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.

  • 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.

  • I am new to epublishing but I wrote a book using ibooks Author.  I am now wanting to publish but I keep hitting stumbling blocks like--it asks if I have epub rights?  Do I?? Do I need to purchase them or are they implied if you are the author?

    If you are the author of the content, then you already have all the rights.   Of course if your book contains photos or other things created by other authors, you may need to acquire the rights to use those in your book.

  • IBooks Author. I am not allowed to sign in with my Apple ID on iTunes Connect when I am trying to publish my book in iBooks Author. I do not understand why because I have fulfilled the first steps creating an account and informed my IRS tax number...

    I am not allowed to sign in with my Apple ID on iTunes Connect when I am trying to publish my book in iBooks Author. I do not understand why because I have fulfilled the first steps creating an account and informed my IRS tax number...

    The recommendation is always to make another ID for use with a paid books account. And while I can't swear this is at the root of your issue, you should in any case reach out to Apple for assistance on this one, I think.

  • I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

    Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
    I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
    I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
    In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
    But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
    Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
    I don't want to disable portrait mode.
    Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

  • Hello I wrote a technical french book on " iBooks Author" and I would like to Know witch catégorie I should choose?

    hello I wrote a technical french book on " iBooks Author" and I would like to Know witch catégorie I should choose?

    Sorry,  I  cannot remember all teh  many options of category and sub categories offered during the delivery process.
    A very simple solution for you is to use Google Translate to convert the category  titles  to French
    Another option is  to  use the iBooks store -  search for books made with iBooks Author  open a few preview / sample books to look at the information page and check which categories are used the most... and use the same!

  • 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...

  • How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

    How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

    Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

  • Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Does anyone know how to add a preface page at the beginning of the book in ibooks author once the book is written? No matter how I try to add a Preface page, it goes to the end of the book.

    Thanks. I've tried this and apparently the template I'm using is one of those where it doesn't work. I've tried dragging it as well as cutting a pasting but it always travels back to the end of the book. Maybe I can try changing the template temporarily, move the preface page, and then convert back to the original template. I'll experiment a little.

  • Family history/genealogy book by Ibooks Author

    Hello,
    At the moment I got a Family history/genealogy book in hardcopy (2003) it's 11 years old.
    In these eleven years a lot of events happend. To get an updated family book I want to use Ibooks Author to create a digital version so you can added information to your book anytime.
    I allready got all the current information till 2003 in a spreadsheet
    I would like to know if there is a template/format to create digital family history book with Ibooks Author.
    Specially for all the links between all the family members so they are clickable.
    Thanks in advance.
    Greetings,

    You can also contact Bookry or ibooks-widgets.com  and  other similar online outlets who are possible able to create a template to your specifications.
    You could  aalso take time to learn  how to  modify existing template to  suits your purpose.
    Specially for all the links between all the family members so they are clickable.
    iBooks Author as an "Insert Hyperlink"  function which covers, website, email, Book marks and  Figures.
    Portrait mode free templates may not be suitable.. but Landscape templates will only allow a short  "tree" unless you  use smaller print or sectionalise the  families lines.

  • How do I change size of book in IBOOKS AUTHOR?

    i need to change the size and style of my book in ibooks author, such as a coupon format, is that possible? If so How?

    Hello Felina,
    As far as I am aware there is no way to change the document sizes.
    There are just the two document sizes available, they are landscape and portrait.
    I look forward to seeing if there is a way of changing an iBooks document size.
    Have you looked at creating a standard e-Pub book instead this format may allow you to create the document shape and size you are thinking about.
    Regards,
    Nigel
