Can not rearrange pages in Revise status.

I don't know what my problem is, but i am not able to rearrange my pages in the Make a Revision status.  I need to replace two pages of my book and when I download the new pages and delete the old pages, my new pages are at the bottom of my list, out of sync.

 

Any suggestions?

You have to do it in the original file and re-upload it via Revise. Assuming you used one file in the first place, if not then you are supposed to be able to drag the files around.

Thank you for the reply. I'll just keep trying.  It's probably a simple little something that I'm not getting right.  Thanks again

Are you uploading a single file or a number of separate page files?.

Make sure you delete the old files first. A file with the same name will not overwrite an existing file.

Thank you.  I'll try that.  I am downloading page by page.  I have several attempts on file.  I have retired a few of my attempts.  I can not delete those files.

Try using another Web Browser. That may help.

Re: Can not rearrange pages in Revise status.

I still can not move those suckers.  OK, I'll try another webbrowser.

Another question.  For the life of me, I can't figure out why page 15 and page 17 of my book (illustrations)  show up as black X-Ray type pictures in my book preview and the actual LuLu printed page, and it looks perfectly normal  when I vew my files at home in my album and in "My Files" on LuLu  .

Re: Can not rearrange pages in Revise status.

I think you mean uploading, but are you trying to delete files from your Lulu My Files folders? (And possibly upload to there as well?) If so, and they have been used, you cannot.
Also, the test is the PR PDF the Wizard creates as to if your files work.

Re: Can not rearrange pages in Revise status.

It sounds to me like the best method you may want to try is combining all of the files you need to upload into 1 file.

I like to make my entire interior just one file using Word (or your favorite writing program), including pictures, and then convert to PDF. What Lulu gets is what Lulu prints.

Just remember that if you are not doing a book with full color printing any pictures you have on the interior will be printed in black and white. Unfortunately Lulu does not have an option for combining black and white printing with color photos.

Re: Can not rearrange pages in Revise status.

Thanks, yes I mean upload. I will try renaming my document. then it won't recognize it as the same one that I keep trying to upload, right? I also resized the documents to a smaller dpi. Perhaps the document was too large and appeared X-Ray-ish.
