Hi all, have been trying without any success to load my book on the Lulu site. It is an A4 landscape book. The text is no problem and loads straight away, but it is the cover dimensions. I load my cover, but it states it is wrong and sends me the dimensions for an A4 portrait. I therefore cant continue to validate the book. Any ideas what I am doing wrong please? I have tried to load it in books and photo books, but with the same results. Many thanks for reading, Mark.

Try this quick test. Download the blank Cover Template PDF Lulu creates for you on your Project page then Upload that file straight back in as the Cover for your Project.
If Lulu accepts this then you know the problem lies at your end and you will need to look to how you are sizing and creating your Cover.
If Lulu does not accept their own unchanged Template PDF as a valid Cover then this is a problem at Lulu's end and you need to make them aware of it and have it fixed,
Don't worry about Uploading a dummy Cover, you can overwrite it with the correct one later.

You are not alone with cover problems since the Lulu update, see this lulu.boards.net/thread/645/cover-wizard or this lulu.boards.net/thread/343/feeling-old-files?page=2 |

I have tried to load it in books and photo books, but with the same results. Many thanks for reading, Mark. potty5, I was having the same problem. My cover was constantly being rejected. After I made a cover I used "save as PDF" that didn't work and then I tried the free 995 converter with no success. So for my all-in-one cover I downloaded the template and made it a jpg in Paint Shop Pro (one can use any similar programme) then I used the free online "Adobe converter to PDF." I found this worked really well for covers for Lulu. At last my cover was accepted. I have successfully made 3 books on Lulu since the update. Good Luck, |
