Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
Maybe it's a function of the way the manual was downloaded and saved but I downloaded the manual, reviewed it in Preview in OSX and then saved it. All those pages have images using iBooks on my iPad.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
Ron, The bmp images all show up in iBooks, but the jpegs do not for the most part. For example, the images on the cover page and pages 10, 11, 13, 22, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 45 are missing.

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
All the images in the P3 manual, other than the "screen shots", are originally jpg's -(not jpg2000). The jpg is dropped into a vector drawing program to add the arrows, callouts, etc., and that is converted into the final jpg that is inserted into the manual. The screen shots that do not have any callouts are BMPs captured using the P3 utility and dropped straight into the manual. They were not converted to jpgs. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- I agree that GoodReader is generally better than iBooks for reading pdf's on an iPad, but Giuseppe's discovery applies to GoodReader too. Not all images in the P3 manual display on the iPad, and saving a new version of the pdf from Preview makes everything show up, though the difference is invisible on a Mac. It's not every image that causes problems, though, as if they were created in more than one program and assembled from several sources. Which makes sense. So, many of the manuals are probably completely ok, and you will find problems only when your iPad version has a blank area that should have an image or figure in it.

[Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
HI Giuseppe, I have found that GoodReader works much better for PDF's than iBooks. I am displaying the K3 Owners manual with all of its pictures as we speak. -- Thanks Jon KG6VDW __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
Solved the bug! It's a sorde code problem. iOS dose not support jpeg2000 compression mode used in many PDF files and perhaps alzo in elecraft mauals files ( didn't checked at the moment ). It seems, as i read on the web, to be good convert the compression mode of PDF file from jpeg2000 to' jpeg through one of the many software on the web. Easier on Mac, just open the file as a preview and save again it with different name.people say it works. I will try something to' l'eroe and will post results for all - Pippo IZ2NYY -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-PDF-manuals-on-iBooks-tp6430105p6433098.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
I'm a novice in this area, so I just offer this up as a possibility. Haven't tried downloading any of the Elecraft manuals into my IPad, but have loaded public domain books from Gutenberg. In reading about how to do this I found that the EBF (electronic book format) strips all graphics and only leaves words. That is fine for what I wanted, but for a manual you would certainly want the graphics. Was there some kind of format choice when you loaded the pdf manual into iBooks? If so, selecting EBF isn't probably a good choice. I'm also interested in the answer to this as I also want to eventually put my Elecraft manuals into my Ipad. 73 Craig AC0DS __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
Hy Ron, i agree with you. Nothing strange with the images, but i can perfectly see the PDF files with all the images on my pc and no images in the same file on iPad Sure it's a problem of iBooks, and i'm searching for someone if exists Who solved the bug!

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] PDF manuals on iBooks
I have the same problem, but not with all the Elecraft manuals. I notice it with the P3 manual but not the K3 manual. It seems to be a problem with iBooks, as the images are fine in Adobe PDF reader.

There's nothing unusual about the images in those PDF's Giuseppe. Can you see images in PDF files from other sources?
