Does anybody knows where this sample can be found ?

Hi All,
I have sucessfully created a pdf book using PDFBookBinder. I'm getting a blank page when I try to use a Pdf as my cover sheet. My toc.xml looks like this....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <outline xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/book/">
<title-page type="pdf">L:\badev\templates\quoting\temp\QUOTEFile10691\QUOTE10696.PDF</title-page>

Hi Matt,
I'm also trying to use the PDF Book Binder API.
I used the FOProcessor to convert a number of XSL files into PDF files and I'm nowing trying to use the PDFBookBinder to add a 'table of contents' to my PDFs.
Where you able to dynamically create the TOC?
And if so, I would be grateful if you could provide some detail on how it was done.
P.S. Sorry to be answering your question with a question.
Many Thanks
Keith

Cropping of images during book binding process

Would anybody know how much cropping occurs during the bookbinding process? I have created a book using the Picture Book theme, and just read in the online help that allowances need to be made for cropping that occurs during book binding. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no cropping during production - your book will exactly the preview if you do it this way - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
4:3 is 4:3 no matter what software you use - same same
I also wonder about using the slider and positioning feature available when I click on the image within the frame in the template. If I zoom in on the image with that function, and then position the image as I like it, will that be respected in the printing process?
Of course - and if you preview the book according to the instructions above you will see EXACTLY what is going to be printed - and you can save the resulting PDF for reference

Hi
I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
What can I do?
thank you a lot.

There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
- Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
- Adobe Reader (free)
Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

How can I make a pdf book with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time

How can I make a pdf book (single pdf file with several pages) with "camera to pdf" option on phone? I can only convert one pic at a time. ( Or )how can I attach all those pictures converted pdf's into one pdf file which obviously results in to a single pdf file with several pages in it ?

Adobe Reader on the iPhone is a PDF reading app. It's not a creation app.
You need to get an app like Pages which is intended for page layout. It can place pictures from the phone and export PDF.

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

IBooks 3.1-all PDF books in my Collections disappear after updating to 3.1 on iPad 4 ios 6.1.2! How do I recover or revert to previous version? (Can one do selective restore of back on iTunes?)

Just updated iBooks app on my iPad 4 to ver 3.1. Upon launching iBooks 3.1 briefly saw my PDF books on my Collections bookshelves then they suddenly disappeared! (Purchased Books are still present)
How do I recover all my PDF titles in my Collections?
Can one revert to the previous version of iBooks?
How can one do a selective restore from iTunes backup of iPad on PC? (Don't have iBooks running on Mac/PC)

You've tried tapping on the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf to see if they are in a different collection ? If not then do you have a copy of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (though PDFs aren't iTunes purchases, if you've done 'transfer purchases' whilst they were on the iPad then they should have copied over) ?
ibooks and PDFs aren't included in a device's backup, so if they aren't in your computer's iTunes library and/or you don't have your own backup copy of them then they won't be on your computer (for info there isn't an iBooks app/program for a Mac or PC).

RE-printing a PDF book With Acrobat 9

I have this strange problem. When I print a pdf book as a pdf again (reason I am doing this if because it will give me a page size that will go with the entire book, and as a result, it will be easier to crop the book.), the file size becomes WAY bigger than the original size of the PDF.
This is the basic process when I do the the printing to pdf:
Select ALL the pages in the book.
Go To Print.
Under the Name List, select Adobe PDF.
Click Properties.
On the Layout tab, Click Advanced. Under Paper Size, Select Postscript Custom Paper Size.
Select the Unit (e.g. Millimeter).
Once done, go to the ADOBE PDF Setting tab, and then select Default Setting to Standard.
click all the OKs, until you are ready to print.
I have tried to to look for the answer on other forums, and googling, but no proper explanation or advice.
Thanks

Tried that. That doesnt solve the problem. File is still as big as
hell. Acrobat 8 works like a charm for this process. I even made
screenshot for the 'small size' preset and compared it to Acrobat 9.
Seems the same, so not sure why does it make files bigger. Dont get
started with file optimization because this book im dealing with here
has bad images to any downsizing is going to mess it up. Booya:-@

Making a pdf book

Hi all,
Hopefully someone can help me out with this..
I would like to make an ebook/PDF book (i'm not sure what the difference is!!!?)
I don't have a clue how to go about this.
I'm a musician and I have all my lyrics and chords all neatly displayed in microsoft word...
I thought it would be better if i maybe converted all the word documents (over 400) in to PDF's that would hopefully allow me to search through my individual songs by title? Or by keyword, (I'm pretty sure I've done this within a PDF document before.
Is this even possible or have I just wasted my money ordering an ipad2 ? (I was going to hopefully upload the PDF book to ibook and literally read it as i played?)
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me at all
James

"eBook" is an umbrella term for a plethora of formats.
A good overview is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats
The "authoring" software needed to output to a desired format will depend upon which format you go to.
ePub, PDF, or the Kindle format (there's an App for iPad) may be the most versatile for you.
If you decide to create PDFs from the MS Word files you will want Acrobat Professional.
Acrobat Standard will let you get by; however it is not as robust for tweaking PDFs.
PDFs can be viewed on an iPad with one of the available Apps.
I prefer Good Reader but there are other capable ones; look through the App Store.
Be well...

Change size of pages/text in pdf book

Hello I am trying to read a few pdf books but the text is so small that I have to zoom way in and then scroll from side to side to read the thing. Its super irritating. Is there a way to make the pdf book act more like the regular books? I would like to be able to have the text bigger and fit the page at the same time, instead of just zooming in. Thanks

Sure, but that means repeating the action for each one, and there are a lot of them. What I was wondering is if there is a way to do it for all of them at once - to change the default size of comments.
No it doesn't.
Just make it the way you like it, select it and save it as a Style , just like any other text, which you then apply to the rest of the comments.

How can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app

how can I transfer PDF books to the kindle app

There are many ways to import your PDFs into Papers for iPad. Obviously the preferred way is if you have a Mac and also use Papers for Mac**. The two apps can wirelessly sync their libraries. But also without a Mac there are plenty of ways. You can upload PDFs directly via iTunes, or you can import PDFs attached to an email from Mail on the iPad. Alternatively, use the Papers bookmarklet to open a webpage you found in Mobile Safari and download the PDF from there. Or you can use the built-in search engines to search for articles and download the PDFs.
