Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there and equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template?

Creating a template in Pages is straight-forward as answered here previously. Is there an equivalent for iBooks Author which can start with a blank page and build up the template as required? or can one only adapt a ready made template? This has proved unsatisfactory to me so far. Lines are left in etc.

There are two basic menus for fonts - one from the main menu bar and one from the toolbar. You can also bring up the font manage dialog.
I don't recommend trying to hard to force an otherwise foreign font, as it inevitably needs to be usable/supported on iOS as well, and that can get tricky w/3rd party fonts, as an example, even with the expanded font support in the latest iBA.
If you need to discuss fonts more, I suggest starting a new thread....preferably with a slightly more brief title, thanks.

Are there any apps like ibooks author for ipad or pc?

I know that ibooks author is only for mac but there must be some app like that for ipad or pc could anyone tell me please

Nope, there is not.

Is there any documentation for WebLogic domains?

I've been sucessful in the past in setting up a custom WebLogic 8 domain for OraBPEL 2.*. However, it appears that there has been considerable changes in the way the domain must be setup for OraBPEL 10. In fact it seems that not only do you have to load every possible jar in the OraBPEL installation into the server's classpath (generally considered a VERY ugly thing to do) but you also have to munge through some resource addapter's rar files to find more jars to put on the classpath. Surely this ugliness is due to some lack of understanding on my part, and surely a company like Oracle has documentation somewhere that might help someone like me out. I haven't been able to find it, so if I could get a pointer I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks,
Josh

Is there any documentation for Digital Editions?

I have several questions.
1) Is there any searchable local documentation for Digital Editions? The only thing I can find is at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/help/ and that is of no help because it is not available when there is no Internet connection and it cannot be searched.
2) Is there any way to enable a CUA compliant menu bar in Digital Editions? With no menus and no help I have been completely unable to figure out how to use the program.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Bentley beat me to it :)
The online help can be gotten at by hitting "F1" or selecting "Adobe Digital Editions Help" from the Library/Reading drop down menus.

Is there an update for iBooks Author 1.1?

Just checked in the iTunes store.. and they say iBooks Author 2.2 is available, but that I have 'downloaded' it already... but I check my version of the applicaton and it is only 1.1
What's THAT about??

If you looked on iTunes, you looked at iBooks (for iOS) which is at version 2.1.1.
iBooks Author (for OS X) is at v1.1 in the Mac App Store....long way to go before it hits 2.2

Is there a Paste in Place option for iBooks Author?

Is there a paste in place option for iBooks Author like there is in Adobe InDesign? Thanks.

InDesign's PIP means pasting at arbitrary coordinates.
Not sure what that has to do with iBA, sorry, which isn't strictly canvas based.
If you just want to clone items....that depends on the object. Best to experiment with your particular content, etc.

Is there any Documentation frame work for OAF development

hi
Is there any Documentation frame work for OAF development like AIM Documentation for RICE components ?
Hence , it is very clear that, MD50 and MD70 template is not for the OAF java development.
Is there any need to document the oaf development, hence it is using MVC architecture and all the components of the OAF development is very transparent.
thanks

You can extra sections if needed based on the customizations / extensions / personalizations.

Best workflow practices for iBooks Author re Enhanced Books?

Hi
I have already published one Enhanced iBook in iTunes (The Wandering Gorillas) about my research in Rwanda. I am now working on several others which will contain much more interactive media - photos and video.
I have vast amounts of unique photos and video - which would be useful for education purposes. So, 'where fools rush in...' I began to creat a new Enhanced iBook with lots of rich media.
However, I immediately started to have serious problems as the fille sizes grew very large - due to the many images and especially because iBooks Author creates versions etc. Thanks to solutions provided on another post by Pondini & Linc Davis these problems have now been resolved and I have regained my 'lost' 100 GB - which had been gobbled up into the folder DocumentREvisions and private/var - you can read their solutions here
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22800295#22800295
Now, I wish to avoid the same problems - and try to get the best possible workflow to use when creating Enhanced iBooks - which contain lots of rich media files such as photos and video.
And so I am asking advice form anyone who has created such iBooks using iBooks author - or who is an expert in the finer workings of this software.
First - Since Apple restrict the final iBook size to 2 Gb (and recommen smaller) I am considering creating my new iBook via separetly published chapters - so that each will be less than the max 2GB. Obvioulsy these will have to have some 'stand alone' usefulness!
But, is this a good practice? has anyone done this? Is there any way for the separate chapters to be later combined - by the user - in order to have a complete, coherent book?
Second, re image file sizes. For best quality on their new Retina Display iPads Apple suggest images of (No larger than ) 5000 x 5000. I used this - and it produced image file sizes of 20 -30 MB. I did some other trials - using images of 1024 x 1024 max - and on my iPad 2 (non Retina) my failing eyes could not see any difference? Their file size was reduced to 2- 300 KB
Would the difference be obvious on a Retina Display though? Should we use the largest possible resolution (and file size) - but this has serious implications for the eventual overall iBook file size.
What is the best compromise?
Third, I have an iMac with an i7 250 Gb Flash drive and a separate 1TB hard drive. All my 'media assets' are on the 1TB hard drive. The still images are exported from my various Aperture libraries - as jpegs of the size mentioned above (and into a newly created folder) . Same with video - to Apple's recommendations for video replay on iPads.
So far I have kept and used the actual iBook Author file - for the new book - on the desktop of my 250GB i7 Flash Drive.
But, as I reported in the other post, this soon caused me huge problems as my disk space was rapidly 'eaten up' by duplicate versions etc.
I am now considering using a separate, 1Tb Firewire External drive for the actual iBook Author file (with backup copies onto another 1TB drive) I am certain this will be slower than using my internal flash drive - but is this 'good practice?' Can it avoid the problems of all 'lost' storage space which caused me such hassles when using my flash drive? Or, will this be minimised if I create separate iBooks from separate chapters?
And, delete uneccessary versions of course!
I do feel that this is an emerging issue which many will face - as we incorporate more and more rich media into our iBooks.
Any help or suggestions are gratefull received!

Thunderstorm played havoc with box from my ISP - and I am ruuning on a reserve and internet access flaky!
but, here goes with one reply. Will have to wait later re tests for your other suggestions when weather calmed down
Re 'as Apple suggessted' I should have said - no larger than 5000 x 5000 pixels (the 3240 was my vertical proportional dimension from choosing 5000 horizintal dimension)
this is from Ibooks Author help
Add and edit photos and other images
You can add a photo or other image (in a supported file type) to a page in your book by dragging the photo from theMedia Browser, the Finder, or another application.
After adding a photo to your book and positioning it on the page, you can use the tools in iBooks Author to mask (crop) the photo; change its brightness, contrast, and other image qualities; or erase its background.
Important: When you export your book for distribution outside the iBookstore, images are automatically scaled to a width of 2048 pixels, which is optimized for iPad with Retina display. Readers can view these images on other iPad models, but the viewing experience might be slower. You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by using images no wider than 1024 pixels.
ShowMask (crop) a photo
ShowChange a photo’s brightness, contrast, and other settings
ShowRemove the background or unwanted elements from a photo
Important: Images can’t be larger than 25 megapixels (5000 x 5000 pixels) or 50 MB.

I need help with Compressor 4 settings to convert .mp4 files to .m4v for iBooks Author

I'm a curriculum design guy with no video background. I have Compressor 4, but don't really know much about how to best use it. I'd appreciate some help with getting the right setting for my project. Screen shots of settings would be much appreciated, since I don't know much video terminology.
I'm making an free iBook for students on WWII propaganda using old videos from the Internet archive.
I'd plan to use Compressor to:
1. Convert the .mp4 files to a .m4v that iBooks Author will accept. (I know I can use QT for that, but it increases file size)
2. Use Compressor to reduce file size so my iBook doesn't get too big
3. Get videos that look & sound the best, given the poor quality of the original source videos.
Here's some sample videos that I'll use:
http://www.archive.org/download/OutOfTheFryingPanIntoTheFiringLine/OutOfTheFryin gPanIntoTheFiringLine.mp
http://archive.org/download/AvengeDe1942/AvengeDe1942_edit.mp4
PS - I will also be editing some of the original videos in iMovie - if I use different settings to prep those videos for iBook Author, let me know.
Much thanks in advance for any help

Compressor is half the size compared to QtX encoding, 17 MBs...
File Format... H.264 for Apple Devices...

Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?

Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?
How exactly it picks up a specific data value during Hourly aggregations and Daily aggregations?As in How the value is chosen. Does it say averages out or simply picks value at the start of the hour/day or end of the hour/day ??

I'll try one more time. :)
Views in the operations console are derived from data in the operational database. This is always raw data, and typically does not go back more than 7 days.
Reports get data from the data warehouse. Unless you create a custom report that uses raw data, you will never see raw data in a report - Microsoft and probably all 3rd party vendors do not develop reports that fetch raw data.
Reports use aggregated data - hourly and daily. The data is aggregated by min, max, and avg sample for that particular aggregation. If it's hourly data, then you will see the min, max, and avg for that entire hour. Same goes for daily - you will see the
min, max, and avg data sample for that entire day.
And to try clarifying even more, the values you see plotted on the report are avg samples. If you drill into the performance detail report, then you can see the min, max, and avg samples, as well as standard deviation (which is calculated based on these
three values).
