I Don't Want A .pdf Preview

I have downloaded some of Stephen Hawking's lectures for a bit of light reading. These come in pdf files, which I can add to my iPod Touch.
However, when I view them in iBooks, a preview of the first page comes up as the front cover.
This looks ghastly, as it it just a white page with a lot of writing on it.
I have noticed though, that before these previews load up, I have a default front cover, showing the title and author of the book,
Is there any way of keeping this default front page as the front page of all my pdf's, instead of having a preview of the first page?

Then you rotate it and SAVE or SAVE AS and it will remain that way.

  • Don't want a PDF file with notification

    Hi
    We don't want a PDF file when we send out notifications. We want the notification with certain fonts and formatting that can go in standard email body.
    Has anyone had experience with that?

    Give me more details like tcode/program name for your notifications.
    Thanks,
    Kiran.

  • I created a PDF of my book in Preview and encrypted it. When opened in Adobe Reader, it is rotated to the vertical position rather than the original landscape position. How do I fix this in Preview? I don't want my buyers to have to hassle with rotating.

  • Documents saved in firefox format cannot be viewed in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed to another format. How do I change back?

    Documents in Firefox format do not open automatically in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed from the original format. How do I change them back and how do I keep this from happening again. I don't want to have to select a different format every time I try to open a document. That is a pain in the neck. I want to "click to open" and the document be in it's original format. If necessary I will go back to one of the other browsers I have used in the past. As I don't want multiple browsers on my computer it would be necessary to uninstall Firefox. I like it so far other than you all hijacking my documents and altering the way they open. You also might want to remember that even the "legitimate" folks on the internet are seen as predatory, i.e., gathering information, tricking us into installing crap we don't want or need, and in some cases, requiring a specific program to open a specific document. I'd be working very hard to show you are trustworthy. If you have a solution to this and it is complex then you will be wasting your time and my time trying to explain it. You guys created this so, if I'm going to use Firefox, you fix it on your end. FYI, if I have to uninstall Firefox I will, when asked, strongly recommend against using your service. Thank you.

    Do you mean PDF documents?
    The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
    You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that work for you?

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • Why Does Save As-PDF/A reduce file size when I don't want it to?

    I scanned a 4-paged printed card with my Epson Perfection 4490 scanner in order to digitally archive it. Each page is about 5x7 inches, and I scanned at 100 percent. I scanned each page as an individual TIFF image file, at 600 samples per inch.
    I brought each TIFF image file into Photoshop one at a time. I saved each TIFF as a JPEG, at Quality: 8, Baseline ("Standard").
    Then, I brought the JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a 4-paged PDF. Initially, the file size of the saved 4-paged PDF was 5 MB. (Later, I determined the individual JPEG's add up to 5.2 MB.) When saving as PDF/A, the final format that I want to use, the file size was unexpectedly reduced from 5 MB to 2.5 MB.
    What is the reason for the file size being reduced to 2.5 MB? I had already done the compression that I wanted in Photoshop. The PDF was not downsampled. I purposely did not use Optimizer.
    I did a test. This time, in Photoshop, I compressed each TIFF to JPEG, at Quality: 5, Baseline ("Standard"), the Medium setting instead of the High setting. After bringing these JPEG's into Adobe Acrobat Pro, the saved 4-paged PDF was 2.8 MB in size, an expected smaller size. Saving as PDF/A produced a file of 2.6 MB in size, very close to the same size this time, possibly indicating it accepting the Medium quality level.
    Apparently, saving as PDF/A reduces the quality level of JPEG's to Medium quality, when they are of higher quality to begin with. It seems to be designed to optimize even when I don't want it to.

    Here's the Audit Space Usage for the original 5 MB file. It shows the images taking up the majority of the space, as expected:

    In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
    After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
    Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
    (The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
    Please find the cause of it! Thank you!

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • I don't want them to go through all my pages...interactive pdf

    I want to create an interactive pdf, that is only "controllable" by clicking certain buttons on the pdf. I mean i don't want the viewer to simply go through all my pages by clicking the arrow keys on the keyboard (etc...) To make things clear, i have a front page that's like a menu, from which the viewer has to decide every time what subject he wants to see. So the viewer clicks the right button and the correct page show up. next, they return to the front page by clicking the 'return to the front page' button. Now the user can select another topic he wants to view, and so on....I don't want the user to go through all my pages by simple clicking or pressing the arrow keys. I want them to interact with my pdf, the way i made it . Can something like this be done in Indesign? I've searched a lot but wasn't able to find the information a needed. I hope you guys understand my problem and that someone knows the solution.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Preview Pane:  I don't want e-mail marked "Read"

    I love preview pane in Mail, but don't want it to automatically mark my e-mail as "read". Any way to do this?

    No. If you look at the contents of a message, it's automatically marked as read, and there is nothing you can do about it other than manually marking it as unread.

    Your internal HD should really only be used for OS and Programs.
    This question will be moved to the hardware forum soon enough but, you should consider getting an external HD to work from, preferably USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt... but that won't save you depending on the type of media you're using and the amount of effects you use.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
