ibook file back into iBook Author?

    I exported an ebook from iBook Author thinking it is the equivalent of saving the file.
    I did not save the file, I only exported it and than exited the program.
    My active file is vannished.
    I need to make some adjustments to the ebook, but can not bring it back up.
    Is there a way that I can re-import the iBook file back into iBook Author?
    When I open iBook Author and try to open the exported file the program does not recognise the ibook file...
    Thanks for your help!

    Check for previous versions of that book in iBA....even if not saved.
    You can dig into the .ibooks file by changing the suffix to zip, but you'll have to manually extract what you can from assets you find. Please only do this with your own books.

  • Is there a way to import multiple questions at once into iBooks Author?

    I have a list of 200 questions that I do not want to have to manually enter into iBooks Author review sections. Is there a way to batch upload them into a quiz?

    Not yet, but that would help with the 217 I've been putting off
    Perhaps a word to Apple via the Feedback menu would help...

  • Photos Do Not Appear When Dragged Into Ibooks Author

    I formatted my images to 72 DPI .png files and when i drag and drop them into Ibooks Author I can see them, I can manipulate them, resize,  add captions.  When I do a test the images appear in the text view portriat mode of the Ipad but when in the landscape mode, the images do not appear. There is just a blank space with a caption.   If I create a photo widget and drop the photo inside I am able to see it on the Ipad however that widget does not allow me to resize as I would like.  Does anyone have a fix for this issue or an idea?
    Thanks
    Chris A. 

    Confirm your process here:
    Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
    ...and try jpg for photos instead of png.
    And remember - layout in landscape...edit in portrait. Always delete a placeholder image before adding your own.

  • I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit?

    I deleted my ibooks author file but the preview is still available on my ipad, can I get the ibook back into ibooks author to continue to edit? I have not published anything, just previewed on my ipad but the file seems to be deleted from my imac which is what I was using ibooks author on. Any help is welcome!

    It's not a 'process' at all.
    If it was easy/straightforward, people would be turning store versions into iBA versions left/right and all **** would break loose. It's not and that's a good thing, sorry
    Work up from whatever version you have.
    Any work you value should be backed up....period. That backup should be used and tested regularly. Consider this a lesson learned, perhaps. Good luck in the future.

  • Difficulty importing Pages document into iBooks Author

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong--but when I insert a Pages document (made up of 16 pages of images), iBooks Author collapses the 16 pages of images into a single page, adding the additional pages as blank pages. Same thing happens when I insert the file as an MS Word file.
    Shouldn't it be easy to insert a Pages into iBooks Author?
    Ideas?
    Thanks...

    Should be....but....there is no simple lever to pull that amounts to a fitz-all recipe.
    Experiment with different iBA templates using copy/paste from your source.

  • Do MathType equations in Word import effectively into iBooks Author?

    I am looking for the best way to build MathType equations in Word to successfully import into iBooks Author.

    That seems like an extra step. Since iBooks Author (iBA) already has a "MathType Equation" command on its Insert menu, why not do it directly from iBA?
    If, however, you want to do it as you describe (or perhaps you have an existing Word document and you want to use its equations in iBA -- that makes sense), you'll need to build the equations in Word, then select the one you want (i.e., click on it once), copy it, then use the Insert > MathType Equation command in iBA. When MathType opens, paste the equation into the window. Close MathType and the equation will insert into iBA.
    Incidentally, WRT TX Aggie SE's suggestion to use the MS Word Equation Editor, I think you'll find that'll produce less than satisfactory results in iBA, no matter if you use the "old" equation editor, or the "new" one that was introduced in Word 2011.

  • How can I add an ePub into iBook author?

    I am trying to insert an ePub file created on the App "My Story" into iBook author, any suggestions?

    Copy/paste
    Open in Pages - use iBA's 'Insert Chapters from Pages' menu.
    Either of those should work, basically. You'll need to check font substitution, etc.
