Setting the first page in a mobi file

Hello,
I am exporting from indesign cs5 to mobi through a plugin. I was wondering if it's possible to manually set the first page that the document opens to. I'd like it to be the cover or the TOC, but my kindle just skips all that and goes straight to the editor's note. I am using a manually created TOC in the indesign document, so that could be why my kindle is skipping it, but I'd like to change that "default" if at all possible. Thanks SO much for your help!

If you want to use the Acrobat SDK, which is a tool for automating
Acrobat, you need to buy and install Acrobat on each client.
Adobe's PDF Library, which doesn't require Acrobat and has a different
(negotiated) licensing model based on royalties might be a better fit.
In either case, this would be written in C/C++.

  • How can I print only the first page of multiple PDF files at once in my PC?

    That is, without having to open each file individually.
    Thanks!

    Create an Action with the following JS command:
    this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0});
    This will cause the first page of all the files you process with this Action to be sent to your default printer.
    If you need to specify more complex parameters, you'll need to use a more complex code...

  • Extracting the first page of multiple PDFs & saving them as jpegs.

    Dear all,
    First post - hope its in the right place.
    I work in Publishing, and I have been given the following task - I have about 400 ebooks, all in pdf format, and my task is to extract the cover from every one of them (which is the first page of every pdf) and export them all as separate jpeg files (file names can remain exactly the same - ie, the name of the pdf book will be the same as the jpeg file). So I will end up with 400 ebooks and 400 jpegs of their covers.
    Anyone have any idea how to do this ?
    i have Windows and acrobat 8
    I have looked at batch processing in acrobat, but the option to extract the first page of multiple pdf files is not one of the options. there is an option to create your own script which im guessing is my best bet ? (hence why i have posted my question here)  Though I don't have the first clue about this. Have done some google searches, and some people have created similar things, but I cant seem to get them to work.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Rich

    ok, i have found a set of acrobat batch sequence and come across the following :
    Batch sequence name: Extract Pages to Folder.sequ. Task: For each file from the selected files, extract each of its pages and save the extracted pages to a particular folder.
    Example 2.10 Insert navigation icons
    /* Extract Pages to Folder */
    // A regular expression to acquire the base name of the file.
    var re = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
    var filename = this.path.replace(re,"");
    try
      for ( var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++ )
      this.extractPages
      nStart: i,
      cPath: "/C/temp/myDocs/"+filename+"_"+i+".pdf" // change this });
    catch (e)
       console.println("Batch Aborted: " + e )
    looks like i need something like this, but tried the above earlier, and couldnt get it to work (prob cause I didnt replace the words exactly correctly). I am guessing that i am entering this in the correct place though (ie - create new sequence, and got into the script editor box)

  • How can I make the first page of a PDF load before the whole file on a website

    I work for a company that loads they brochures in PDF format on their website and the PDF's were formerly created in Indesign and converted.
    When the files were  viewed on the website, the first page loaded right away while the others loaded. Now I have created an interactive PDf with buttons in Fireworks, but when I convert the file to PDF and load it on the web, the first page does not load until the whole file loads which is about 5MB.
    My employer likes the buttons and interactivity, but does not want teh customer sitting there for a few minutes looking at an empty screen while the whole file loads to view.
    Does anyone know what I mean? I could use some help.
    Thanks!

    Make sure that fast web view is enabled.

  • Extracting the first page from all pdf's in a folder and save them to a new file

    Hi,
    As Bridge apparantly is unable to create a decent-looking PDF from a bunch of other PDF's, we're looking for alternative solutions. The problem is, that I haven't done much scripting in Acrobat.
    Pseudocode:
    Select Folder where PDF files are stored
    Create list of PDF files
    Get first page from each and add it to temporary new PDF
    Save temporary new PDF in high quality
    Would that be possible in Acrobat? And where would I start? I can't even find a Scripting Guide for Acrobat (like the ones for Illustrator and InDesign).. and there seems to be no sample scripts included either :-(
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    This can be done using a combination of an Action and a script. The script in the Action will collect the paths of the files you want to process and the folder-level script will extract the first page from each file and generate a new PDF from it. You don't need a plugin for this task, so you don't really need the SDK.
    The Acrobat JavaScript Reference can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html

  • Master Page: Alternatives (Subform Set) works only for the first page

    Hi everybody!
    I have bumped into a very weird problem with ADOBE Forms:
    When I create an 'Alternative' in a Context area and then place it on a Master Page, it works only for the first page. On the rest of pages it always show the 'TRUE' subform, regardless of the condition (which is not changed, of course). Absolutely the same Alternative works perfectly in a Content area for all pages.
    Has anybody seen something like this? Any ideas why?
    Thank you!

    This happens because of the processing of the form.
    You can see this here:
    LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
    You have to put a own variable, which is set with the value you want in the very beginning.
    I know, it is not that logical in the first moment, but it makes sense.

  • When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically  reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

    recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
    I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
    print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

    Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

  • How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

    When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

    I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
    When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
    With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
    When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
    When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
    My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
    Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
    Thanks again for the response.

  • Why can I only forward the first page of file?

    When I try to forward a PDF file from my Mac it will only send the first page and it is not in file form.

    Pretty sure that's it with a Mac. It just shows the cover page (page 1) in the body of the email.
    When the receiver gets it, they should see the rest.

  • How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

    How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

    Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
    There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.
