PDF (again) and photo books

I am sorry to bring up this thing again, but even reading similar entries I still don't know how to do what I want to do or whether it is possible at all without some third party software.
What do I want? That people can turn the pages of my PDF, seeing not just the front page.
That they can turn the pages of my photo album by Apple.
I tried to follow suggestions and create a hyperlink but all of the "Insert > Hyperlink" are greyed out,
even if the first page is selected (I think it is, but I can only see those little squares).
Also, all the photos of my book are uploaded, but they can be viewed only as individual photos,
not as a book with turning pages.
I hope that iWeb will let me do these things, otherwise I would not find much use for it.
Regards,
Mike-oz

One of the neatest ways of having a PDF online with pages that turn is to use ISSUU which is a free service.

Your PDF can be uploaded "as is" as a PDF. Your photo album would have to be imported into something like Keynote or Pages and exported as a PDF. If you don't have iWork or another DTP app, you can use the freeware NeoOffice to do this.....

How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc?

How do you create a mixed media disc? I would like to include a slideshow/movie as well as include a .pdf of a photo book on the same disc. I would like the movie to play on any DVD player.

Do you want the pdf available to view or just for copying from the disk to a computer for viewing.
To view a PDF you can do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto which will create a jpg of each page of the pdf and save it to iPhoto. From there you can send the PDF jpegs to iDVD to make a slideshow of the pages. It's the same principle as used in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
If you don't have the Safe to iPhoto workflow in your HD/Library/PDF Services folder you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

PDF of Aperture photo book?

I'd like to design a photo book in Aperture; will I be able to save it as a high-res PDF?

Yeas, you can save the file, that would be sent to Apple for printing as a high quality PDF. See this support document:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
Open Aperture.
Click the Buy Book button.
Click the Preview Book button. Aperture will begin assembling the book. This may take several minutes depending on the size of your book.
When the assembly is complete a PDF of your book will open.
Note: With Aperture 3, the first page of the PDF is the wrap-around dust jacket for your book, and the second page is the photo wrap cover that will be wrapped around the casing of your hardcover book.
After previewing the book, go back to Aperture. If you decide to continue with the order, click Continue. If you decide not to order the book at this time, click Cancel.

RAW Images and Photo Books

Anybody tried using RAW images to build a photo book? I shoot my pics in combined RAW/jpeg formats - the jpegs are low res, so I would prefer to use the higher quality RAW images in making my book. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can’t.
RAW is a total sensor dump from the camera. The only thing you can do is process your RAW into good quality jpegs (or tiff or whatever) and use those. You cant even Print a RAW.\
When you import a RAW to iPhoto the app automatically creates a JPEG preview of the File. That makes the whole RAW+jpeg shooting rather pointless.

PDF files and address books

I am no longer able to open any PDF file. When I try to do so the screen on the PDF file is black and I cannot view the content of the file. Also, I am unable to open my address book. There is a shadow "question mark" image over the book. Any help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I did check another forum which suggested uninstalling Adobe Reader to solve the PDF issue. I have uninstalled this program however, it has not helped. Thnx.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Help!! How can I again purchase my photo books and calendars?

Puchase of calendars and photo books is no longer possible from my computer. I have an iMAC, Tiger 10.4.11. !!!!! It seems incredibly stupid to me that I can no longer purchase my own iphoto books and calendars and that Apple, has never warned me or offered me a solution... I asked in the local apple store, and they said my computer is too old (5years) - but I think that is just bad customer's service! I need to solve my problem... anyone?

It's got nothing to do with the age of your Mac, it's the version of your software.
And of course you can purchase your own books etc, just not from Apple.

Why doesn't iPhoto 08 back up photo book?

When I go to Share>Burn to burn a folder that has an album, slideshow, and photo book, the photo book does not get backed up. In previous iPhoto 06 version, it was possible to burn the photo book.
Any ideas?
Thanks

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

After updating to iPhoto 6, thumbs and photos are missing

I just updated from iphoto 5 to 6, installed off the iLife cd. iPhoto is displaying a grey screen with dashed boxes (that show the jpg names of the photos). When clicked, the enlarged photos show an exclamation mark"!"
I have trashed the program and reinstalled it and gotten the same result.
I have also relaunched with the option/apple keys and run OnyX to repair permissions and then restarted.
I did not mess around with my iPhoto library. All the photos exist in their original folders. I could reinstall them BUT I have some very nicely done photo books and albums I'd like to keep and many of my photos have been retouched. I have around 5000 photos I'm dealing with.
OF COURSE I did not Back up ILife before I upgraded. $%^&
Manually Imported photos from another folder are showing up fine. - Which makes me think that there is some database that thinks that all the other pictures are of a grey box ... is there a database that can be thrown out?

Well, I purchased and installed iPhoto Library Manager.
Unless I am missing some magic button, It doesn't seem to be the answer. All it does is move the selected phantom file references and then tells me that 0 files were moved.
I guess I get to manually add my old photos into the new "improved" iphoto 6 and forget about saving 2 years worth of albums and photo books.
II don't know if this matters, I was running my old billing program in system 9, which I shut down while updating the photo list.
Let this be a lesson, one I've learned too many times going back to 1985 MacII-1 simRam. BACK UP. Things have been running too smooth for too long. I got too comfortable. Its my own fault.

I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.

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

I have tried to order a photo book. Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?

Your screenshot is not visible.
Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

I've made a photo book, but ordering this iPhoto crashes and I have to reopen the program; done this several times and each time uploading the 3rd page (of 86) it crashes again. My software is up to date (9.2.1), so that is not the problem.

Try boot into Safe Mode and try again.

Issue with creationof picture in PDF Photo Book

I have created a photo book. The preview of a particular photo looks good. I have generated the book in pdf format to review, however, one specific picture show an issue in the picture it's self. I deleted the file and regenerated. Again contaminated pixels in the same picture in the same area. I have regenerated the preview and it still looks good. I have exported the picture to jpeg (50% size) and no issues.
What could be wrong? The contaminated pixels only appear in the photo book, not in the preview or exported jpeg.
Thanks

Any resolution to this problem? I have the same issue. I had this problem in 1.5.6. Then I upgraded to 2.0 today and still have the same problem. Macbook Pro 2.2 15"

Compare quality and features between aperture3 and iPhoto 11 photo books

Are photo books created in either aperture3 or iPhoto 11 the same or does one software program produce a better end result?

I only discovered my problem AFTER I had uploaded my book for printing. i went back and tried to create a PDF to save and discovered my problem. It had looked fine on the screen and I never received any sort of error message during the upload. I contacted Apple and they looked at what had been uploaded and saw that it was corrupted like my PDF so they canceled the order. I then went thru the process of rebooting in safe mode and tried a preview before uploading the second time. I called Apple again and they said the uploaded file appeared to be fine this time -- I have not received the book yet, but I am hoping it looks alright after printing. I experimented last night with making a duplicate of the original book project, then changed the template on the duplicate to Large instead of XL (everything else was the same as far as template style and color), then I ran a preview of that duplicate -- there were no corrupted files in the preview. It appears to me that the problem is not with corrupted photo files in my library but has to do with the size selection -- no XL books. When converting from Large to XL, the photos and their pkacement were exactly as the original but the size and location of all the Text alterations I had made to the original had been changed in the duplicate and would require editing again. This was the only difference in the two. Until Apple resolves this issue with another update, I suggest you either create only Large books and avoid XL -OR- boot in "safe mode" to send the XL book to print. I hope Apple corrects this issue soon because the XL books really are beautiful and it seems ridiculous to have to reboot everytime you want to purchase a book. Hope this helps.
