If you look at the 'Save as Template' dialog, you'll see the path to 'My Templates'.
In the Finder, use the 'Go' menu to open that folder, then drop them inside it.

  • How Do I Create a New Template for iBooks Author?

    Apple's provided templates are way too narrow for some of the ideas I want to implement. I do not see any real method for creating a template from scratch. I stripped one of the available templates down to nothing and rebuilt some of the pages and then selected Save As Template... but iBooks Author keeps the original template as the content instead of allowing me to use my own created Chapter, Section, and Pages with the Add Pages.. Button.
    How to you create a new template from scratch? I think it is absurd if you can only create a new template from one of the 6 predefined templates.

    Be careful on unlocking and deleting stuff, cause this very easily can destroy the layout and your current arrangement
    About dimensions, If i am not mistaken, i read on another thread that this cannot be happen.

  • Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook?

    Is there a way to reorder or introduce new pages in iBooks Author, without creating a new IBook? Is this possible?

    The main thing is...you have a way to move forward with your project.
    If I may offer some tips, learn to customise the template to suit your project...its basically very easy..once you try.Again a search will bring up posts that address this topic.
    IF you do create your own template..save it as a template before using it, that way you have a clean version every time.
    When putting your book together save versions as you go along..later you can delete them.
    If, as .. you seem to have found, you need to change things or want to try other options, you can copy whole chapters or sections and paste in a new order or  into another version of your template. If you copy into a different template or book, the template basic also transfer to the template. Best way to discover what can be done is simply open a new book to play with! Add a few chapters and sections...include some pages..and just drag things around, copy and paste where you choose. Its just learning and after you delete the junk!..BTW, yes, you can have single pages before the first chapter...i.e. I open a copyright page into a chapter...that drag it to the top of the book tree, a blue line will appear ..drop it.
    If you need any help or advice, its available in abundance on this forum.  Have fun...

  • 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 do I import templates in iBooks Author?

    The folder /Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates does not exist.
    Even if I make it, it doesn't work.
    Thanks
    Bas

    Same problem
    If I Click the Finder icon in the Dock and choose Go > Go to Folder and enter: ~/Library/Application Support/iBooks Author/Templates/My Templates/
    I can see a new template listed there, but it does not show when I go to iBA:File:New from Template Chooser.
    Here's hoping they sort it out soon!

  • How do I move a page to a new location within iBooks Author?

    I've just started to play around with iBook Author, and I can't seem to discover how I can do something as basic as move a page to a new location within the chapter, or outside the chapter for that matter.  It won't allow me to drag and drop it, and there is no menu selection for it.  I also would like to be able to insert a new page at the current cursor location, and that doesn't work either.
    Has anyone had any luck doing either of these tasks?

    You can't. You can move entire chapters or sections but can't move individual pages because of the reflow capability. It is mentioned in the help and the FAQ I believe.

  • Difficulty importing Pages document into iBooks Author

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong--but when I insert a Pages document (made up of 16 pages of images), iBooks Author collapses the 16 pages of images into a single page, adding the additional pages as blank pages. Same thing happens when I insert the file as an MS Word file.
    Shouldn't it be easy to insert a Pages into iBooks Author?
    Ideas?
    Thanks...
    sc

    Should be....but....there is no simple lever to pull that amounts to a fitz-all recipe.
    Experiment with different iBA templates using copy/paste from your source.

  • Can't Save as Template in iBooks Author 2.1.2

    I've only just now tried to save as template in this version. This is what it used to do:
    Replace the .iba extension with .ibatemplate.
    Change to the iBooks Author Templates folder so that you can save there.
    Now it doesn't do either of these. When you select File > Save as Template..., it presents the folder where the .iba file has been saved and does not change the extension.
    Manually changing the extension and putting it in the templates folder gives it a generic Pages document icon in the Template Chooser. However, it can be opened as a template through this dialog. The title of the document is Untitled, just like it would be if a template were chosen.
    Has anyone else seen this?
    I have lodged a bug.

    Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
    Interesting suggestions from both of you.
    Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
    Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0.  Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
    Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
    I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
    Cheers,
    Gay

  • New book on iBooks Author now in store

    Maria Langer's long awaited second book on iBooks Author is now in the store. It was created using iBooks Author and includes 3 hours of screencast video instruction.

    The book needs to have page turning features, links between pages, complex sub-sections and an icon on the home screen.
    I do this quite easily!!!!  BUT not using Apple software.
    Is  your client looking for a sales tool on iPads or a brochure/catalogue  for customers to use on their computers?
    I create .exe file with and without flip page and doing what you want.. only for PC / Windows.
    These are usless on Macs unless the user is prepared to buy an app to use .exe files.
    You do not mention if your client is on PC or Macs and the other issue is.. whatever they use...  their sales contacts  will (collectively) be using both OS and you need to cater for that.
    I use  two PC applications depending on what is wanted by the client. ( one is flip page  'tother is not)
    My client will use a mix of Keynote presentations and product video wrapped in iBooks on iPads as a sales tool.
    They have their products in a downloadable.exe format and also PDF- which is not interactive.
    Although I am  looking for an app that can do it better.
    Fact is, there are applications that do what you and I want but none work on both OS - at least that I can find.
    Take into consideration  sales persons "on the road" are using laptops and iPads for presentations and more are adopting  iPads.

Maybe you are looking for
