If you can see your print ready file it worked.

 

You should see a message that the print ready file has been made as it completes.

Re: I can't publish

I am having problems getting files to upload.  I have published and bought a copy for editing. After I made changes to my files and am ready to upload the final files it won't take them.  I even tried to start all over with a whole new ISBN and all because I thought maybe the changes were too much to retain the old one. That project will not hold the 6x9 sizing it keeps reverting to 8 1/2 x 11 which is not what I want, but it won't upload anyway either.  I am so frustrated.

Re: I can't publish

What is your base document page size?

What is your PDF page size?

What is your Lulu book page size?

They all have to be the same.

Re: I can't publish

All my pages are set at 6x9.  I did try to start allover with a new project because I thought maybe the changes were too much to keep the same ISBN.  That project will not save 6x9  I put i6x9 in on that project and then when I get to the page to upload files it says 8 1/2 x 11. When I go back to check it the 8 1/2 x 11 is highlighted, I change it to 6x9, save and continue and repeat endlessly.

Re: I can't publish

This is funny because it is pretty much what I did.  I walked away for a while, went back put the files on a flash drive and took them to another computer (desk) instead of my laptop.  Everything uploaded like a dream.  Same files just put them on a different computer.  I have no idea why it worked, but it did (magic) and I have a finished book. I order quite a few copies for all my fans (friends and family) that read the first one and are clamoring for this sequel.  Yay!
