I am submitting my first book to Lulu. I am very familar with Kindle/Amazon printing.
My text book is 300 pages and would have passed Amazon but Lulu says
font too small 5pt
images less than 200 pixels per inch
I do not believe I have used any fonts less that 12pt but the notice gives no indication where the error is.
There is no indication where the images falls below the 200 suggestion. I have literally hundreds of images in my document.
Is there a way for Lulu to help me find the errors so I can make the corrections
Please help
Rod

How did you create your book?
How did you create the images?
How did you create the PDF?
What size is your book?
Screen shots of some pages and the cover may help us.
If you get really stuck I’ll happily take a look at it for you.

Just throwing this out there, I'm not that familiar with Word, cheapskate that I am I use Open Office. When you save or export your word document to PDF, is there a setting, a button or check box, that maximizes quality, or print resolution? Just grasping here.

My thoughts would be with the PDF.
It might overcome Lulu’s problems if you can use Adobe Acrobat.

Print a PDF in the PDFx1a setting. It will convert all your images. Upload that to Lulu. You can download trial version of Adobe Pro 9 or 10. |

I did download the trial version Adobe pro, was successful if doing the conversion and Lulu accepted the updated version..... Thank you.
I am interested in the spiral-bound but that option was not available with any of the other options. Any suggestions why [book size 319 pages at 8.5 by 11.
