File preparation Casebound smyth sewn book

Ello,
I've prepared a 288 page book, that is full colour on each page, including background etc which will be casebound smyth sewn. It's been designed as facing pages with only bleed on the outside edges.
I asked the printer to provide PDF specs and they told me that each page needs to have a 3mm bleed on each side of the page, including margin/inside. OK, for me this is a little confusing as I didn't expect to have create an inside bleed/gutter.
Is it normal to provide inside bleed/gutter for casebound smyth sewn books? Wouldn't imposition software take care of potential creep?
Any advice on this would be highly appreciated as I don't want to mess up the print job
Thanks and regards,
Mark

Is it normal to provide inside bleed/gutter for casebound smyth sewn books? Wouldn't imposition software take care of potential creep?
In the end the imposition is going to be to the trim plus something for creep and it may be that some printers prefer the creep amount to include image when there's a crossover. But the point of creep is to compensate for the portion of the sheet hidden in the binding. So it's not like a trimmed edge (Wire-O) where a missing bleed would be obvious—you'd have to break open the binding to see the inside edge. I would follow the spec's and simply export with an inside bleed.

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author

Is it wise to use ready PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author?
I have a music book with lot's of images that whas previously published as a physical book. I have it all as ready PDF files with illustrations.
Should I copy paste all texts and images seperately into iBooks Author or could I just drag the complete PDF's into the iBooks program.
Thanks!

To drag a page's contents means selecting just that page, which is just copy/paste with the result being an image.
Dragging a PDF into an iBA book means dragging the entire file, which is not the same as selective copy/paste and as noted, results in just an image.
It is possible to just do text /andor just do images, but success can depend on certain attributes they possess, etc. You need to select specific assets, then paste them in, then rework as needed.
PDF-to-iBA isn't neat - formatting, fonts, etc. will be lost. Find the original content that the PDF came from and try to work with it, instead - that will be much cleaner and require less rework, I think.

How can transfer Mac Outlook Contact files to the MacPro Address book?

I tried the suggested three step process, ie, (1) Export Contacts from Outlook in txt formant, and (2) Open the txt file Excel and Save As in csv format, (3) Import the csv file into the MacPro Address book. However the Export from Outlook Contacts in txt results in a messed up file with data in random columns. The Import into the Address book resulted in 21,000 plus entries (my Outlook Contacts had about 3000 plus). Any solutions?

Mac Outlook exports files in a .olm format. What you need is an .olm to the Apple format converter - here's such a tool - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/olm-converter-pro/id522796199?mt=12 = expensive but it gets pretty decent reviews.

I am having the above error message at the last step of submitting an ebook to the ibookstore. .
A call to apple did not yield any solution. It was suggested to me that I contact itunesconnect by email. As it is I have been waiting for about a month now to get responses to the emails I sent to itunesconnect and the ibookstore about another issue.
Anyone has a solution to this? if you so, please let me know.
Thank you.

Postal File Preparation Zone Matrix Date

When uploading Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 files to PostalOne we have been getting a server side validation error and after several days of back and forth with PostalOne support, they say that the problem is a "0" in the Zone Matrix Date field of the .hdr file (position 731-738).
From testing what it looks like is happening is that the original files do not have the 0 and that the Postal File Preparation program adds it.
Currently, the users and/or tech support are having to open the finalzied files up and manually replace the 0's with spaces (which is rather bothersome and a little frustrating for the user when they make a mistake and have to export again).
The questions that I have are:
1. Is there a setting to change in PostPrep or field that we could clear so that the 0 does not get into the files ready for upload?
2. Is there already a modification to PostPrep being worked on to resolve this issue?

Yes, we are setting up the job correctly based on the release notes for 8.00c.08.00.
Here is a little more detail of what was going on and how I came to the conclusion that I about Postal Prep not working for the CPT record:
1. Ran Job with MB option set in Mailing Information section of Presort.
2. Mail.dat files (opened in Text editor) look good.
3. Users open in Postal Prep and make changes needed for scheduled trucking dates and other things.
4. Using Postal Prep the users opens, edits, and save changes to the Component record.
5. Mail.dat files (opened in Text editor) are missing the MB in field 282-283 is no longer there.
6. So I had them go back into Postal Prep to the Compenent record to fix the problem, but the "Postal Price Incentive Type:" field's drop down list does not have an option for MB.

You will need to use an external DVD drive to run the disc installer that came you your machine. You can also do it with another Mac using the Remote Install Max OS X app. Finely, if you have access to another computer, you could burn the install image on a USB thumb drive, boot from that, erase the drive and run the installer.

Help files from a structured Frame book

Has anyone successfully generated help files from a
structured FrameMaker book. When attempting to generate Help from
my structured book, my CPU pegs out at 100% and doesn't move from
there. I'm not sure if my problem is my laptop, the way I
structured the book and files, or something else.
Thanks.

Hello Vivek,
I posted this sometime back in the forum, sorry about the reposting.. but I am hoping that you will have some answers.
I need to create a chm file using content from a Structured FrameMaker file- in other words, single source from Structured FM to RH.
My source file is a structured FM 9 document. When I import this into RoboHelp, I believe RoboHelp can pick the style information from Structured FrameMaker files and enable the style mapping. (http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2007/10/single_sourcing_from_framemake .html).
However, I am not able to figure out the settings required in RoboHelp to enable this mapping.
Is the above possible?
Best regards
Urmi

Postal File Preparation auto-zip feature

I am unable to find the auto-zip feature mentioned in the following post within the Postal File Preparation tool.
Re: MAIL.DAT and ZIP files

I see that is also a useful item.
I was thinking that it might have been an auto-zip feature for files being output for upload to PostalOne!.
Thank you for the clarification.

How to make an Excel file from Contacts in Address Book?

I'd like to save the contents of my Address Book in an Excel file. How do I do it. Address Book doesn't seem to export to a common SS format.
Thanks!

Build an Automator workflow that gets the Contacts you want (like Get Selected Contacts), then add a Get Contact Info and select the items you want. Set the Export format to Spreadsheet (tabs).
Then, add an action to create the new file (New Text Edit Document).

How do I open make iBooks regognize two books created in iBA as different books/files? (iBooks opening separate books as the same file)

I am trying to load two different books created in iBooks Author into iBooks. These books were exported instead of uploaded to the iBookstore, therefore I download them and then open with iBooks on an iPad.
Here is my problem:
When I download a book (Book A), it opens in iBooks correctly. If I download a second book (Book B), instead of opening Book B, iBooks re-opens Book A. This also happens vice-versa if I delete Book A and then upload Book B. Essentially, both books cannot be loaded in iBooks at the same time, and iBooks treats the second download/open attempt as the second book being opened, when in actuality it opens the wrong book.
When I looked at the authoring files, I saw they had the same title listed in the Book Pane in iBA. Even when this title is changed, the books fail to open correctly in iBooks.
Has anyone run into a similar problem? Also, I am wondering if legacy meta data is a possible reason for iBooks to open the same book twice instead of loading and opening the new book? (if this is the case, is there a way that this legacy meta data can be deleted)?
Thanks in advance for your help/support.

Update: Solved.
Either creating a new file or saving the old as a template file & renaming it solved my problem.
Here is the discussion where I found that information:

How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.
