I have created a helpdesk ticket for the problem I am having but have not received any reply yet, so thought to try and share it here. My interior file had pages in both portrait and landscape, which Lulu does not allow. So I used Foxit pdf Editor to rotate the landscape pages. But when I try uploading I get an error saying that the page sizes or orientation is not the same. Link to file. Any ideas on what the problem could be? |

Have you tried fixing the orientation issue in the original file then converting to PDF? |

I've encountered this issue before. Go into source file, select all, change document size. If it blocks you it means some of your images are too wide. You must manually shrink each landscape image to, say, 5.5 width to fit within the 6x9 book margin, or 8 width for an 8.5x11 book. Then select all, resize document, print PDF same size. |

There was too much info in the tables to do them in portrait which is why I used landscape instead. If I change the page orientation of those pages back to portrait then the tables don't fit on the page anymore and everything goes off. And I'm not sure how to rotate a table in Word, if that is even possible. That's why I tried the method I described above, which was quick and easy. To redo all the tables will be too time consuming for me right now. I was thinking off taking a screenshot of each table, then changing the orientation to portrait, then pasting the images and rotating them. This will be quicker than retyping all the tables. But how would I ensure that the quality of the pictures would be good enough for print? |

Thanks for the reply, but I think we are misunderstanding one another. There are no images in the book. Only text, some of which is in tables. See my reply above. |

But how would I ensure that the quality of the pictures would be good enough for print? When it comes to print formats you have three choices, square, portrait, or landscape.
If your tables won't fit a portrait format, then you have to use the appropriate square or landscape size.
You've indicated your tables need landscape orientation, so you need to use your original file and make it all landscape, then produce a PDF to upload.

Noorun, what Cameron said. You still have to do the leg work. It's painful but worth it. |

Using Adobe Acrobat one can change the orientation of individual pages in a an already created PDF.
Right-click in the PDF and select Rotate Pages... from the right-click menu. ... Within the Rotate Pages dialogue box that appears, select the direction of the rotation using the drop-down menu provided. Clockwise and Counter-clockwise will rotate the page(s) by 90 degrees. Invert will rotate your selection by 180 degrees.
I have read that this can also be done with doPDF but I have no personal experience of that.
You may find someone here willing to do the conversion for you.
