Use iPhoto '05 as a general media organizer
Authored by: kirkmc on Jan 22, '05 04:02:36AM

Slightly off-topic, but if it turns you on you can also store PDFs in iPhoto. It may seem like a waste of time (and with Spotlight in Tiger it probably will be), but you can search for them quickly and see the first page of any PDF. If you have lots of PDFs, this can be a good organizational method.

Then again, you can organize PDFs in iTunes too, now...

iPhoto '05 with large collections
Authored by: Spiritman on Jan 22, '05 10:05:44PM

I have 15,000 photos in iPhoto4.....any of you convert large librarys to 5 yet? Problems? Export function on 4 is buggy giving warnings of " not enough disk space" or " file is busy" but sometimes it does work......has that been improved on several hundred file export?

thanks

PDF is one of the few formats NOT supported in iPhoto. It's a real pity too, because the only way you can save a book layout (besides printing it on paper) is to Print>Save to PDF.
So, no making slideshows using the cool book layout themes.

I do it anyway, but it involves 3 extra tedious steps or some scripting involving saving to pdf, then breaking the pdf into individual pages, then using Preview to export as JPEG, then importing back into iPhoto.

Any scripter want to take a shot at making one script to automate the whole process?
