Photobook double pages in a PSE photobook to single pages?

I would like to save/separate the photobook double pages created either in PSE 7 or PSE 8 as single pages so that I can futher edit them and have different background, etc as single pages. It will also make things easier because I save them as PDF and print them through a printing company.

Hi,
This can be done through a simple workaround. What you need to do is go to the location where you have saved your photobook. Now, there must be a folder which has same name as the photobook (eg photobook is called apple.pse, there will be a folder called apple). Open the folder and you will find the psd files for all the pages. You can open the psd files for individual pages and edit them.

Double page spread for photobooks

Hi folks,
anyone know if its possible to create a photobook (soft cover style) with one photo as a double page spread?

That was done by a user in iPhoto 6 very successfully. Do a search in the iPhoto 6 book and print ordering forum. He posted screenshots of the result and they were pretty impressive.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I create a double page spread in a booklet layout on InDesign with out splitting my design and putting them on two separate pages?

I'll try my best to put this in the most simplest way,
Im trying to create a magazine, but I'm finding it difficult to make a double page spread without splitting it in half and putting it on different pages?
Is it possible to set the pages up so they are side by side, and then change them to the right order to print?

Just set them up as letter size pages in reader order. If you are having it printed professionally, send it as a pdf with separate pages, and the printer will handle setting up the printer spreads. If you are printing it from an office printer, both InDesign and Acrobat have Print Booklet functions. Many office printers also have this capability built in.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

HT1040 I am just about to order a 92 page book in Aperture and have previewed the order and found that in the PFD file I get all the pages are now different. Double page spreads are now on 2 different pages when viewed in 2 up continuous mode in Adobe Rea

I am just about to order quite an expensive 92 page large size book in Aperture & have used the Preview button and on viewing the book in the PDF using the 2 up continuous viewing mode I find that the page arrangement is all wrong with double page spreads now on separate pages and all my carefully designed pages in the wrong places. Will the book actually get printed like this? Regards,Keith

How did you create the preview of the book? It will look exactly like shown, when you press "Buy Book", then "Preview Book". This will open the Preview of you book in the "Preview" application. Set this to "Two-page mode". Then you should be able to see your double page spreads correctly, like here:

CS3 JS Double Page Spread

I'm trying to see if pages have items on them before sending off the page using:
if(myDocument.pages[myPageName-1].pageItems.length==0){
This works well until I get a double page spread item. The element sits on the left hand page and extends onto the right hand page but ID only reads the link as being on the left hand page not the right.
Is there a better way to check if pages are blank?
Cheers John.

InDesign assumes that a pageItem ‘belongs’ to a page if the geometric bounds of the page contains the center point of the pageItem bounding box. So you can have a pageitem located on page N that overlaps some other pages in the same spread. Actually the most relevant geometric container is the spread. To know if a page is really blank, you can traverse the parent spread page items collection and check if the bounds of one object intersects your target page.
Try this:
Page.prototype.hasPageItems = function()
     var sprd, pItems, b, ib;
     // check if the page contains a direct page item
     if( this.pageItems.length > 0 ) return true;
     // check if the page intersects a spread page item
     if( (sprd=this.parent).pageItems.length > 0 )
          b = this.bounds;
          pItems = sprd.pageItems;
          for( i=pItems.length-1 ; i>=0 ; --i )
               ib = pItems[i].geometricBounds;
               if( b[0]<=ib[2] && ib[0]<=b[2] &&
                    b[1]<=ib[3] && ib[1]<=b[3] )
                    return true;
     return false;
// sample test
var doc = app.activeDocument;
alert( doc.pages[2].hasPageItems() );

From single page to double page spreads when rotating

We've seen some publications that display as a single page when the iPad is held in portrait mode but switch to double page spreads when the iPad is rotated to landscape mode.
We've searched this forum - which has been very helpful so far - but can't seem to find how to enable this. Is it something fairly simple we've missed or has it been custom coded for the publications that use it? They seem to be pdf based as far as we can tell, or at least they are 'pinch & zoom'able and don't have any other interactivity, so they're quite basic. Nonetheless it is quite a nice way to display/read the publications.
We're quite new to the whole Adobe DPS system but are keen to get up to speed with it. We see a lot of potential with these tools.
Thanks

Very simple... create 1 folio for each spread with 1 page in landscape orientation and 2 pages in portrait - and only allow horizontal navigation (we use DPS + WoodWing so terms might differ at bit). Adobe made a script for converting PDF to Folio - spread by spread. Use the script for creating the needed layouts.
We have at least 15 apps working like that.

How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?

I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight

"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page.

Placing double pages one below the other

Does anyone know if it is possible to place double pages one below the other instead of side by side? If it is, please be so kind and describe how it´s done. If not let me know for it´s a very relevant question for me concerning workflow.
Thanx

>How did you do your annual calendar before you worked in InDesign?
We did our first one in Freehand, which allows you to arrange the pages any way you want, which is where I got the idea that ID should. The only reason we switched from Freehand to ID for our calendars was because it was easier to work with the text ... and then Freehand got bought out by ID and dropped. (And no I'm not saying that Freehand was the best application for this type of project--only that it had the ability to do vertical spreads.) The thing is, the option exists in Freehand, Adobe now has Freehand, so it seems like they could look at how Freehand did it and see if it could be implemented in ID--and maybe they have. If we don't keep asking, then they won't, right? All we're doing is asking.
We currently do the layout on one page the size of the calendar spread and break it up using PDFs placed on ID pages. That works for calendars (even if it is time consuming), however, I've done several books that were not calendars that use a horizontal binding and needed page numbers on the top and bottoms of the spread, and I had implement all kinds of masters to do what is automatic on the horizontal spreads. It doesn't make sense to me that an application that is designed for book layout can't do both kinds of spreads.
But I repeat what I said before in my first post. I think rotating views would solve that problem (along with others) quite nicely. You could then rotate all your text boxes and work like you were on a vertical spread and still have all the features of a horizontal one.
>I always get my fists up when I read people saying "Why can't InDesign do this?". It always feels as if they are saying "Why can't ID do this? It was so easy to do in Quark, PageMaker, FrameMaker, or even Word!"
No need to get your fists up. I love ID. I've been using it since version 1.0 when everyone else was still laughing at it. (I dropped PageMaker gratefully and without looking back). I wouldn't use anything else (including Freehand). But to say ID doesn't have room for improvement is to say it is perfect and it isn't. Why does it bother you so when other designers have features that are so intrinsic to their workflow that they just can't understand why everyone else isn't upset it isn't in ID? I admire your skill with ID and your ability to help everyone, but I really wish you wouldn't be so quick to jump down people's throats when they miss features that would make their lives much easier. Maybe you don't understand their frustration, but that doesn't make them wrong. When I first had to do a vertical spread, I was really flabbergasted that I couldn't switch the spreads around, I missed the feature because I needed it. Isn't that enough for you?

I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?

Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.

How do I get double-pages view in Pages 5.0

This CRUCIAL function somehow vanished, amongst other ones. How do i reenable double pages view in the latest version of pages 5.0?

>Sure there is. You can't do it in ios, so they don't want you to be able to do it on mac
Guess what, I cant take a phonecall with my mac either. According to your logic, the next update should remove the phone function from the iphone so things are unified.

Can i convert a file of double-pages to a file of single pages

I have a file of double pages which i want to convert to a file of single pages. How can I do this in Acrobat?

Some folks have written JavaScripts to resolve this issue, but I am not sure about with scans. If you wait around, one of the folks with the JavaScript might drop by and help (don't expect an immediate response). If you search the forum, you might find the script references. This issue comes up once or twice a year. If it is a small file and you have the time, you can crop the left side and save, then recrop to the write side and save. Then combine the two files and reorder. After you complete ordering, you may want to go to the Protect tools and use the remove hidden option and do a save as to hopefully get the desired result. I think the JavaScript simply duplicate each page and then crop the two, repeating the process through the entire file, then eliminate hidden information and save, but not sure.

In ibooks i want to open books to double page spread. How?

My books, even in landscape mode, only show one page at a time. I want to have double page spread. How do I do that?
Thanks, Tzipora

Well, everyone, I found two apps that open pdf's in landscape and turn pages. All that I want.
One is called PerfectReader. The other is Bookman. That solves that problem. Thanks for the help.

Exporting PDFs and maintaining double-page spread format

I've combined a large number of individual PDF files (created in InDesign) for print. Now I would like to create an iBook with these pages. I've created a PDF file for use on an iPad but how do I maintain the double-page spread format? I can view this successfully in Acrobat but not in iBooks. Can anyone help?
Thanks
F

This is best addressed in either an iBooks forum on the Apple website or InDesign. For use in iBooks you might be best off using a format other than pdf.

Exporting a double page spread and the PDF ends up blank?

I've created a double page spread as part of my university portfolio and wish to export this. Although when I export to a PDF the file is blank. I've tried changing everything and watching many videos but I can't seem to find the problem? I using CS6. I have changed the range to spreads also. HELP!

AH! Willi has spotted the problem.
You've created a new master spread in the Pages panel, and don the whole layout on the master page. Master pages are used for content that should be the same on multiple pages so you can create it once, then apply the master pages to the live document pages.
Open the Pages panel and add two in the bottom section. The "quick and dirty" solution at this point would be to drag the Master B page onto them, but it would be better to learn how to do this the right way. Since you have content that crosses the page boundary, you will need to have your two pages arranged as a spread. You can do this by setting the start page to an even number in Numbering and Sections options, or you can turn off page shuffling from the Pages panel flyout menu and drag the two pages together. Then cut the content from the B master page, and Paste in Place on the document pages spread.
This is basic InDesign usage, which makes me think you could use some training. Best beginners book is probably Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide for InDesign.
