Book : ordered preview drops a page

Thanks for the responce.

I tried numbering, the cupcake image is numbered '1' in all versions.

The blank page is unnumbered in Aperture and in the pdf generated from Aperture,

that page is missing in the store preview, this throws off the pagination

so that images which should face each, as shown by Aperture, other do not.

In my case the book is an 8x6 so what is missing is a blank page that is in fact

the back of the cover page, I tried to delete it or to place an image but that is not allowed.

The flap ypu refer to isn't part of the smaller books as they have no dust jacket.

any thoughts

thanks

PS

All the book themes seem to begin with a blank page on the left (back of the cover)

so that opening the book you see two pages the left is blank thee right can have an image

thanks for spending time on this

You're right, no blank page on the reverse of the cover in the store preview

and yes it does immediately start with page #1

The numbers are correct BUT it does not include the blank page

The issue is this ...if it does in fact print this way,

then it does NOT match the design created in Aperture. !!

According to Apertures page thumbnails

Cover followed by

page 0 (the blank) should face page 1

page 2 should face page 3 etc etc

but

store preview shows

cover

no blank page

page 1 faces page 2

page 3 faces page 4 etc

Does it really print this way ?

there is no point in having a book design

that does not print the layout (not just the sequence)

you have spent time deciding on

so I assume I'm missing sometthing ?

D

The flyleaves you refer to would be blank

and therefore the first printed interior page you see

would be a blank left page facing a printed image right hand page, right ?

I get no blank on the preview, therefore everything following is out of sequence

with regards to what page is facing it

thanks again

D

maybe I'll give Apple a call

later

I see your point but the problem is

the preview shows page #1 faceing page #2

if it prints this way it is wrong

if it does not print this way, as you say what is the point of the preview ?

just to ask if the correct images are going to be printed

and hey trust us on the pagination ?

I do appreciate your looking into this

thanks

D

Thanks again

that's what I was thinking .......you're right

Just Updating .....

I called Apple, can't believe they hadn't come across this before

Told them the issue, which they understood having done the remote desktop thing,

They were uncertain, said they would talk to some other people,

try to replicate the issue and would then call me back.

They did call back, the issue was replicated.

They said that having asked around they were sure

that the book would NOT print they way it was presented in the store preview.

' Go ahead and order it, if it prints like the store preview, here's my email we'll sort it out '

The guy was very nice but I can't believe that Apple says

their storer preview does not show how the book will print,

just the sequence of images it will print.

If there are issues inside of a single THAT would print.

thanks

ps

the shipping on this $12.93

8x6 27 page / 14 leaf book

is stanard ( lowest price ) $ 5.99 (46.3 % of the book cost)

or Express ( default ) $10.99 (85 % of the book cost)

is it me or does this shiping charge way too much

The book printed as Aperture displayed it.

It did not print as the store preview displayed it.

The store preview dropped the inside cover page

(which they do not print on) but this throws off the pagination

They should keep the page in the preview and leave it blank

as it will exist but it will be blank.

I can't believe how stupid this is.

Two Apple programs don't match
