Making an e book in Pages

Does anyone know how to fine turn an e book made with Pages ? I have been trying to produce an ebook but when the Pages document is converted - the page layout is often different. I have done them as PDF's and they do come out as written - but I would like to be able to do it as the epub format for use on the ipad.

We don't know much about iPad in this forum so we are not aware what might be happening. Have you posed the question in the iPad forum? There is a forum for iWork on iPad.

Acrobat 9 Pro, making edge of book scanning pages darker

Thank you for reading my post,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro with Windows Vista to scan a hardcover book. Since it is hardcover, it is hard to press enough to get a good scan on the end of the pages, so I get light letters that I would like to get darker. So far I have not found a way to do this inside of Acrobat, so at the moment I am extracting the troubled pages out of the document, use photoshop's burn tool over the light end areas, saving the page and adding it to the main document. Even though this works, it is extremely labor intensive. There have to be a better and easier way! Any ideas?
Book was scanned (not OCR) at 300 resolution with scanner CanoScan LiDE700F
I still have several pages to correct so your help would be greatly appreciated,
Jordan

Something to play with:
Acrobat provides "Edge shadow removal"
(the dark edge produced when what is scanned is not flush between platen and cover of scanner.
Try a setting of "Aggressive".
In Acrobat 8 - File > Create PDF > From Scanner
In the Acrobat Scan dialog, Document pane - click the Options button for 'Optimization'.
This brings up the dialog that contains settings for Filtering.
Alternatively, click Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
The associated dialog provides for user configuration of Filtering settings.
Similar approach for Acrobat 9.
However, for File > Create PDF > From Scanner click on "Configure Presets".
The Document > Optimize Scanned PDF for Acrobat 9 is similar to Acrobat 8.
Be well...

When making an iphoto book I double click to open a page and nothing happens

When making an iphoto book nothing happens when I double click to open a page to work on it.

Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book. But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book. For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order. Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album -- or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

Making a photographic book in landscape and portrait mode in iBooks author

Hello, I am making a photographic book with the iBooks author and I have a problem that I cannot resolve. The book is only with photos, without text and I am putting every photo on a whole page. I made around 15 pages in landscape orientation and now I want to make the same thing with the same photos in portrait, but I don't know how to arrange the photos to match when the ipad is flipped. The whole idea is that I want people to see different crops of the photos when they flip the iPad. I hope that you understood me and will eventually come up with solution... Really thanks!

Hi user_1,
If you are looking to reshape the graph based on whether the user has selected portrait or landscape mode, you could use a property node for your graph that executes in the same case as the print orientation, in which you reshape the graph using plotareasize or another property. I've attached an example of this.
Hope this helps!

Anyone Recommend a Reference Book for Pages?

Specifically, I'm interested in a reference book for the latest version of Pages--just downoaded it from the App Store--for creating books to be exported to epub and viewable in the iBook app. I'm a print book designer of 22 years' experience, so I don't really need a beginners book on Pages unless it really, really covers making book for export to epub.
Preferably something I can read on my iPad in either the iBook app, the Kindle app, or even as a PDF. (A public doman--free--book would be really nice at the moment.
Thank you.

HT201170 Force quit iPhoto while making a photo book

I had to force quit iPhoto while I was making a photo book. The photo book is still there but the photos I recently added (after laboriously scanning them in) are no longer viewable in the side bar with all the project photos. They are also gone from my iPhoto library. When I view each photo page individually the 'missing photos' are still on the pages yet when I view 'all pages' they are not there. Worried if I go to purchase, they won;t be on the pages at all.
Help?

There is a serious problem in the iBooks when loadin an Arabic book the page and the letters are very excellent but on turning the pages the pages will be different from the original book. It means that if you want to read the book the arrangement of

I have a problem with the application iBooks when I read an Arabic book the pages are misarranged in all the Arabic books. You can try it yourself just load an Arabic book and try to read it you will not find the pages the same like the original book you will have to turn many pages forward and back to get the true arrangement of the original book. This problem is not found in stanza or kobo inspite of the fact that the iBooks look is better

You will just have to use other apps for Arabic. You can ask Apple to fix this via

I think Apple's iBookstore does not yet really support Arabic books.

If within PageFlowController you can use corresponding backing context. However within jsp page, you need to use PresentationContext to get information about current book or page.

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

So you want to design a book without pages?

Don’t even try it my friend. At the end of the book production process, when you connect to iTunes Producer, you will encounter a file parsing program, just call him EPUB Robot, or E-Bot, if you like.
E-Bot wants to see books with pages and more than one chapter, otherwise he’ll return a nasty error message. And don’t even try to create your own sample book. That will not work either.
Don’t try to get creative with E-Bot, because he’ll break your iPad over his knee.
You might want to protest: “E-Bot, wait, we are publishing a poetry collection, or a series of watercolor reproductions, and all we need are sections or maybe blank pages (a reasonable request).”
E-Bot will frown on such novelties. “Where’s yur’ darn chapter?” he’ll spit out.
How about a book of calligrammes, E-Bot, or haïkus? Something without the gimmicky chapter pictures. Is that allowed? Just a nice book made up for 45 sections in a row, or 30 pages —clean, minimalistic, easy to use.
E-Bot: “That won’t fly either. I can’t make heads or tails of your book, but I want to see them chapters, or else!”
In conclusion, you might not need chapters in your book, because all books are different. But just be aware that E-Bot is waiting at the entrance of the iBooks Store with a mallet in his hand, waiting to parse through the books that he’s been programmed to parse through. He needs structure, and you need to give to him or he’ll break down.
And don’t try to get smart and upload your own creative sample book (made up of pages or sections). That will end under E-Bot’s iron fist.
Don’t try to be a poet, and don’t try to think out of the box, not until the next IBA update at least. Stuff your book with chapters, pictures, etc., and make the Bot happy.
Hope this helps someone trying to get creative with the file parser.
