Way to save .epub file in iBooks Author?

Is there a way to save a .epub file through iBooks Author?

Not one that anyone but Apple uses, no, sorry.
Use Pages, instead.

Epub file for ibooks

Is it possible to upload the epub file which was made by other software program.
For example, I had samsung computer, then i made epub file with eBook stylist 1.0 Beta. and tranfer it to Mac Book Pro and upload it using iTunes producer??
Is there anyone who had successful story??
and If you are, what program did you use for epub file??
If nobody were there, is this only way to make epub file using the ibook author??

Yes, I did try to upload my epub file on ibooks store, but it was failed with this messages.
- Apple’s web service operation was not successful
-Unable to authenticate the package: Mind.itmsp
So, i was searching for solving this problem on Apple Support Communities .
but there was no exact answer to solve this problem.
I made this epub file using ebook stylist with my samsung computer and transfer this file to my friend's Mac Pro.
then had the failed results like above.
I used this epub file when I uploaded it on amazon kindle and google play which mean they have no problem on its own.
Is there any successful story to upload the epub file which was made with other software program without Mac?
I'd like to figure it out what the problem is.
Thank you.

Video files in ibook author

Hi there, i am working on ibook author and I cannot add some of my quicktime video files, i get an error that says file type not supported, ive tried adding it as a widget, dragging it onto the work area as well as importing a media file
Nazneen

From iBooks Author Help "With the Media widget, you can add a video file with the extension .m4v (H.264)..." I suspect you are using a different format. Go to Help type in video and see what your options are. All the best. - Fabe

Is there any way to SAVE this file?

Is there any way to save this file from the federal reserve website? If so, what version of acrobat do I need?
http://www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/PrivacyNotice_NoAffil_NoOptOut.pdf
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

If you enter any field information, the modified document cannot be saved with Adobe Reader. It does not have the necessary usage rights applied. You can save with a different PDF viewer that supports forms, such as Acrobat or Foxit Reader.

When I drag pdf files into iBooks Author, the background in the pdf file changes into the colour of my book (brown/beige)?

Hi,
when I drag a pdf file (when working in Preview) into iBooks Author, the background colour in the pdf file changes into the background colour of the book.
This happens not consistently, sometimes the background of the pdf file does not change (and stays white), sometimes it's like the text in the pdf file is 'lifted' of the file, and put on the page in iBooks Author (with a brown/beige background).
All the pdf files are scanned pdf's, nothing comes out of Pages, Word, Excel,...
Anybody?
Thanks a lot!
Wouter

I have the same question (posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25644741#25644741).
I believe this is because the PDFs have transparent backgrounds. As far as I can tell, the only way to fix it is to export the PDF as another file, such as an image file. Or perhaps convert it to Word and import it that way.

Backing up .epub files from iBooks

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to back up your iBooks .epub files? They're not purchased eBooks, rather, they're fanfiction downloaded from fanwork archive like http://archiveofourown.org/ (if you check the works, there's a neat little link where you can download the .epub and open them in your iBooks). I've got some two hundred files saved in my current iPad. I'm planning on buying a new iPad soon.
Does this mean I'd lose all the .epub files I have in my current iPad?
Is there a way of creating a back-up of these files so I could download them into my new iPad?
Thanks in advance.

If they are in the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to copy them over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - that should copy epubs and PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks.

Can't Save as Template in iBooks Author 2.1.2

I've only just now tried to save as template in this version. This is what it used to do:
Replace the .iba extension with .ibatemplate.
Change to the iBooks Author Templates folder so that you can save there.
Now it doesn't do either of these. When you select File > Save as Template..., it presents the folder where the .iba file has been saved and does not change the extension.
Manually changing the extension and putting it in the templates folder gives it a generic Pages document icon in the Template Chooser. However, it can be opened as a template through this dialog. The title of the document is Untitled, just like it would be if a template were chosen.
Has anyone else seen this?
I have lodged a bug.

Thanks both Arnis and Mike --
Interesting suggestions from both of you.
Arnis, we're putting the cleanup utility on the back burner for the moment, since in our company, we can get in trouble using third-party software. However, it's good to know about this utility and we will use if it we have to. (Occcasionally we are forced to put our careers on the line for issues like this...)
Mike, we created a folder called "PDFSettings" in the 7.2 "fminit" folder and copied over the six joboptions files from 9.0. Rebooted, rePDFed and voila, that worked. (Mind you, we can't say for sure that's what worked, because as I said in my original post, the simple act of rebooting "sometimes works, sometimes not...")
Eventually this problem will go away by itself because eventually we will get rid of 7.2 -- it's only deadline time-crunches that have made us reluctant to jump fully-clothed into 9.0...
I really appreciate the two of you taking your time to offer suggestions and help. I can't imagine life in the FrameMaker world without you!
Cheers,
Gay

Email epub files to iBooks

I don't have an iPad yet, and am considering getting one. I was reading a few blogs online last night and saw one (and can't now find it) that mentions that it's possible to email non-DRM ePub files to yourself and then open those files in iBooks (circumventing iTunes). Can anyone with an iPad try this out for me? I suspect it's bunk, but it's worth knowing for sure before I shell out cash. I'd much prefer to have some way of reading books on the iPad without having to go through iTunes.

Yes, they transfer to the iPad but on my iPad they do not auto-transfer to iBooks for reading nor do they open in QuickLook. They can, however, be copied to my GoodReader app, but will not open there either as it is not "billed" as an ePUB reader. On the other hand, other eBook alternative formats such as HTML (htm) and PLAIN TEXT (txt) public domain files can be opened in QuickLook or transferred GoodReader and read by that application. Whether or not the GoodReader transfer option is overriding a similar option for iBooks transfers has not been tested.

Is there a way to create drop caps in iBooks Author?

Is there a way to create initial drop caps in iBooks Author?

Great, drop caps work, thanks.
I wanted to kern them back (I can't help myself) and I found that if I put a space after the box and then kerned the space back, it worked visually. Do you think that will cause issues down the road? It previewed ok.
Also if I make the boxes too tight, again to make it more typographically pleasing, may I have issues later if people increase or decrease the font size?
I don't have an iPad yet so I can't check it that way. If something previews, will it run?
thanks

Any one having problems inserting Pages files into iBook author"

Ever since I updated the Pages a week ago, iBook Author is unable to read Pages files while attempting to insert. Never had a problem in previous versions of Pages or files created a few months ago. The only work around is to copy text and past into new sections in iBook Author. Tedious. Any solution appreciated.

I found a work around. Exported to Word from Pages 5.0.1 then inserted into IBA.
Very useful info!
I ran some tests with a new Pages 5 doc saved in both Pages 5 format and exported to Pages 09 format, and iBA had no problem importing them. So perhaps the problem is confined to older docs.

HT3775 Using .flv files with iBooks Author

Hi
Does anybody know how to convert .flv files to work within iBooks Author?
Thanks
Julian D

My solution may not be the most technical but it works. We use a combination of iWeb, dreamweaver and straight code on our site. We lay a graphic in where the flash is going to go then we replace the code with the flash player. You have to make sure the flash is in a div and is identified as a object.

Best way to save illustrator files to place in Indesign

Hello,
I have played with many options. but can someone tell me the best way to save an illustrator file, so I can place it InDesign and it will print faster yet still hold true to quality and color?
Is it .ai, eps, pdf, tiff, or .png ..I didn't like .gif, or jpeg.....
The place time and print time is brutal in InDesign and when I a create PDF file the redraw in acrobat is terrible, if they were placed .ai files.
So just looking for the best case scenario to have faster printing and placing in InDesign and no redraw in PDF files.
Just looking for some guidance and advise.
thanks!

Hello,
What exactly is that flattening doing? I see it puts everything in one layer...is that all it does?
When I place them in InDesign, the performance is about the same and when I make the PDF, they still rebuild there.
Are there any options for flattening, or just the flatten from the layers menu?
maybe I am missing something.
thanks!!
babs
Flattening is not just a reference to layers, it is a reference to transparency effects (opacities, soft masks such as drop shadows, and blend modes). Flattening makes a mess of the file. If you don't have to flatten, don't.
If you do have to flatten, do it from InDesign. This means placing the native Illustrator file saved with PDF compatibility (default behavior)
Again, never flatten unless you have to, and save it for last. If you don't need to flatten, output from InDesign using PDF/X-4. When you preserve transparency, output time is sped up considerably, and you don't end up with stitching artifacts (white lines) in the PDF.
