Enlarge images on tap from iBooks Author to preview on iPad...
I wonder if anyone can indicate how to output 'all' images to enlarge on tap on preview in iPad?
While some images output correctly on tap on iPad (they get bigger), others don't. Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks much for checking it out! After your response and some additional looking around on our part, we're heading down the "it might be Apple" path - perhaps something that happens on upload from Producer (compression, maybe???).
The reason we're going that way is that we can't really replicate either - without Apple. The upload to the Apple store through Producer seems to be the constant.
So ...
Drop shadows visible directly in .iba file in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when using the preview feature in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 when directly opening the .iBooks file exported in iBooks Author = yes.
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded preview from iBoookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
Drop shadows visible in iBooks 2 in downloaded (full purchase) book from iBookstore = no (only in the TOC view).
Here's the link to one of the books this is happening to. If you have the time/inclination to look, would you please confirm if you can see drop shadows? There should be at least one on every page of the preview.

Again ... much appreciate the look!!!

How do I un-embed a youtube video? I deleted the youtube video from ibooks author on my iMac, but it won't delete from the ipad ibook view. It shows up in my book as a blank bar until I tap it, then it plays the video. I made a new page after deleting the original page in which I inserted the video; it still shows up. Only the advertisement from the video plays.
delete the media widget in Author
re-preview to your iPad
hope this helps... -
When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books
When I publish from ibooks author will the pages flip like my other books the preview only slides side to side
Pages continue to slide rather than flip for the horizontal orientation. In the vertical orientation, the text scrolls up-and-down like a web page (again as shown in iBooks Author if you change the previewed orientation). I'm not sure why Apple went with the different GUI for their textbooks, but its the same for the ones authored by the big publishers. If you want to see what the format is like on the iPad, there's a short free textbook (Wilson's Life on Earth) and sample chapters from others available from the iBookstore.
On a side note, one interesting thing about using texts in the two different orientations is that the formating changes as well. Figures that show up as larger embedded images in the horizontal layout are smaller images in the left margin in the vertical layout, at least in Wilson's book. -
Can't add books from iBooks Author
I have 4 books that I exported from iBooks Author and tried to copy them to iBooks, however since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can only add one book and after this it tells me for the subsequent books that the book is already in the library (as above) even though this is not the case.
I am using a Mac Pro with all the latest updates.
I am also experiencing the same issue copying the files from Google Drive / Dropbox on to the iPad

Hi,
I want to see my ibook author publication in my iPad's desktop as an independent app, not in iBooks.
Pls help, is there ANY way?
Sahid.Got it. I want to do the work by myself. To learn the coding in that level to make a app like that, is that too difficult? Or what level of experience is required for this?
Actually it could be a good exposure of my work, impression and also a business aspect, as these kind thought is few in my country "Bangladesh"
I am surfing Mag+ and iTablo. Do u have any other suggestion on these? -
Can't drag image into widgets using ibooks author
i have ibooks author 2.0 and i'm running on 10.8.2. i was working on ibooks author and suddenly i couldn't drag any pictures into the widgets, not the Interactive Image, not the Gallery. In the Gallery widget i could get around it by manually inserting pictures (tediously) using the inspector, but there's no option for that using the Interactive Image widget. i've restarted the computer, hasn't made any difference, any help would be appreciated, thanks
yes, it goes onto the page, but it won't go inside the widgets. i've also tried deleting and re-installing ibooks author and it hasn't resolved the issue

How to make hard cover paper book from iBooks author digital book
Someone suggested I make a few hard cover books from my iBooks Author published digital book. How would you go about doing this?
What file should I should I use, (PDF, etc)? What printer would do this best (iPhoto publishing, etc)?
Hoping it will be easy to use the format of iBooks Author so that I won't have to make changes.
Many thanks for your help.You can print directly from iBA or you can generate a PDF from the print menu and use that. Be sure to test layouts, orientation, etc. Of course certain content won't be output to a printer.
There are hundreds of printers to choose from - shop your budget. -
Page orientation when printing from iBooks Author
I have a iBooks document, all in portrait orientation. If I print this doc then it is printed in landscape even if I change the orientation to portrait within the printing interface. iBooks somehow is stuck to landscape when printing.
Who has got a solution to this?

Without specifying your higher goal, it is difficult for me to decide on what part of the question the emphasis lies, sorry.
Are you trying to ask for help in the forum or to file a bug?
I'm hoping that someone here has figured out how to control the orientation when exporting to PDF. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.
while there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.
Actually, there is: the Apple Developer Program. I have submitted a number of bug reports for IBA there, and have received timely and constructive responses from the development team.
Good luck and welcome to iBA.
I've been using IBA since it was released, as you well know.

HT4059 PDFs from ibooks Author limitations?
Are there limitations to the PDFs that one can create from a book authored with ibooks author (for people who don't have apple devices to be able to read)?
Yes, there are many limitations - an iBA PDF lacks the interactivity that an .ibooks file would have, including links, TOC, etc.
Consider it a preview that allows for basic review.
What other devices are you attempting to target?
Keep in mind that iBA outputs a hybrid epub, which is why iBooks on iOS is required (coming to the next OS X), while Pages outputs an industry standard epub, which is cross-platform. -
IBook from iBook Author to iPhone...?
I want to make a few of my iBooks available on iPhone. I've made them using iBooks Author and they are clearly formatted for iPad. Does iBook Author output file types that can be read on iPhone? If not, can anyone recommend a method to take iBook content to the iPhone?
Thanks in advance~
[email protected]You can output PDF or just text for use on iPhone....assuming you're not talking about the store.
Otherwise, an .ibooks file will only target a compatible iPad, sorry.
If you car to do the rework, you can repurpose your content to a Pages or InDesign standard epub, which will work on both iPhone and iPad via iBooks. And yes, it's not a straight path....kind of a backwards path, actually
It may be best to author first in Pages so you have the wider standard epub distribution channel, and then consider doing an iBA release as a follow-on. -
HT5071 Publishing from iBooks Author for approval
I am in the process of creating a book with iBooks Author and want to send it to contributors for approval. I know how to do it if they have an iPad. Is there a way to convert to another format for viewing with a Mac or PC?
Thanks,

Thanks KT,
Yes, problem is that the chapters are a combination of contextual text and sound bites.
If you are able to accomplish the same result with .epub format, this would be readable on all platforms. But you would have to use some other app, like Pages, to create it. -
Can't Open an iBook (from iBook Author)
I downloaded an iBook, one which was created in iBook Author. I get a message that simply says the file cannot be opened. (The document "iBook Name" could not be opened."
I imported the iBook into iTunes and tried to add it to my iPad. But the iBook does not show up on the list of books that I can sync to the iPad.
When I look at the iBook in iTunes, in the Books sidebar section, I can see the iBook. It is listed as a Book not a Protected Book.
I checked the permissions on the file and I can read and write this file, so it doesn't seem to be a permission issue.Tom Gewecke wrote:
iBook Author is for making iBooks, it cannot read them.
That's interesting. I would never have guessed that iBooks Author couldn't open an iBook. Even one that was created in iBook Author?
Also, I figured out why I couldn't sync this book to my iPad. I had forgot that on this iPad I had not upgraded to iBooks 2. Which I've now done and it syncs just fine.
Thanks. -
Is iBooks author available for the iPad?
I'd like to use the iBooks author. I have the new iPad (#3) is the iBooks author only available for use on the Mac?
If it is restricted to the Mac, - I don't have a Mac - is it possible to use one of those programs that translates a Mac program for use on a PC?That's actually a bummer!!
I've seen Pgms that allowed a PC to use Apple Pgms. But that was several years ago. I'm assuming from what you said, those days are gone. Is that right?
The only Pgm that comes near iBooks Author is InDesign - and that's hundreds of dollars Vs FREE! And InDesign is Overkill with a heavy learning curve.
The aggregators are actually Go-Betweens that convert for a fee, and then collect a % of the sales, in addition to what Apple takes.
I'd prefer to use the iBooks Author because it's simple and does nice work. AND the submission is direct to Apple, which avoids the extra aggregator fees and commissions on all future sales.
There's also an additional 30 to 45 days AFTER Apple's 30 - 60 days till payment is sent. They work with my money AND don't send it till it totals $500.
Do you have any experience with any of the other Pgms similar to the iBooks Author? -
I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author. The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues.

IBooks Author stopped recognizing my iPad
Hello everyone, ibooks author stopped letting me publish a preview to my iPad. When I click on preview, it doesn't show any devices attached. iTunes can see my iPad (and iPhone for that matter). Any ideas?
I've seen similair forums, but the key difference is iBooks Author let me publish previews in the past. However it doesn't recognize my iPad (or iPhone). I know my MacBook is recognizing them (as they show up in iTunes and in the finder).
Help?It's been that way for me for a while now...works when it wants
The alternative, of course, is to Share/Export as an .ibooks file, then drop into iTunes, then sync.
