Is there any way to embed the pdf file in the book created in iBooks Author to make it available to be downloaded or sent to email? So that the user can print it out.

I'm making the book for children and there is one chapter providing coloring pages. So I wish to attach pdf files that allow users to download it at the end of chapter so that they can print it out. Been searching through discussion, I've found some advice about taking screen snapshot page-by-page > then send the pics from photo album to email. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that make the process easier.

Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

HT5071 Can I create a book using the IBooks Author word processing software, save it as a PDF, then have it professionally printed by an offset press to sale in brick and mortar stores? If so, is this procedure free me from any IBooks restrictions?

It's your content, under your control.
If you output as an .ibooks file, and you want to sell it, the store is the only outlet, otherwise, you can do as you wish.

HT5071 Can I publish a book made in ibooks to newsstand?

I am looking to publish some content to Newsstand.
I have been looking for software to help me and I have come across the ibooks app.
Will this app allow me to publish to Newsstand?

Yes, all this:

I think there are 3rd party companies that will do it for you, which you can probably find via google.

How can I apply a new style with a snippet and make DW remove artifacts of the old style?

Hello,
I am using Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows XP SP3. My problem seems simple but the resolution remains elusive.
Let's say I am editing pasted-in text from MS Word that DW has auto-formatted. I highlight some text and use a snippet to enclose the text in h2.
Instead of deleting the former style and replacing it with h2, DW applies the h2, but copies the old style, enclosing nothing, and bumps it to the next line. If the old style included a paragraph tag, that throws in extra white space. For nothing at all.
Now, this seems like a minor thing, but it's not so minor when you are trying to quickly prepare a large document with various header styles. Having to make dozens of edits that I think should be completely unnecessary becomes a real burden.
Is there a way to enclose a bit of text in a new style with a snippet without having the old style stick around?
Thanks for any and all replies!
Michael Salmons

Maybe auto-format is not the correct terminology, but DW does interpret MS Word formatting in some way,and in a way I cannot control (well, I can to a limited degree). The term that popped into my head describing this process was automatic formatting.
I don't really want to paste in as text, then I have to touch everything. I mean, I do frequently end up touching everything in a document anyway, but if any decisions can be "automated," I like to at least give it a try.
DW makes mostly good guesses* about Word formatting (*or whatever mechanism translates word formatting to html in DW). Even if it is just a little wrong, it saves me a lot of time. <p><strong> can be converted to <h2> faster than text that only has a CRLF to distinguish it from surrounding text.
I'm not mixing any styles. I control the style absolutely. I would just like to know how to use snippets in a way that truly replaces the Word-suggested tags rather than preserving them for no good reason. Perhaps there is no way to do that, or I so fundamentally misunderstand snippets I am fooling myself.

Can i print a book made on ibooks author

Hi, am just starting out with Ibooks author and wanted to know if you can make printed copies of a book you write? there are times in my line of work where workers will not have acess to a computer or an Ipad. second question some our guys use a galaxy note is there anyway these guys will beable to use the book? say in a PDF

Yes, you can export or print as PDF and have that printed out if you like - of course any interactivity will be negated.

Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

No, sorry.
iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal.

Producing short history lessons with iBooks author?

For years I have produced history lessons and provided them as free PDFs on my website. I'd like to offer short history lessons (with primary historic documents and images) via iBooks in iTunes U. I expect them to run only 10-12 pages.
Is there any minimum length for iBook content?
Has anyone seen any shorter iBook content made with iBook Author offered?
I can't seem to find any examples in iTunes U or in iBooks.

Hank Feng's "Earth and Moon" and the new Biosphere book are very short but will serve you well as examples. I am working on 2 page teaching models for the UN's Girl Education in Conflict-Zone program so its not about quantitiy but "quality" as we instructional design professor always tell our students.

MapBuilder Error:Can not find a GeoRaster object with specified rdt and rid

I can't GeoRaster data in the preview of the MapBuilder and MapViewer. The GeoRasterViewer shows the Raster images without problems.

The errror message of MapViewer is nearly the same with some more informations about the spatial query and the coordintes of the query window. If I run that spatial query in the sqldeveloper it returns a result!
I did following stebs:
- saved a tiff-Image in a GeoRaster table with pyramid an tiled images.
- checked the sdo_geom_metadata --> they are correct
- checked the sdo_georaster object for the rdt table name and rasterid --> they are correct
- checked the rdt table --> objects with that rid are saved
- checked the mdsys.sdo_geor_sysdata table --> entry is correct
- validate the geraster with the sdo_geor.validategeoraster function --> object is valid
- updated the spatial extend of the image and try again the preview functio--> the same error
The databse server is a virtual Linux server with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit.
The web server is a Window 2003 R2 Server with a weblogic server and mapviewer patch 5 (Ver1033p5_B081010).
For a test I did the same (the same table script, the same raster data, the same import method) on a developer pc (WinXP Pro SP2) with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 (32bit) the same mapbuilder version but with the MapViewer QuickStartKid and it works fine!!!
Has anyone an idea?

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

Can I sell books made with iBooks Author in the UK iTunes store?

Hi all,
I'm a UK-based musician who publishes a range of tuition books on playing the bass guitar. I've spent the last few months devleoping one of these books in iBooks Author, and the end results are really impressive. I submitted the book to the iTunes store last week (after setting up a US Tax ID etc) and it was approved in the US store yesterday. Here's a link to the relevant page:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/bass-players-guide-to-scales/id534940432?mt=13
My question is, is there any way I can make this book available to customers in all countries? I filled in all the info/pricing etc for all countries when I uploaded the book, but it's only approved for sale in the United States so far. Is there just a delay in the other stores being approved or can it only be the US for textbooks? I notice that the UK iTunes store does not have a textbooks category. Am getting worried now that I shouldn't have put it in the Textbooks category, although I don't remember being able to choose another option.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Stuart

It is possible to publish books created in iBooks Author outside of the US. They will just not be able to appear in the Textbooks category as it's currently a US only category.
I can see in the UK store that you've got two editions of the same book for sale. One has screen grabs and is clearly filled with iBA features for £9.99 and the other at £6.49 with no preview images which I assume is in standard ePub format - both are in the Arts & Entertainment -> Music category.
Congrats!

I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work.

I can't get the middle handles on iBooks Author pop-over widgets to work. Dragging the middle handles should resize the pop-over widget size either vertically or horizontally, but instead they resize the pop-over widget in all directions, as if I'd used the corner handles. I'm talking only about the widget image with the mountains on it, not its contents. I should be able to make a long, thin pop-over, for example. iMac running Mavericks.

Working with ibooks Author

Hey guys. I've recently been doing some work with ibooks Author. I'm not sure if this is the subreddit to post my question to, so sorry if its not. My question is: How do you string a video across multiple pages within the document. I'm trying not to bloat my file size with extra videos if there is away to run one in the background. Thanks!

Page by page is it - no backgrounding as you require.
When a user navigates to another page, assets such as your example are then ignored for, and replaced by, assets on the next.
See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books. Note too that iBA will optimize video assets.
If your content is such that you risk exceeding the 2GB limit, consider publishing a series of editions, instead.

HT5071 Can I publish my work produced with iBooks Author and make it available (free of charge) for my students only?
