How to export book in CMYK?

I'm trying to print a book from Aperture to a PDF using the ICC profile for the printing company. This profile is naturally CMYK. In the print dialogue box, simply selecting their profile and clicking "PDF" with our B&W laser printer gives a mess. Do I need to set up some sort of dummy CMYK printer? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi jackkistens,
Try the below js code.
Note: you can change your preset name in below (e.g, Your preset name).
var myBook = app.activeBook;
myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "Your preset name", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);
example:
var myBook = app.activeBook;
myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "[High Quality Print]", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);
thx,

How to export iBooks to other devices

Can someone tell me how to export books from my iTunes account to my hard drive? I'm wanting to put them in various devices including my laptop, but unsure how. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Books purchased from the iBookstore cannot be read on anything other than an iOS device, as it says on every purchase page in the Requirements section (at least until OS 10.9 is released). So there is not much point in exporting them to your laptop.

Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

Once an iBook has been exported to the iPad, how can that book be moved to a different iPad or back to iBooks Author?

You can't simply move it directly between iPads.
In your example, you'd find that .ibook file in your iTunes account on your computer and then email or sync it to the school's iPad. Similar to how you did with yours....maybe you got it off a server and can repeat that process.
Then delete it off your iPad and either delete or flag your copy in iTunes to not be put back when you sync in the future.

Printer Requested Exporting Document in CMYK, with one other color so he could color correct to his printers. How do I do this?

I have a client that was originally going with a metallic Pantone color and last minute decided to change their mind to cut costs. So after talking to the printer (because the conversion color is way off) he requested that I export the document in 5 color processing. He wants CMYK + the color that would originally have been the metallic pantone so he can go in and grab that one color and color correct as needed on his printer. Can someone please let me know how I export CMYK + one color which will also be in CMYK.
Thanks!

Incase anyone comes across this same issue, you can create a new swatch as a "Spot Color" even though it is CMYK and it will export as CMYK + 1 other color. Hope this helps anyone else who comes across it.

How to Export from Numbers 09 to Address Book or print mailing labels?

I need to know how to export contact information that is part of a Numbers sheet to Address Book and to be able to print mailing labels. I do not have to print from Address Book but do need to produce address labels. I've tried a number of things from the help menus in Numbers 09, Address Book, Word and Excel for MAC 2011. I probably just don't have a grasp fo what I'm supposed to do. Thanks much!

nushuz,
I can sympathize if you're having trouble following the directions. Address Book will reject what looks like a perfectly good CSV file if it doesn't like the data it finds inside.
Here's what I have found to be the best way to create a CSV from Numbers for Address Book import...
Drag an Address Book contact to a Blank Sheet in Numbers. That's a Sheet in which you have deleted the default table.
This will give you a properly formatted table for conversion to CSV, and you just have to add all your contact data to the table you just created. Before you begin though, it's a good idea to Unhide all Hidden Columns, and there are probably many. Hover over any Column Label and click the menu triangle, selecting "Unhide All Columns", or words to that effect.
After you have all your data situated in the table, Share > Export > CSV and then Import to Address Book.

Export PNG in CMYK vs. RGB. Changing colors.

Short version: Using Illustrator CC. I correctly exported a PNG logo in RGB (sent to client), but the new PNG logo looks much different than the old PNG logo that was exported incorrectly in CMYK (sent to client long ago).
Client wants to know why the NEW PNG logo looks so different than the EPS logo and the OLD PNG logo (all starting with the same Pantone color).
Longer version:
I recently sent logos to my client in different formats.
ai, eps, eps CMYK, pdf, and png
Prior to creating the PNG version in Illustrator CC,
I changed Illustrator's color mode to RGB, then converted my Pantone colors to RGB (specific values per the Pantone book), then exported as PNG.
This created a much different blue than the CMYK eps version.
Someone else on the client side is working with my files and questioning why the blues look so different. The Pantone eps vs. the RGB version.
Problem:
In the past, the PNGs had been created incorrectly--They had been exported in CMYK mode without converting anything to RGB and they matched much closer to the EPS version.
Now they are asking why there is such a big difference.
I did the process correctly, I'm not sure how to answer this. Why do they look so different?

So if I just leave the Document Color Mode as CMYK, leaving with the logo set in it's specific Pantone colors, and then Export/PNG, that will covert my CMYK colors to RGB for me. Seems almost too easy. Just go File/Export/PNG, but okay.
And while that may give me a better perceptual match, here's the other side of the issue.
They've given me and their web company specific RGB values for their logo. These are based on the Pantone book, and likely different than the conversion Illustrator will do.
The idea being, they want the website and logo to be the exact same blue. And they are based on the values they gave, but they look different than the original Pantone. Brighter and more vibrant. I'm dealing with another member of the client team, trying to use Illustrator on her end for smaller tasks, and she wants to know why the rgb PNG logo (which I entered in manual values for based on the Pantone book), is so different than the Pantone eps file. In the past, when I just exported as a straight PNG without tinkering, the perceptual match was there. Now it isn't. How can I explain this?

Cannot find how to export from Pages to ePub

I have Pages '09, and looked on Apple's tutorials for how to export as an ePub file... It says just click share, export, ePub, but I do not have an ePub option. My only options are PDF, Word, RTF, and Plain Text. Am I missing something very obvious?

It's interesting that 'they' have decided to NOT let folks on 10.4 produce an ePub (from Pages). I understand that I cannot 'do' the whole ePub consumer side on this machine but I was hoping to get a bit of a headstart while on the road. (The mini at home base is running 10.6 and is my ePub production environment. That version of iWork9 does have the later Pages, which is why I was surprised when I could not find the same UI on my 'travel' machine.)
As to why I don't upgrade the G4? I need one machine that can run Classic. So it will live at 10.4.11 for the rest of its life.
I have my fingers crossed that today's announcement will include a suitable Macbook Air update ... one that is not too wide and/or too high. (The 13" 'books have been too large a footprint to replace my trusty 12" so I've been holding out...)
