Open a gif file in ibook

Hi everybody,
Could someone please help me understand how I can open a gif file in an iBook downloaded from Ibooks?
For example, in "history of the art of photography" free downloaded from IBooks, at page 26 there is a gif file as "Fig.2" that I can't open simply by touching it.l
Do I maybe need any more software to read a gif file?
Thanks in avance.

Or maybe the image isn't there and all you have in that case is a placeholder with the name of the image file...

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

CS4 - Getting error when opening a .gif file - file-format module cannot parse the file.

I am getting this popup error when trying to open a .gif file:
"Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file."
This comes up every time I try to open a .gif file. Even if I make a .gif file (like the image included in this post), save it and then try to open it again, I get the same error. I tried reinstalling CS4, but the error is still there. I have also done the reset on start-up and nothing. Some have suggested that I open it in (Windows XP Pro) MS Paint and then save it again. Did it and this does NOT work for me, either.
I know it's a Photoshop problem because I can see this file everywhere, except Photoshop. It will open here, there and everywhere, except for Photoshop.
I've searched the Adobe Commmunity and it looks like no one has come up with a fix for this. I'm just currious after 5 years with this problem, has there been a solution?

It takes three tries to successfully open a PDF file in iBooks.

     This is regarding ipad2.
     When I click on "open in iBooks," the bookshelf opens up and right upper circular icon spins as if it's about to open file, but the it stops and reverts back to edit button without anything else happening. So I try a second time on the "open in iBooks" from the PDF page, and this time, the icon of the PDF file appears on the bookshelf but then disappears a few seconds after that. If I happen to click on the icon before the icon disappears, the PDF will open but then will also disappear same few seconds later and then iPad goes back to home page or it opens up the "books" bookshelf. So third times a charm--clicking on "open in iBooks" the third time will finally open up PDF file in iBooks and incorporate it into the library.
     Not sure if this is due (1) to size of my library--some 600+ PDFs, (2) recently upgraded to iBooks 2.1--can't remember if this started before or after. I also just upgraded to iOS 5.1 yesterday hoping and thinking this would resolve the issue but it hasn't. Anyone with any suggestions?

Hi Alan,
Sorry for the late response. i was busy with other work.
Through InputStream i can get the Remote remote resource by establishing the HttpURLConnection with the cookie information(that's how it can get credentials). But i don't know how to view the file using PDF_Renderer.
when i use the below code, it is working fine(i used PdfReader to read the InputStream ) but Sample.pdf is creating on the desktop of the system beacause of FileOutputStream which used as a parameter of PdfStamper.
// create a stamper that will copy the document to a new file named Sample.pdf
PdfStamper stamp = new PdfStamper(reader,
     new FileOutputStream("Sample.pdf"));
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+"Sample.pdf");
Please provide me some solution through PDF_Renderer. i checked the api, i didn't get any idea.
Thanks.

Why can't I open new PDF files into iBooks

I cannot open new PDF files in iBooks, they flash really quick in PDF folder then disappear. I'm really frustrated

I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1. After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window. Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window. What next steps should I take? Thanks.

Opening a .gif file.

Is there an app out there that I need in order to open a .gif file?

Naah-uh!
Preview very often refuses to open .gif files for me. I wish someone would tell me what I can use to open those .gif files that give me the "can't open this file type" error message?
Can someone please help out here?
Thanks!

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work.

CS5 Suddenly Stops Saving and Opening PNG & GIF Files

CS5, windoze 7, 64 bit.
Inexplicably, CS5 just stops working with PNG & GIF format files.
Fine, this morning; but not after lunch! Indigestion?
Bridge says it's missing a/the java plug-in. Huh? Java is up to
date at OS level.
Very puzzling. Anyone got a fix for this?

Kind of you to reply and offer assistance - thanks.
First, I'm inquiring for my wife. I.e. I'm not the user. She's not all that comfortable with using Forums.
I use Photo Impact - now part of Corel, as I understand it.
She says she can't open or save those formats, as she used to be able to. But she can open PNGs
in Illustrator.
The bridge error message is generated on clicking bridge, when no other task is running:
Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended
Could not complete your request because
Photoshop was unable to find the javascript
plug-in.
The mini bridge also gives an error message when clicked on, with no other task is running:
Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended
Cannot complete command because the
extension could not be loaded.
She reports that a lot of Save As options have disappeared. If this was Photoimpact, I'd be
checking the FIO folder for the necessary fio files, but I don't know how PS manages the
way in which various file formats become interchangeable for saving/opening. What that
has to do with bridge, I know not. I don't know the first thing about PS.
That said, chronologically, the problem seems to have occurred after the installation of
a number of pre-sets. That makes me suspicious of them. Or rather, the installation
process that they involved. But I don't know for sure, nor do I know how that installation
of presets process might be reversed, to check if that caused the problem. (see below)
Oh, she has executed an update, but that didn't fix the problem either.
If there's no easy way to achieve a remedy to the problem, I'm contemplating doing a system
restore. She's presently moving (backing-up) those pre-sets before any roll-back is attempted.

PSE7 crashes when I open two gif files. Any ideas?

Hi,
I've just installed PSE7. Works fine with one image open. However when I open a second image (gif or jpg) it crashes. Every time. Even if all I do is open one image then immediately open the second, it crashes. I've tried different images and accessing them on a different disk, but repeatedly, reproducibly I can crash the application by opening a second image file.
Since this doesn't happen on my home machine (where I have a second licensed copy) I can only assume there's some problem in the configuration on my work system: Windows XP Pro SP3 plus latest updates, Intel Core2 Quad CPU 2.4GHz, 3.25Gb memory. eSet antivirus.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You may need to change your default printer. To quickly diagnose that, try solution 3 of this tech note:

If that's the problem, then solutions 1 and 2 may apply.

Problems opening ePub.zip files in iBooks?

I write book reviews and recently the publisher I work for has stopped sending press copies and only sends eBook copies in the form of ePub.zip files. They claim the files will work on Nook e-readers and "most other available e-readers". The problem is that I can't get these to open in iBooks. When I tap on the ePub attachment in my email I'm given the option to "Open in iBooks" as well as Dropbox, Evernote and a few others. When I choose iBooks I can see the cover art for the book in iBooks (marked NEW) but it refuses to actually open.. when I tap on the icon it darkens but does nothing else. What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? Dropbox and evernote both say the file cannot be displayed... do I need to do some sort of conversion to the file to open it?? HELP I only have 30 days to read and review each book and I've got TWO of them on deck!!

If it's zipped (e.g. compressed) it would have to be unzipped first. Don't know if there is an unzipping utility available for iOS. Search the App Store. If there is not, you'd need to unzip them on a computer, then transfer them to your iPad.

I cannot open iTunes U files in iBooks.

Whenever I click an ePub file, which is supposed to be read in iBooks, in iTunes U, iBooks emerges, shows nothing and automatically closes. Could anyone tell me what is going on?

Howdy bluewinters,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
A few more things to try for an app that is having problems.
Restart your device
Turn your device off and back on.
Check for iOS and app updates
Make sure that you're using latest version of iOS.
Open the App Store and tap Updates.
If updates are available, tap Update All.
If asked, enter your Apple ID password.
You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
Install another app from the App Store
Try installing a different app that you don't have on your device. Find a free app from the App Store, and remember to use the same Apple ID that you used to download the app that you're having issues with.
Delete and reinstall the app
Tap and hold the app until it jiggles.
Tap the X on the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
This is one of those you can delete and reinstall.
Regards,
Nubz

I AM TRYING TO PUT A PDF FILE IN IBOOKS, WHEN OPEN IT IN EMAIL NO OPTION TO OPEN IN IBOOKS. CAN SOMEONE HELP?

I am trying to open a PDF file in Ibooks. When I send it to myself via email and go to open on the Ipad I don't get the option to open in Ibooks. How do I fix that?

Hi johnc,
I'm sorry to hear that your file didn't convert well for you. Can you please tell me more about the PDF that you're trying to convert? Do you know how it was created? The quality of a conversion depends on the quality of the PDF, and it sounds like the file you have may not include the tagging information that is required to convert that properly into an Excel file. Would you be willing to share that file with me? If so, let me know and I'll send you a private message with my contact details.
Best,
Sara

Can't open pdf file with iBook in mac

It's great to see iBook in mavericks, but everytime i tried to open pdf in ibook, it always open in preview instead even its ibook shelf already, is there anyone out there having the same issue?

w7ox wrote:
I disagree. I just used this approach
"Preview is the default app for viewing PDF.
Do you want al your PDF's to open in iBooks?
Right click any PDF -> get info -> under "open with" select iBooks"
to open a pdf file with iBooks in OS X 10.9 so I know it can be done.
Phil
So tell me, when any of this PDF files is open, what app button is just next to Apple logo ? I did it your way and i still can see Preview, not iBooks.
Like i said. You can store your PDF files in iBooks, just right next to the books which you have purchased from iBooks store. iBooks app can by used to manage your pdf files like iphoto is used to manage your photos. BUT to read this PDF OS X 10.9 will use Preview by default (unless you have other PDF Viewer set to open pdf by default).

Gif file in pse 6.

I have 3 .gif files that I cannot open in pse 6. I'm getting the following message: "could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." Any suggestions?

Can you open the .gif files with something else? Windows should be able to open them if
you double click (unless PSE has stolen the suffix). If this still tries to use PSE to open,
do "rightClick | openWith | Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" or "Paint" or if all else fails
use Start | Run to run "paint", then do File | Open and select a gif.
If this works then there would appear to be some kind of issue with PSE and you might
use the program that opened it to re-save it as a jpeg for example, or even as another .gif.
If these programs cannot open it either, you have a bad .gif
