Options: Pages, ebook pdf, not converable

I used Pages to make a pdf book, hosted online for sale. It has around 100 photos that I used shadows, frames and 'floating' & locked ('grouped' some text discription text and 'locked') .
I'm wanting to make it into an epub to sell in iBookstore. Most likely, won't convert, because of the format varitions, I found out. But can I save it as a .doc or do I have reformat the whole thing? Just downloaded Sigil for a reader - have iMac (snow lep) version '09 Pages.
Also, I used a color background, light tan, can I do that in the reformat? Or, just have to go with the white?
I started reformatting with the "sample epub practice" Apple suggested, but if there's another way ...
I could "inline" the photos and take out the shadows, but since it's a photo/text book I'd like to keep the beauty of the book the way it is in .pft form.
I'm trying to avoid having to purchase special software to do this, if possible.
Thanks for your input.

Hi fruhulda, Thank you for attempting to explain this to me.
When I go to the the first link you gave # 7 says "To export your Pages document as an ePub document, choose File, Export and make sure ePub is selected as the export format."
From what I read on the page, I've done what needs to be done to export to ePub.
I'v simply created my work in Pages 09, I went to pages, chose a template, wrote content, added pics numbered pages ETC, saved it to documents then I open the pages document, What I made comes up and I go to file, then export and then click epub but when I click on epub, the only option is to choose another format or cancel, the next button goes away. (the next button doesn't actually go away but it becomes non-clickable)
When you say " The message you have got tells you that you have used the Page Layout template instead of the Word Processing one you need for creating an ePub document."
I'm not sure if you're saying I've done something wrong. If so, where did I go wrong? Was I not supposed to use a template?
Thanks again,
Dave

  • Layout Options - Page Order Does Not Work Correctly

    I have a Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer.  The Layout Option - Page Order does not work as expected.  The User Guide (page 95) states that the default for a multiple page document is to print first page first.  The manual states that to print last page first requires one to change the Page Order to "Back to Front".  For my Excel, Word, Internet Explorer and PDF pages, I need to leave the Page Order as "Front to Back" if I want the last page to print first.  This makes no sense.  In addition, I can't get my Quicken reports to print last page first no matter what I try.  Does anyone no why the Page Order does not work as expected for Excel, Word, IE and PDF, and does not work at all for Quicken?

    Keisha,
    If you uncheck the "show" option, then the corresponding HTML for that item is not rendered on the page. Thus, when you try to inspect that item via APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02, it simply doesn't exist.
    One trick that I use when I want to have hidden items on the page, but not make them take up any space, is to concatenate them to items that will be visible.
    Using your query as an example, I would re-write it like this:
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,ROWNUM,'CHECKED')ATTENDED,
    APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(2,C.PARTY_ID)
      || APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(3,C.PARTY_TYPE_CODE)
      || C.PARTY_TYPE_CODE PARTY_TYPE_CODE,
    S.PERSON_ID,
    S.PERSON_FIRST_NAME AS NAME,
    C.PARTY_CASE_ID
    FROM CASE.PARTY C
    INNER JOIN DN.PERSON S
    ON C.PARTY_ID = S.PERSON_ID
    WHERE C.PARTY_CASE_ID = :P18_CDBCASE_ID
    AND C.PARTY_SEQ_NO = :P18_SEQThus, the second APEX report column will contain the HTML for the hidden items PARTY_ID & PARTY_TYPE_CODE, as well as the value for PARTY_TYPE_CODE. When you submit the page, you should not encounter any issues.
    Thanks,

  • Pages of PDF not loading on iPad

    Aloha,
    I am having issues with certain pages of a PDF Textbook not loading on my iPad; this is my first semester using only e-books and after running into this issue i will never use an e-book again.
    The PDF in question is a 470mb Biology textbook which is saturated with pictures. What is happening is that a page will load (pg 469), but the next page will not load no matter how long i let it sit, and the proceeding page loads just fine then from that point certain pages don't load either. I have reinstalled Reader on iPad, i have tried compressing the PDFs with preview AND acrobat but neither change the size no matter which option i use (compress/optimize).
    Please help, this is infuriating.

    Hi SurfEatSleepRepear,
    The issue seems to be related to the document. Does the pdf open fine on the desktop?
    Do other pdfs work fine?

  • Open to specific page in pdf not working in IE

    IE 9
    Dear all,
    The URL page parameter isn't working for me. I have tried adding #page=3 to my url. The pdf document however opens to the first page rather than the third.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    MDB

    Try clearing the browser's cache. Also, make sure that the PDF plugin used to open the file is actually Adobe Reader and not anything else.

  • Pages to PDF export and text not showing

    I exported a pages document from Pages to PDF and I can not see the text???
    Font is Tex Gyre Adventor and it is in the color white with a shadow and a tangerine box backdrop
    Thoughts? - Thanks!!

    I'm not sure exactly why this happened, but I think I might have some reasons why.
    Maybe try changing the color of your text to another color instead of white and see if that works. Or maybe try changing the background from tangerine to something else and see if anything changed once it is converted to a PDF.
    Another reason is maybe you did it completely wrong when you converted it. I'll explain how to, incase you completed any steps incorrectly.
    1) At the top of your screen, press "File" then "Export". At the top, make sure the "PDF" option is selected and not anything else like "Word" or "ePub" or any of the other options.
    2) Select the image quality. Perhaps adjusting this to "Best Quality" rather than just "Good" will help in being able to see the white text. I don't know, just a suggestion.
    3) Press "Next" which should be flashing in a light blue color.
    4) Save your PDF where you want it and call it what you want.
    5) Now press "Export"
    6) Open the PDF document and see if anything changed.
    Sorry if I haven't been much help but just see if that works.
    Another thing I will suggest is to try printing it out and seeing if the text is visible and that might help out.
    I'd also suggest, finally, start all over again with converting and follow the steps above, and see if anything changes.
    Hope I could help, sorry If I didn't.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • HT4798 i created my apple id account, verified but know i m unable to log on, it says incorrect password, i tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to my e- mail address, how can i get this sorted or delete my pr

    User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • I need to able to print a pdf that is locked.  It has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document.  Is there a way to do this?

    The PDF has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document.  Is there a way to do this?  HELP!

    Sorry I thought  was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
    Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
    I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

    If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

    No. Safari does not have the option to attach files for uploading other than photos.

  • When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

    Hi there
    I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
    I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
    I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
    Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
    Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
    (I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

    Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 will not convert web page to Pdf

    While using Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro, I cannot convert web pages to PDF format.
    the output is garbled and text is cyrillic or backwards.
    Using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13

    You do not have all the fonts embedded, but the basic document looks fine. There is an issue withe the printer setup in your browser that is leading to part of the page running off the paper - but that is a browser issue and not Acrobat. In some cases, a simple fix is to print as landscape.

  • Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

    We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
    1)  When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected.  However when we click on the document
    link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option.  Why does this happen????? 
    2)  The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email;   HOWEVER,  one of our co-workers does get the
    check out option when clicking on the link in the email task.  Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ????  We have compared our internet settings and adobe
    settings to ours and found no differences.
    We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI.  Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
    It will be better if you can descript how you
    get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
    Then I upload a
    word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
    I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
    Thank you for your understanding.
    Best Regards,

  • Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

    Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
    For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
    Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
    It is the final generated document that has this problem.
    I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
    Any other advise?

  • Pdf files are not attaching correctly to emails. I have tried the reset firefox option but this has not worked.

    I use comcast for my email. I have attached scanned doc in pdf many times successfully. Now attachments will not display, when I check the attachment all I get is a blank page with the note the pdf docs may not display correctly

    Firefox 19 changed your default viewer for PDFs to the built-in viewer. Maybe it can't handle the scan due to size or other reasons?
    To change your PDF handler to the Adobe Acrobat plugin or an external application, you can update one of your application preferences. There is now a support article on this: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    Any luck?
