Publishing iBook for non US residents
I want to sell a book through the iTunes Store in Mexico and have followed all the steps but I can´t go forward because I'm asked to provide my EIN or SSN / ITIN. I live in Mexico, I am an independent author, and it is very difficult to get these documents through the IRS in the US (I'm not a US citizen and have never been a resident). Is there any way to get my books on sale without this information? Even if it's only for the iTunes store in Mexico?
Thanks for the support!
Hi Angelika,
You have a pretty name. I wonder were you are from?
You can get some FREE video's from www.Guba.com. They have free stuff as samples READY for iPod and they change them EVERY DAY. You can get music video's, TV, all sorts of stuff. Of course, witha CC you can also subscribe and surf GUBA without restriction but I have been downloading for 2 1/2 months just the free stuff.
Check it out! I would like to see you be able to do anything your heart desires with your video iPod! (but don't load firmware 1.1 - many problems)

Requirements to publish on iBook Store for non-US residents
I recently applied to publish books on the iBook Store filling out the requested field as suggested by some users for non-US residents.
I still would like to receive some clarifications on the process and the rules governing book publishing for European residents. What are the requirements to publish ?
The following are my concerns:
Is it allowed to be a personal or legal entity in Europe and publish on the iBook Store ?
Is it required to have a Tax Identification Number in the USA to publish paid editions ?
Is it required to have a USA credit card or bank account ?
What about the USA witholdings required by law for Italy ?
Thank you for your help
StefanoHi Stefano
I am replying to this only because no one else have, I am not in Europe but in Canada, so i did experience some obstacles when trying to create my iTunes account. I would assume it would be similar for Europe. Here are the answers to some of your questions from the Canadian perspective. perhaps they will apply to you as well?
Is it allowed to be a personal or legal entity in Europe and publish on the iBook Store ?I could do either but went with the legal entity
Is it required to have a Tax Identification Number in the USA to publish paid editions ?I did and simply hired a company to get the EIN as it I chose to do it under a corporate name. It cost $250 and I had the number within 48hrs.
Is it required to have a USA credit card or bank account ?No
What about the USA witholdings required by law for Italy ?Apple is handling the sales taxes for the various countries, it is up to me to look after the corporate taxes
Hope this is a bit helpful to you

Publishing iBooks for iPhones and iPod Touches
I just created an ibook using iauthor. I've published it to the ibooks store, but it is only available for download on iPads. No one can download it on their iPhones or iPod touches. How do I convert it and publish it to a format that will work?
Yes and no - depends on the file format of the 'book'.
The iBooks app can be download on iPhone, iPod touch, ipad and ipad mini - true.
File support with this app differs though, depending on device:
iPhone and iPod touch - ePub, PDF
Ipad and ipad mini - ePub, PDF, ibooks
If you really want people to read your book on an iPhone or iPod touch, then the ibooks format is not for you. Use Pages for example to create ePub, or export a PDF from iBA - that way you can still get the formatting/desktop publishing layout etc.

Can i publish an ibook for a very limited audience
Can I publish an iBook for a very limited audience? Suppose that I only want to send it to 20 people. Is that possible?
Um... yes. Just send it to the people you want to have it. Of course, nothing prevents them from giving it to others unless it's DRM protected, which would require you to sell it through the app store. I don't believe you can limit who is allowed to purchase it other than restricting it to a specific country.

Non-Web Server Publishing Rule for Internal and External
Hi there,
I have a problem with my TMG and publishing SSH for Internal and External users to an internal Server.
Network:
Internal Network
SSH Server, 10.10.10.25
Internal DNS record "ssh.domain.com" pointing to 10.10.10.254
TMG Server, 10.10.10.254/192.168.0.254
External Network
External DNS record "ssh.domain.com pointing to 192.168.0.254
I want my users (internal AND external) using their SSH client to connect to ssh.domain.com and TMG to forward the request to the SSH server. Note that internal clients and the SSH server are in the same network.
I have created a custom "SSH Server" protocol with inbound TCP for port 22 and created a Non-Web Server publishing rule.
Traffic Tab: SSH Server Protocol
From Tab: Internal, External
To Tab: 10.10.10.25, original client
Networks Tabs: Internal, External
External users cann connect without a problem, all fine here. Internal users get a timout. The TMG Log says: Denied Connection (Default Rule,
The policy rules do not allow the user request) and doesn´t recognize this is an inbound request. The log gives me dest IP 10.10.10.254 and protocol SSH and not 10.10.10.25 and SSH Server.
I read a lot of networking rules and NAT/Routing, tried a bit but never got a success.
Can you help me fix or working around this and tell me whats going on there and if there a limitations in TMG I don´t know yet?
Regards,
SaschaHi,
According to your description, it seems that request was denied by the TMG rules so the request from the internal users
could not be forwarded to the SSH server. I would appreciate it if you can post the logs to us and the results of running ipconfig/all on the TMG server.
In addition, maybe you can change the firewall policy only from
External and add another firewall policy for the internal user to see if the issue persists.

How do I rename the PDF (both Title & Author) in new ibooks for Mavericks?
Hi!
I can't seem to amend both Title and Author for my PDFs in the new ibooks App in Mavericks.
(Opening it in Preview and renaming it does not change the Author name FYI)
The current solutions present are for 2013 and there is none for the new app in Mavericks.
My obsessiveness does not allow me to list my books in such haphard fashion.
Any kind souls able to help?
Thank you!LOL! As you've explained it, the reason this community is called iBook for Macs is because you can easily change PDF titles on a Mac…
I know that people like to be gatekeepers--and I know that people can post in the wrong places--but that's not what happened here. I was correcting the previous comment about iBooks on the iPads! (See earlier post above.)
"iBooks.app on iPads or Maversick is a "viewing" app ie it allows you to open books etc,. on the device its used on. Its "read only" in computing terms.. you cannot change anything."
I wanted to do it by not directly pointing out the person's error, but you've forced my hand!
By the way, I ended up at this thread inadvertently while looking for how to change book titles in iBooks under iOS. So, in case anyone else ends up here looking for how to change PDF titles on their iPads, they'll know it can be done and how!
Happy Labor Day, everyone! -
How to get books onto iPad when iBooks for Mac refuses to sync.
I have around 300 books which were originally in the books section of iTunes. Since upgrading to Mavericks the new iBooks for Mac is moved them all over and I ma now unable to access most of them on my iPad despite making sure all settings are correct. None of the books I use for study created by iBooks Author will now transfer. The only ones that seem to are those recently purchased from iTunes. Anybody out there found a solution yet. Apparently Apple admit that only books purchased from iTunes will sync, but I need to be able to get them on my iPad. I don't care if they sync or not.
There are a few categorical places one must visit in order to synchronize iBooks for Mac with IOS iBooks. There is no need to remove the iBook for Mac application.
System Preferences > iCloud > Documents and Data is enabled
IOS Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections (enabled) and optionally Sync Bookmarks (enabled)Assumption that iCloud is enabled on the IOS device with documents and data enabled
iBook for Mac > Preferences > General: Sync: Sync bookmarks, highlights, and collections across devices
iTunes
Pick your IOS Device under DEVICES in the left nav
Choose Books along the top toolbar
In the Books panel, choose one of the following
Books and PDF Files
Books only
PDF only
In the Sync Books panel
All Books
Selected BooksClick the box next to the books you wish to Sync
Select iTunes Sync
The books (and PDF) you selected above are now on your IOS device -
PDF generation for Non English Characters from ADF
Hi
We are using below piece of code to generate pdf from ADF Managed bean. It works fine. However for non English Characters(eg. Japanese,Vietnamese,Arabic) it puts
I got few blogs
https://blogs.oracle.com/BIDeveloper/entry/non-english_characters_appears
However we are not using BI Publisher product . We are using its API's
Can anyone tell where do we need to setup fonts within ADF or Weblogic or Server ?
Input Parameters are
a)xml Data
b)InputStream ie rtf Template
import oracle.apps.xdo.XDOException;
import oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor;
import oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor;
public static byte[] genPdfRep(String pOutFileType,byte[] pXmlOut ,InputStream pTemplate)
byte[] dataBytes = null;
try {
//Process RTF template to convert to XSL-FO format
RTFProcessor rtfp = new RTFProcessor(pTemplate);
ByteArrayOutputStream xslOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
rtfp.setOutput(xslOutStream);
rtfp.process();
//Use XSL Template and Data from the VO to generate report and return the OutputStream of report
ByteArrayInputStream xslInStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xslOutStream.toByteArray());
FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
ByteArrayInputStream dataStream = new ByteArrayInputStream((byte[])pXmlOut);
processor.setData(dataStream);
processor.setTemplate(xslInStream);
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
processor.setOutput(pdfOutStream);
byte outFileTypeByte = FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF;
processor.setOutputFormat(outFileTypeByte); //FOProcessor.FORMAT_HTML
processor.generate();
dataBytes = pdfOutStream.toByteArray();
} catch (XDOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return dataBytes;
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
AbhijitFonts are defined in the template you use to generate the pdf. Your application add the data and both is processed yb the FOP processor. Now there are two possible causes of the '???' :
1. the data you sent to the template contains the '???' already
2. the template can't digest the data (the special characters) and puts '???' in the pdf.
Before going on you have to find out which one is your problem. The 2nd is the problem you better ask this in a FOP forum as you have to solve it by changing the template.

Number-to-text for non-English locale?
Hi,
I know you can easily display numbers as text in BI Publisher, but it works only for English version. Is it possible to add that functionality for other languages too? Without some dirty work in database?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to validate for non-english character on a single line text field.
I recommend to use jQuery to attach regular expression validation. Please refer to:
Using #jQuery to attach regular expression validation to a #SharePoint list form field
In addition, for custom validations you can create your own Types. Refer to
this[^] for creating custom field type

Gallery for non .mac?
Is Web gallery even an option for non .mac domains? I host my personal website on godaddy and am wondering if the coolness that is the new Web .mac gallery can be "published" to godaddy.
Hi Dave, the beauty about ajax+XML is exactly that you don't need a complicated markup to render flashy pages, the XML part is handled by iPhoto itself and you just need the script to do whatever it wants with your photos, trust me, you don't need a .Mac account or anything more that the script and a plain and common web server, there's no behind-the-scenes magic.
But don't trust me, go here: http://www.ontoinfo.com/2006/09/22/javascript-flying-pictures-effect/ follow the instructions, make sure to copy the script from their link at their second paragraph and just paste it on your address bar, and that's a ONE-LINE script, much smaller that a tiny picture in size, and you can run that script on any website on the web, provided they got many pictures so you can enjoy it, no special web server or behind-the-scenes magic, just paste it on your address bar.
It's common to find stuff that you hadn't upload on most web servers, and I don't think Apple would be so naive to put them freely available on user accounts.
I don't spend my lunch uploading a gallery either, I just use the free Picasa plug-in on iPhoto and it gets uploaded in a couple of minutes, it may not be that flashy, but has more features and control than .Mac, Picasa as you might know is Google, and they master at web applications (ajax too BTW).
I was a .Mac user for years when it was free and even when they made it a pay service I stayed for a year, still in my own opinion not worthy. Also I got three iPods, The one I use everyday (a 60GB) is full and have never paid a premium or a subscription for it, iTMS is not available in my country for that matter, but if it were, I would gladly pay .99 for a song, but not $69 for a script and 10 useless GB (that's me).
Yes I've tried iWeb twice, once when it came out and the other a week ago, I didn't like it then, and a week ago found it pretty disappointing, some new stuff but still renders the most horrible markup ever, a simple page takes 10 times to render. Rapidweaver does a much better job.
On the other hand, and despite the huge disappointment of iWeb, iMovie and the .Mac fiasco, I love iPhoto, it is really and noticeably faster and the keyword engine is great. Also I would pay $80 for Pages and Keynote each, and Numbers is a good start.

If i create apps and publish ibooks in Apple app Store will it be available to all countries... I am from India
You will need to do apps and books separately. Apple suggests using separate Apple IDs for them. There are far more regulations involved with books than with apps. The short answer to your question is a qualified yes, with more caveats for books than for apps.
