PDF to eBook error

Hi,
I am getting a problem when I process PDF for eBook.
PDF size is 75 MB.
RAM Size used for server is 2048 MB.

Please help me

IF you have a backup copy of the pdf that isn't damaged, just
upload THAT
file
As to how to do it- make a duplicate copy of the good file
(so you will
still have a backup copy)
go to this Local Site Folder on the hard drive.
Find the pdf file. Make note of it's filename
delete it
place the good pdf file there.
if needed, change it's filename to exactly what the other one
was
select it, upload it
If that doesn't work- then possibly there is a problem on the
server with
the MIME type settings it is sending.
but that would probably take care of the issue.
When i mentioned "regenerate the pdf file" what i meant was
that Unless you
typed the pdf in full version Acrobat, you probably created
the document in
something else then turned it into a pdf file. If you
couldn't find an
undamaged pdf file, go back to the original source document
and create the
pdf file again.

How do I encrypt a pdf file (ebook) to prevent unauthorized distribution of my ebook?

Hi, guys.
I am planning to sell my ebook from my website. It is in Word format. I would like to create a PDF file for viewers since it is versatile, then encrypt the PDF file to prevent unauthorized distribution of my book. How do I do that?
Thanks
genesis

If you want to be friendly to your users, generate encrypted .epub format and not .pdf.
pdf is great for its original purpose of print preparation, but terrible for more flexible formats.
As different ereaders have different screen sizes and resolutions, and different people will want to read with different font sizes (**),
pdf format will be very hostile in all cases except the one that excactly fits how you make the pdf.
I think that InDesgin will create encrypted epub or pdf files for you.
For the encryption to be effective for your purposes you need to encrypt differently for different AdobeIDs.
Looks as if Adobe's official way to do that is Adobe Content Server.
I suspect the cost of all that adds up quite a bit; you may want to look at third party solutions that handle all the infrastructure for you.
(**) or even the same person: I change font sizes depending how tired I am.

Large PDF file (ebook) on ipod touch to read?

I have a large pdf file (7.0 mb, 445 pages) that I want to be able to read (without killing my eyes) on my overseas flight. I added the file via an app called file magnet. But it ran low on memory and crashed. Plus the text was very small.
I love the way ereader pro works but unsure if those books are in pdf format. Or if I can even add my own books?
Is this idea even possible for me to do?
I would be
a) willing to reformat the document if need be.
b) pay for an app that would allow this.
and/or both...
Thanks in advance for your help.

There are several iPhone/iPod Touch apps that can read PDF files. However, the ones I have found to not re-flow the text (if you find one, let use know).
While less than perfect, you can use the free desktop Stanza app
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/34623>
to convert a PDF to an ePub format which can be read via the free iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app.
The iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app can then change the font size, text color, background color, etc... And Stanza is a nice eBook reader.
The iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app can download eBooks via several methods. From web sites that support Stanza (such as FictionWise, Project Gutenberg, etc..), from your own web server if you specify the link as stanza://path/to/ebook.epub, or you can enable the desktop Stanza -> Tools -> Enable Sharing, which will allow your iPhone/iPod Touch pull eBooks current displayed on the Stanza desktop into your the iPhone/iPod Touch Stanza app.
However, I will warn you that the PDF to ePub conversion leaves a lot to be desired, as a lot of formatting information is lost, but it is readable and you can most definitly change the font size and other font attributes.

Streaming Video in pdf-based ebook

I have created a pdf file with streaming video. In other words, using the multimedia tool in acrobat 9, I specify a RTMP URL which points to a specific video on our streaming video server. Everything works perfectly in the PDF.
After packaging the PDF in ACS4, the streaming video does not work in the resulting ebook.
Is there some restriction that is preventing streaming video using the RTMP protocol from working? Has anybody successfuly placed streaming video in their ebook?

I have placed a SWF in my base PDF document and packaged it as an ebook. Video does not play. I do have the poster image of the video visible but I am not able to start the video. There is no active area on the video for me to do anything. Is there any document I have missed that explains how to embed a video into an ebook?
There are a number of different opotions in flash to generate a SWF file for imported video such as:
- Loading a video with playback component
- Embedding a FLV in SWF and play in timeline
None of these options work for me.
If anybody has been successful at this, please let me know the procedure. Thanks in advance for your help.

Preview and Print restrictions in PDF

Hi there,
I bought the Adobe Type Basics pack, and I would like to use one of the fonts that has the Preview and Print license.
The Preview and Print license states that "Preview & Print allows the font, either fully or as a subset, to be embedded in an electronic document solely for the purpose of viewing that document on screen and/or printing that document. While a font with a Preview & Print embedding permission (either through data in the font file or the font’s license agreement) may be embedded in an electronic document, the embedded font may not be used to further edit the document it is contained in or to edit or create other documents."
If I use this font in a PDF file meant to be sold/distributed, am I violating any of these terms? As far as I know, you can't create an "editable PDF." PDFs are, to my understanding, relatively static--so I do not understand why there is such specific wording about the prohibition of "further edits."
I am using MAC Pages, so I could use the additional password protection option (under the "Save as PDF" not "Export as PDF" section) to prevent people from "copying text, images, and other content." I presume "other content" covers fonts, but I'm not sure. And I don't know if the password encryption will prevent "editing." Technically doing so would be encrypting the PDF, I believe. However, this would not be bulletproof protection. And I do not know if that will prevent font extraction.
I would appreciate some help. From what I understand, all these points seem more relevant for PSD, AI, EPS and other workflow-type files.
Cheers

Thanks for posing this question.
Although fonts have embedding restrictions baked into the font such as preview and print, the real restrictions are to be found in a font's EULA (End User License Agreement) which may have other restrictions including payment of royalties on copies of PDF files or any other asset in which the fonts are embedded.
In the case of any and all fonts sourced from Adobe, not only do you have at least preview and print embedding privileges, but there are no restrictions or royalties required for distribution of files (i.e., PDF, EPS, eBooks, etc.) in which the Adobe fonts are embedded.
In other words, you are “good to go” with Adobe fonts. On the other hand, make no assumption about fonts sourced from other font foundries. Many do not provide such liberal terms!

How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library. I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad. I can't see how I can open those PDF files. The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly. Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks. You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

How can I use the Adobe reader if the PDF documents are in iBooks?

The Adobe reader asks me to look for an "Open in" button but iBooks does not appear to have one. I like IBooks because it synchronises nicely with the computer, and I can read the PDFs but I cannot highlight, add comments or add bookmarks unless I use the Adobe reader.

Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows).

Lenovo Yoga 8" as a pdf reader?

Hi
I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Yoga 8-inch tablet for use mainly as a pdf and ebook reader. (The long battery life makes it particularly attractive to me.)
Can anyone comment on how suitable the Yoga will be, please? In particular, is the screen resolution sharp enough for long periods of reading?
Also, is it possible to use a stylus to make annotations on pdfs? I know the Yoga doesn't come with a stylus, but will the screen support one?
I'd be very grateful for any comments.
Best, K

Can't comment on the stylus but the screen on the 8" is very good. I've been using it for a few weeks now and no complaints at all. In fact I think it's a fantastic tablet. Fast and responsive enough for me.
I don't understand the reviews saying the screen res on the 8" is poor. It's not. The 10" has the same resolution so I imagine that's not great but on the 8" it's perfect for me.

EBook (EPUB) Publication FAQ

How much does it cost to publish an eBook?
If you are a do-it-yourself publisher, there is no cost to use our free tools to convert and/or publish your EPUB and PDF format eBooks. We will even provide you with a copy of our free eBook Creator Guide to assist you through the process.
If, however, you would like a little assistance, we offer several affordable eBook publishing packages.
How do I create an eBook in EPUB format?
Although this is the most frequently asked question about eBooks, it is also the most difficult one to answer concisely. Have a look at the following video tutorials to get an idea of what you will need to get started.
Video Tutorial: How to Publish an eBook on Lulu.com
Video Tutorial: How to Publish an eBook with the Best Table of Contents
Then download the eBook Creator Guide to use as a handy reference when preparing your manuscript for conversion to an eBook in EPUB format.
Overview: Steps to Create and Publish an eBook Project
Lulu’s Complete eBook Creator Guide
If you run into difficulties, don’t hesitate to search our community forums or post a question. One of our volunteer forum experts will be happy to assist you.
What types of files can I upload to convert to an eBook?
Before we can convert your manuscript to an eBook in EPUB file format, it must be saved as a properly formatted Microsoft Word (DOC or DOCX), Rich Text Format (RTF), or Open Office (ODT) file.
For more information about file types compatible for use in our EPUB converter, see Supported File Types.
Can I use the same file I uploaded for my print book to create my eBook?
You can certainly create a copy of your print book manuscript file to use as a starting point; however, eBooks are formatted very differently than their print book cousins.
Your original manuscript was probably created to closely resemble the format of a print book, which requires, margins, a table of contents, headers, footers, page numbers, page breaks, etc. eBooks, on the other hand, are composed of reflowable text, do not have pages as we think of them, and include an electronic table of contents allowing readers to navigate to sections or chapters.
For more information about formatting your manuscript, see Prepare Your Manuscript for eBook Conversion.
What is an eBook Marketing Image?
Think of the eBook Marketing Image as the eBook’s “cover.” It is the image shoppers see when browsing online for eBooks and on their eReader’s “bookshelf” when they purchase and download your work.
When creating and editing your Marketing Image, you should design the image to capture a shopper’s attention. The art and text should be clear, crisp, and easily read when viewed as a thumbnail.
The Marketing Image consists only of the front cover art, which should include the book title and author name. Unlike print books, there is no back cover or dust jacket flaps on an eBook cover that can be used to provide author information or a synopsis of your work. Therefore the Marketing Image could be the first, and last, impression a shopper has of your work.
The Marketing Image must be created to the following specifications:
Dimensions: at least 612 x 792 pixels (8.5” x 11” or 21.59 cm x 27.94 cm)
Resolution: 72dpi or higher to provide a clear image when viewed in multiple sizes
Do I need an ISBN for my eBook?
You do not need an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) if you only want to sell your eBook in the Lulu Marketplace.
You will need an ISBN if you want to sell your eBook on sites other than the Lulu Marketplace, such as the Kindle Store, the Apple iBookstore, the Kobo Store, and the Barnes & Noble NOOK® Bookstore.
Please Note: All eBooks published with an ISBN and set to a status of Private or General Access qualify for retail distribution. For more information about this process, see eBook Distribution FAQ.
Can I use the same ISBN for my eBook as I used for my print book?
No. The ISBN identifies the title, author, publisher, and format of a book. Therefore, a different ISBN is required for each format (hardcover, paperback, eBook, etc.).
How much should I charge for my eBook?
Only you know the worth of your work.
You can get an idea of a competitive price range by studying your intended market. How much are authors in your genre or area of expertise charging for their work? Do you have the same name recognition in your field? Are you just getting started as a writer and want to get your work into as many hands as possible? Is a print version of your book also available for purchase and if so, do you want to offer a discount on the eBook version?
Rather than answering your question with even more questions, here are few points to consider when pricing your eBook:
Lulu Marketplace
You can offer your eBook as a free download or sell it for any price greater than or equal to $0.99.
Important Note: The Lulu creator revenue split is calculated on income above $0.99. For example, if you charge $2.99 for your eBook, your income for each eBook sold in the Lulu Marketplace will be $1.80, which is 90% of $2.00. For the mathematically inclined: Lulu Marketplace eBook Creator Revenue = .90(price – $0.99)
iBookstore or Barnes & Noble NOOK® Bookstore:
Retail channels also have rules governing acceptable minimum and maximum list prices. Each channel may adjust your price to comply with their pricing policies. Use this eBook Retailer Price & Revenue Calculator to see what your eBook will sell for on these retailers' sites and estimate the revenue you will earn from each sale.
Amazon Kindle and Kobo Bookstores
Some retailers operate as resellers. This means they pay the wholesale price to a distributor when your eBook sells. Since these retailers are buying your book from a middleman at a set price, they can resell your eBook at any price they like, including a discounted price. Under the reseller model you will always make the same revenue as displayed in the retail pricing step for each book sold by that retailer, regardless of the sale price.
Once your eBook is published, you can view and edit your eBook's retail pricing and distribution options from the My Projects > Manage button.
IMPORTANT NOTES: When you select Kindle and/or Kobo distribution, Barnes & Noble converts to the reseller revenue model. At this time Amazon Kindle and Kobo distribution are not available to authors residing in Australia.
Why can’t I sell my PDF eBook on sites other than Lulu.com?
While PDFs are simple to create and great for reading on a large monitor or laptop screen, they are usually created as fixed text documents (i.e. the reader cannot choose the font or font size). As such, PDFs are not easily read on smaller screens such as those found on eReader devices.
Due to this limitation, our retail partners prefer eBooks in EPUB file format. These types of eBooks allow text to be optimized for all displays and reading on both large screens and small devices such as smartphones and eReaders.

Check this thread on how to create epub from ID.
Also, above right is a field that says "search forums". Type in 'epub' and you'll see a ton of threads.

Forgotten password how to open a pdf

forgotten password how to open a pdf

If you have a password protected PDF document, you need to ask the author of the PDF for the password. Adobe Reader Touch can open a password protected PDF document if a correct password is provided by the user. However, it cannot retrieve or change the original password.
In addition, Adobe Reader Touch does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected PDF documents (eBooks, Adobe LIveCycle PDF documents with Rights Management, or "Protectedpdf" by Vitrium - used by online schools such as University of Phoenix) yet.
