Handling legacy PDF-format folios in Kindle viewer

I'm working with a client to publish a magazine on the Kindle Fire. The magazine, a bimonthly, has been available on the iPad for more than a year now. All of the folios that we have produced for the iPad are PDF format. (Which turned out to be a good decision, since they will display nicely on the new iPad.)
We will produce a 1024x600 rendition for the Kindle going forward. However, all of the legacy folios show up in the Kindle viewer library and are not readable. The reader displays an error when you try to open one of the old folios. ("This folio contains one or more PDF stacks which are not yet supported ...")
I would like to prevent some frustration for our readers here, but we do not have the budget or time to rebuild all of the legacy folios as 1024x600 documents.
The Kindle will adequately display 1024x768 PNG-based folios by adding bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Not ideal, but adequate. If we were to shave a few pixels -- say, 4 or 6 -- from the width of the legacy folios and rebuild them as PNG-based folios, would the difference be enough for the Kindle to recognize those as renditions and load them instead of the full-size folios? And would the iPad ignore the slightly narrower folios? That would allow us to address the problem without having to redesign a years' worth of magazines.
Thanks to Adobe and Amazon for working out the issues with the Kindle viewer. Looking foward to seeing our publications on both platforms soon.

If you set up renditions (same Folio Name, different Size values) between folios, it should work. Try shaving off one pixel and creating a 1024x767 folio and source documents. It definitely won't show up on the iPad (iPads viewers display 4:3 aspect ratio folios only), and if you set up renditions properly, the 1024x768 folio won't show up on Android.

  • Why is all my content rasterized when using PDF format folios?

    My folio is created using PDF default, as is the single smooth scrolling article it contains.
    the indesign file uses a large background image (PSD) and text created in layers over the top, as well as MSO containing text.
    The result in Adobe Content Viewer on ipad is completely rasterized? I dont see the point in having PDF (which allows pinch & Zoom), if the zoomed result is pixelated?
    anyone got any guidance or general tips about this? Can I control the resolution that rasterization produces somehow?
    thanks

    I believe all content within scrollable frames or MSO will get rasterized, and text with text-effects applied. (so if you have any drop-shadow or other effects on the text, all of the text will be rasterized)
    If you have the text by itself it shouldn't get rasterized tho, even if it is in a smooth scrolling article.
    I would recommend you to avoid putting the text in an MSO. Maybe you can have the text on a layer under, and have a MSO-state hiding it at first with something covering it?
    Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to send the Pdf format of WebI linking report through email?

    Hi All,
    I have created linking between 2 WebI reports through OpenDocument. I can schedule the parent report and send it to User Email as PDF format, But when the user click the link in parent report its not opening the PDF format of child report after passing the parameter from Parent report. It throws following error.
    Is it possible to send the linked reports(without breaking the functionality of passing the parameter to Child report) to user who don't have access to BO environment? Please help me out.
    User needs to get the Parent PDF report in email, once they click the link it should pass the parameter to child report and the corresponding child report should open in PDF format. (In Infoview "View Mode" i can able to achieve this, how about in Email?).
    Thanks and Regards,
    Tharini Prabhu

    So to achieve my requirement, according to my understanding I have to do the following steps.
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    1.     Without BO credentials the user can’t able to access the Link and child report created using OpenDoc.
    2. To overcome this I have to create one reserved userid through Admin and assign to all set of Users who will use the Reports.
    3. Have to use Single Sign on function through SDK to avoid the popping window for entering credentials right ?
    I can’t able to find the Sap Note 1326701 in http://www.sapossnotes.com/
    Could you please provide me the details how to implement that?

  • I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them?

    I have several manuals in PDF format. How do I download them into my iPad and view them? I downloaded a PDF viewer on my iPad and via itunes I can download the PDF to the iPad although for some reason the iPad comes up as 'RmoteTV' with a sub-directory of 'Books'. The 'PDFReader' app doesn't seem to find the file.

    You can use the free iBooks to read PDF files. Download the app, use itunes to transfer the data then open the PDFs.
    There are other pdf readers as well. I see good reader recommended and I'm sure there are more.

  • Is it possible to override the built-in PDF format handler with a custom IFilter for PDF?

    Hi,
    SharePoint 2013 comes with a built-in "format handler" for PDF now, so it can index PDF files out of the box. This is great for most users, as it now no longer is necessary to install a third-party IFilter for crawling PDF documents.
    My question is, is it possible to override the built-in format handler for PDF with a custom IFilter for PDF? I played with the Set-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormatState and Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat cmdlets. While it is possible to deactivate
    the built-in format handler, I was not able to remove it and to create a new one that activates a custom IFilter for PDF files.
    Background of the question: While the new built-in format handler for PDF will probably be sufficient for many SharePoint users, some need additional capabilities regarding indexing if PDF documents, e.g. extraction of custom metadata from PDF's document
    information dictionary and embedded XMP metadata. PDFlib GmbH, the company I work form, sells an IFilter for PDF, and of course we would like to continue to offer this for SharePoint 2013.
    Thanks
    Stephan

    You should be able to replace it with any ifilter you want, this is the procedure for installing it:
    Install PDF iFilter 9.0 (64 bit) from

    I'm wondering if there is any way to view the results of the form other than in a table?  Is it possible to print responses one by one in PDF format, or word, etc?  I'd like to create a form for proposal applications, and the spreadsheet format results are nearly unusable for this type of form.

    Hi Nalani500 ,
    Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
    1) Go to the response file
    2) Select the response you want to print
    3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.

  • Shipping legacy MSDS uploaded which are in pdf format

    Hi Friends,
    Do not get mislead by Questiom Here is the requirement.
    In our project, We have imported legacy MSDS in PDF format. For this we created a program to upload legacy MSDS in PDF format.
    The generation variants are of type "MSDS" and not "IBD_MSDS" type.
    So all imported PDF MSDS are visible in CG54 as released MSDS. So here is the requirement.
    Immediately after go-live there will be no MSDS generated in SAP EHS system by WWI server.
    So if I want to ship the MSDS which is stored in PDF format, how to achive this.
    Standard scenarion of shippping is working. but this issue we need to resolve. Kindly help if I need to do any configuration or Developement.
    Note:- I am getting error as "File not found".
    Thanks.
    WIth Warm Regards
    Mangesh Pande

    Dear Mangesh
    in regards of:
    I am able to ship reports which are generated through WWI with generation variant of report category "MSDS".
    Congratulation. One process is up and running. Now you need to "establish simply" a "similar" customizing in context of "IBD_MSDS". This is not easy. I know. BUt it is possible. But first, as I have tried to explain, you need to have a super perfect very good blueprint. (considering your current and future situation in which you may be would like to dispatch normal WWI reports)
    It is nearly  not possible to explain to you the "millions" of pitfalls in your situation (but you can prepare such a set up as your situation is quite common, normal and "standard"; especsially if you have the need to migrate data (but other options exists as well to do the job)). In most cases (according to my experience in your situation) you will need at least a project running for 6 months to establish a robust process to support both document types in the "same" disptach process.
    PDF format is a quite normal format for such "business scenarios" you have. The issues is youre "wording":
    "After go-live for some days there would not be generation of MSDS in CG54 as new versions of MSDS would not be generated in CG54." => this leads to the "interpretation" that at later point in time normal WWI reports might be used and this is the "trick" (if you really have a very very good picture about how SAP has designed the SDS dispatch process). => coming to the main point: you will use a lot of SAP EHS standard customizing but you must develop of lots of customer specific function moduls to get a solution

  • .folio pdf format

    Hi,
    I work with digital publications using the DPS and have some doubts regarding fonts:
    ))) To export my .folio files in PDF format, I need licensing for the fonts I work with. From what I understood, this happens because I actually install the fonts in the .folio and this requires further licensing for distribution. Which fonts can I use this way? Can it be any type or does it needs to be an Adobe type?
    ))) According to this document http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/pdfs/DPS_Approved_Fonts.pdf, usage of these Adobe types won't require further licensing to distribution through DPS. This means that any other font, either it is Adobe or not, must have further licensing, right? Which license should I require the designer/foundry to distribute it through DPS? How is it designated?
    ))) It is said I have the rights to distribute commercially any font in my CS font package. How do I know which fonts will be available for me after acquiring the CS6 through the Creative Cloud? Is there any list available?
    Thanks
    Pedro

    Take a look at this document: http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/legal/additional_licenses.html
    It has a list of all of the fonts that you are definitely allowed to embed in folios. Check the licensing pages of the foundries that you have purchased other fonts from. Some allow embedding, some don't. Take a look at their font embedding sections.

  • View xml in pdf format? - Please help-

    I have a webpage that has a link that directs customers to a pdf form I created with Adobe Designer 7.0 and when the customer is done filling out their information in the form and click's the submit email button. It comes to my inbox in an .xml! is there a way I can have it to where the file comes as a .pdf or can I jus convert the .xml into a word .doc or .pdf?
    -Thank You SOoo Much!-

    >In your opinion, why is it better to work with the .xml data instead of emailing the forms back and forth as a .pdf?
    1. XML is a standard format and many programs can read the data from
    XML. So if you work with XML it allows you more flexibility,
    especially to reprocess all the saved e-mails.
    2. The free Adobe Reader can't submit in PDF format unless the PDF
    file is specially prepared, on which there are contract limitations.
    3. PDF files will be much bigger than the XML, resulting in bigger
    e-mails.
    That said, e-mail it self is very limited, and not recommended for any
    serious use. Submitting forms to a web server is recommended, but does
    need a web programmer.

  • Infoview: Footer missing when viewed in PDF format

    Hi,
    Our setup is BO XI R2 SP4 FP4.10 on Windows 2003, two productive machines, running in two different sub-nets. Both servers have Adobe reader 8.1.2 installed.
    On the master server the reports display correctly when displayed and are saved in PDF format. We also have a 2nd Server running in a different sub-net with an exact copy of all reports, universes and Windows setup. Here we have some reports that are showing a strange behaviour. When displayed in PDF format, the footer is missing.
    I've just exported/imported (via a BIAR) a copy of one report and its associated universe but still get the same behaviour.
    Any ideas would be very welcome.
