Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module

Lightroom stalls on trying to export from the book module to either PDF or Blurb. Progress bar at the top left just shows "Exporting book...rendering cover.untitled DNG". I have even tried a single page low resolution book but no difference. This happened in Lightroom 4 and still after upgrading to Lightroom 5. I have tried I have tried also unchecking all the background options.

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File. 
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

  • Unable to export from the Book Module in LR-4.4 to Blurb, PDF and JPEG

    I have made a book in the book module and was really looking forward to send it to Blurb for printing. I push the "Send book to Blurb... " button but nothing happens. I have tried to export to PDF and JPEG aswell, but nothing. I am Connected to internet, I have an account at Blurb but no reaction. Are there any settings I have missed or are there any bugs that prevents me from exporting? Do Blurb ship to Norway or is that the problem? Please help!!!

  • Exporting from the book module as a jpeg spread?

    I just spent half a day designing my first book in LR 4. I completed the book a few minutes ago, and it was only then that I realized I don't seem to be able to export as a Jpeg or as a spread--only as a PDF, and then only single pages, so each spread is chopped in half.
    Can this really be true?If so I am beyond disapointed. LR is supposed to be a pro tool and this book module seems to be acting more like a consumer tool. If I am correct, then the entire module is basically useless to me and I have wasted half a days work, as I'll have to begin all over again in a new program.
    Can someone please make my day by proving me wrong? This is just such a letdown!

    Thanks--I am on LR 4.1, and I do now see the ability to export as Jpegs. YAY!
    Incidently, on the pages that I have used the 'two page spread' template, I am getting exports as a single spread. All others are single pages as you indicate. My plan, once the client approves of the design, is to import them into PS and manually past them together as a single spread.
    An extra step that I hope future versions of LR will eliminate!

  • My (saved) book totally disappeared from the Book module in Lightroom

    Dear +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom,
    I have been working for the past 100 hours or so on a 200+ page book in the book module in LR4.
    Went to work on a second book that I had just begun to organize and came back to a full filmstrip (including the usage numbers showing me that all of the images had been used including a tiny 2 for a cover image) and the 4 blank pages we all see upon starting a project.
    My entire book was gone. Poof!
    I'm surprised you didn't hear my scream all the way in San Jose.
    This couldn't be...I had officially saved the book several weeks ago when I first began it and had been working on it steadily ever since.
    (For the record, I am working on a Mac OS X v10.7.5 and updated LR to v4.2.)
    I can't begin to tell you the sick feeling over losing this amount of work.
    I went to your LR forums to see if this was unique to me (Did I inadvertently hit a button I shouldn't have?)
    I have always felt very confidant in LR's "saving" and "backup" abilities. Now I am devastated and have lost total confidence.
    Do I try again in LR or move to another program?
    So a friend helped me find these:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4303611
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4322352
    (Which I've read very thoroughly and tried everything suggested.)
    When I opened my most recent backup of LR, all the text was missing and many of the images were in color (this is a book of monochrome imagery)
    Huh?
    When I went into my Time Capsule backups, same thing.
    No text and many images were reset to original RAW files as if no post-processing had been done.
    Huh? (Again)
    The thing that is genuinely unsettling is Adobe's lack of response to the issues expressed in the forums.
    Surely the book making ability is an important one to your audiences?
    Did I mention how sick I am over this?
    So my question is this...can you help me? Can anyone there help me?
    Because I really need help right now and don't want to lose confidence in a company that has always provided me with the tools I make my living from.
    Or should I put this out publicly.
    Right now I want to scream "Do not under any circumstances make a book using the book module in LR 4 until this devastating issue is addressed!!!"
    (Fortunately, I have over 2,000,000 followers here on Google+ but not to worry...many do not speak English or know Adobe as anything more than material used to build huts.)
    I am trying to stay reasonable. But again, I am very concerned over the lack of responsiveness on Adobe's part. Perhaps that will help get this problem addressed. Or more importantly, help a few other creative folks avoid how absolutely devastated I feel right now.
    (Big *******' sigh)
    Please respond. Please.

  • Uploading a book (from the book module) to the web module

    Hello!
    I just finished my first wedding album in the Lightroom 4 book module (yay!) now I would like to be able to upload the book via the web module so that my clients can approve it, but when I move to the web module, it seems to only upload the individual images--not the page layouts.
    Is there a work around?
    Thanks!
    Ellen

    Oho! I see that! How did I miss that!
    John--you have save my you-know-what today!!! THANK YOU!
    OK--one last question since you seem to know everything--can I export the jpegs as a spread (ie--page 1 and 2 on a single 12" x 24" jpeg for 12" x12" book) Or do I need to import the jpegs back into photoshop and lay them together manually...does that make sense?
    And thanks again for all your help today.

  • Printing PDF from LR4 Book Module

    I am having a difficult time getting accurate color when printing a PDF Book file genetrated by the Book Module in LR4.
    I've tried exporting the PDF with a Pro Photo profile, but when I open the file and try and print in Adobe Reader I can't figure out how to select an approriate output paper profile as is done in LR or Photoshop.  Doesn't seem to be a way to tell Adobe Reader to manage the color.  I can turn off having the printer manage the color in the Adobe Reader printer dialog screen, but have no idea what profile Adobe Reader is using when it sends the file to the printer.  I get somewhat accurate color but well off that produced by a direct LR4 print.
    I've also tried exporting the PDF from the Book Module with the appropriate printer/paper profile chosen as the "Color Profile" (e.g. Canon iPF8300 Premium Semi-Glossy paper 2 280 (high)) and then printing from Adobe Reader with color management turned off in the printer and get decent color but still does not match up with the accurate colors produced by LR4 or CS5 using the same paper profile.  My guess is Adobe Reader is not just passing the file on but is changing something before sending to my iPF8300 printer.
    Is there a more color aware program I can use to print these PDF's?  Am I missing something really obvious here?
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
    Conrad

    When you open Lightroom and go to the Book Module the first time, it must do two things:
    1. The Book module has a more sophisticated text engine than the other modules and it must load fonts that are installed on the system into memory. The more fonts on your system the greater the potential delay.
    2. To a greater extent, when you first open the Book module, all of the page-templates must load into memory for access. Once loaded, they do not need to be loaded again until you close Lightroom.
    No matter how much processor or Ram you have will not appreciably affect these two operations. They are purely disk-read operations and are primarily limited by your disk data path.
    Map Module requires interface with the internet to access Maps.
    Web and Slideshow can be sped up by not having large numbers of available images standing by to render. Keeping the toolbar set to "Selected Images Only" rather than "All Filmstrip Images" helps this.

  • I've edited my NEF photos in lightroom and have tried to export to a formatted CD. When I try, I have several issues. I either see in the top left corner that the files are ready to go to CD but there is no further instruction or I get the pop up message

    I've edited my NEF photos in lightroom and have tried to export to a formatted CD. When I try, I have several issues. I either see in the top left corner that the files are ready to go to CD but there is no further instruction or I get the pop up message that the files are offline or missing??

    Just for background, in what format are you exporting your images?  Also, are you able to export them to your hard drive in your chosen format?  I haven't tried exporting directly to CD, but if you're able to export to hard drive and copy to CD, that may be one solution.

  • Export of the book from Lightroom to blurb, issue with Backgrounds ' opacitty = overexposed

    Hello, 
    I have Mac book Pro last generation.
    While preparing the book with Lightroom, I used new proposed tool that I found very useful , to place photos as background with different type of opacity. After upload to Blurb some of these backgrounds have disappeared at all and some have very bright color (overexposed) , so I am afraid to launch the print . After export into Pdf, everything works correctly.
    Please find enclosed  two obvious examples, two print screens of pfd file and 2 prinscreent from the ecvivalent of  the book Hylem & Mourad wedding at elyseephoto blurb page page 28, 42, 43(i add print screen also).
    Please help me to solve the issue, maybe there are some installation to correct for the graphic backgrounds? Are there minimum opacity level?
    Thank you in advance for your quick answer.
    Kind regards,
    Anna Akoun

    In the top right hand corner of the Book Module under <Book > change from <PDF> to Blurb.
    With Blurb selected you will get lo-res warnings when the resolution is too low. Later on you can change back to <PDF>.
    See screen shot:
    You would not get a lo-res warning if you used original images from your camera. But if you either use small JPGs, or you crop an image severely and then use it for a full page image, the image will be too small to be used.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'.

    Hi I have downloaded compressor4 from Apps store but it won't open - says compressor not properly installed. The reason for my purchase was that compressor 3 stopped working. I tried to reinstall from the FCP disk but it was 'greyed out'. I followed suggestions from the apple site to clear various library files - mainly relating to Qmaster but this didn't make any difference, an iwonder igf perhaps this is the reason for the compressor 4 programme not working.

    You need to export a self-contained video from FCP 6. Import the self-contain video into Compressor 4.

    If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
    Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.

    And, for the OP:
    It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and  properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
    This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
    A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

  • Multiple CSV exports from the one button or pl/sql procedure?

    I need to have multiple csv exports from the one press of a button. The easiest way I found to do this is it to use javascript to popup three windows, each as a CSV link. This is a bit ugly though, and leaves the browser popup windows open when the file has been downloaded.
    I guess I could also make a solution based on branching, but I think that would be difficult to maintain and reeks of bad design (im not a fan of this spagetti GOTO style code!).
    I implemented Scott's custom CSV as found here: http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
    However I would like to know if its possible to download more than one file using this method. I could not work out how to do this .
    Has anyone got any ideas? Simply repeating the code puts the second table into the original csv file. Is there a way to 'reset' the htp writer or smoething?
    Any help greatly appreciated,
    Alex

    Sorry for the confusion - I guess I mean its easy in .NET because you can simply compress files together and then send 1 zip file down as the response. See http://www.developer.com/net/net/article.php/11087_3510026_2 for details.
    I guess I could ask how to do this in APEX - but it seems to me that my original wording addresses the concept at a much more abstract level. I may not find the best solution for my problem if I just asked 'how can I dynamically zip together three tables as seperate files and send them to the client?'. I also suspect that this method is not possible in APEX without custom packages. Please prove me wrong!
    I guess even if I could find some kind of javascript that didnt open a new window, but was a direct download to the CSV, that would be a good compromise. At the moment when you click on the link, three windows come up and stay blank until the files are ready for downloading. Then after the files have been downloaded the windows must be shut manually. Yes, I could use javascript to make the windows 1x1 pixel perhaps, and then shut them after a predetermined timeframe - but this is hardly an elegant solution!
    Thanks for your responses.
