Using PDF files in books

Does anyone know how I can use PDF files when creating Iphoto books? I am doing various photo books and want to add a few image/design pdf's to the book.

Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.

IPad2... after synch with my Mac, I now have numerous duplicates of the same PDF files in Books. Can't select them to delete them. Can't move them. Any suggestions?

Hi sdfulbright,
Open iTunes, and under View, select "Show Sidebar". The old sidebar you are used to will show up, and everything will work the way it did under the old iTunes.
Hope this helps!

PDF files in Books, can we create Folders?

So I downloaded itunes 9.2 and noticed there was no PDF help in the help section.... figured out that you just drag PDF files to itunes and they automatically get placed in iBook.... now here's the thing I have huge collections of magazines in PDF format that I would love to stick onto my iPad once ios4 comes out but I noticed that each magazine takes up it's own icon and pushes off all my other book titles if it's a large collection... I'm hoping/guessing that you'll be able to create separate folders for these collections... can anybody using the beta version confirm this or anyone from the forum?

There are many pdf readers you can use to read such things on the iPad now, without waiting for ios4. Whether iBooks will be better at reading your pdfs than the current readers you will just have to test for yourself.
can anybody using the beta version

Using PDF files for items rather than .png.

Hi there
We have been looking into improving iBook production. We have a few books that feature elements that are comprise of a background image with text over the top. As the text isn't in an iPad-friendly font (I.e. not in iOS) and it doesn't have to be searchable. Previously, the items have been produced individually either in Illustrator or Photoshop. The main 'problem' with this is the plethora of file it creates, and the huge amount to time taken to apply style changes across all the separate items, save, re-import into iBA, and re-apply all the iBA-specific attributes.
In an effort to speed up production somewhat, we have been trying to create these items in InDesign, using style sheets etc to give standardised appearance across all the items, and then drag and drop into iBA. The advantage is that all the separate items are in one document, and all style changes can be instantly applied to all items instantaneously, saving time, space, and effort.
It places them as PDFs, and after unzipping the .iba file, the PDFs look fine, with pin-sharp text (as you'd expect, as PDF text would be vector data. Similarly, when you zoom in to the items in iBA, the text is still pin-sharp.
However, once the iBA is previewed on a iPad, the text goes a little blurry. As one of the fonts is a dot-matrix-type font, the effect is noticeable - all the dots blur together into a line.
Does anyone have any idea as to what is happening to the PDF between iBA and the iPad? Does it rasterise it at some point?

Hi Ken
'What leads me think it would?', well the fact that it worked, and looks ok. The iBook previews fine and works fine on the iPad.
We initially came up with the idea when we 'unzipped' an .iba file (you know, changing the .iba extension to .zip, then unarchiving the contents), and found that iBA itself had created .pdf files for the full-screen photos which appeared rotated and shadowed on the iPad page, but were viewed as straight, unshadowed, images. (the rotated version was the iBA-created PDF file, the full-screen was the original .jpg we pulled into iBA). Naturally, we were surprised. So we started mucking about, and found that drag/drop from ID worked, and looked OK.
As an update to my original post, it appears that the difference in quality was due to the fonts used. Once we opened the .PDFs within the .iba file, we converted the text to outlines, resaved the .pdfs, changed the unzipped folder back to an .iba file, and the font now looks great.
BTW, Is it me, or were you being snippy?

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
Am I simply overlooking something?
Thanks.

oracle reports does not provide this capability. however, the e-business suite provides a tool that might do, what you are looking for ...

EMail Attachments using PDF file

Hi guys
I have developed an application using Oracle 8i and forms 6i. There is a report developed in 6i repors and saved as PDF format. this file I have to send as attachemnts to the employees.

The easiest way (and OS independent, so you don't need Outlook or blat or something like that) is to send the email and attachment from the database. Package utl_smtp won't let you do that, but with Java mail you can. So, after you generated your report, you can mail it using Java mail.
Everything is described very clearly in note 120994.1 on Metalink (How to Send E-mail With Attachments from PL/SQL Using Java Stored Procedures).

Using PDF files with Flash

With Flash Professional 8, can I import or attach a standard
PDF file to a flash document so that it can be downloaded off the
web?

You don't need to, even if you could (which I don't think you
can). Using the getURL() method should provide the access to the
file so that it can be opened and saved.

That's not good at all. Seems like something's broken with the Adobe PDF Reader. Try some other PDF files and if these will not open, too, then you may need to reset the phone.
As for the file associations - there's no built in tool. You may try Y-Browser (Settings -> Associations):
http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
But it will generally not show default ones. It will let you though, to re-set the associations. As said, though, seems that something's wrong with the PDF Viewer.

Using PDF Files in FCE HD

I am editing a presentation for a construction company using a lot of floor plan overviews and then zooming from room to room as they present. They have been giving me PDF files to use. Per there request I had to clean up some items (I used Illustrator CS3) they didn't want. I tested just one PDF file in FCE before I got any deeper into the project and when I zoom in(I need to zoom in quite a bit to show individual sections of this floor plan) the text and images on the file lose their sharpness. Is there a certain file size I should be starting at or do I need to change the file from a PDF to some other format? Oh and the video is not HD.
Any help would be great.
-Jeff

Depending on the size of the most zoomed in section start with an image size three or four times the DV frame size so you never have to scale up the image.

How use pdf files

Hi;
I have the following process : I receive via FTP of the pdf files which are stored on a directory of my server (Tomcat + JOnas). This directory is outwards of the deployment directory of JOnas (work directory) and the pdf files are not inside of war file but uploaded directly on the directory.
I must realized a JSP which display to user these pdf files. So my question how implemented this JSP in using external directory ?
regards;

Don't write a JSP to do that. You will find it almost impossible to keep extra whitespace from being sent to the client along with the PDF, and that will make the PDF unusable at the client.
Instead write a servlet that reads from the external directory and copies the file to the response. You'll have to use (I think) application/pdf as the content type, and there are sometimes other browser-related problems with PDFs.
