One piece book cover

[burbette123]

I have published 10 books each time using sucessfully the old 2 piece cover and designing the cover myself. However for the eleventh I wanted to use the one piece advanced. I used the sizes given to me by Lulu and then converted the cover to a PDF file but every time I uploaded I was told my points were wrong.  In the end I used the old two piece cover and uploaded the front and back. However the spine remained white. It was OK but I would have preferred the same colour spine. The book is A4 size. Where am I going wrong?

How many pages in your book Betty?

Hi Ken

I just finished my cover design and now I can't find where on this site to go to upload the file.  I had it yesterday, but it is not anywhere I can find today.  Can you help please?

Robert,
Revise the project.
Step thro' to the Cover stage
Select use Advanced One Piece Cover, wait a moment for the page to load and the upload your PDF.

Betty,
If you make your cover 432.0mm x 303.4mm or 5103px x 3583px it should be fine.
It should produce a PDF 17.01"x11.94"

I try to avoid making the cover in point sizes and always make mine in mm or px.

I hope this might help.

If not you could always me your draft cover.

Thanks Ken it worked! strangely only with JPG it wouldn't work with the same size PDF file.

Betty,
I wonder if you could email me a copy of the PDF so that I can investigate.

Reply to the original question, there is a color selection for the spine. You click on it and it gives a color circle that you select from (OKAY! From which you select! Sheesh!).
