Unable to Publish from Book Module LR-4.2 to Blurb

Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Lightroom 4.2
Have not been able to publish to Blurb after creating a book in the Book Module
All images are jpegs and of sufficient resolution to be printed.
Variety of Error messages have occurred. Sometimes the message identifies a specific digital image.
Once at least there was no evidence that an image with the name and number given was in my file.
Using internal hard drives.
Have tried working with Tech from Adobe.
Earlier was also having trouble converting Book Module images to PDF, but for unknown reasons
it worked, but the same file could not be published to Blurb.

I would consider it more simple to copy the images on portable storage space and plug that into the computer you will use for book creating.
First you should go for LR4.3RC, as a heinous bug in book module has been fixed, which is still present in LR4.2 (book being empty all of a sudden).
If you still prefer to work on 2 computers on 1 book: export the saved book=a collection of type book as catalog, including previews and negatives.
Import this partial catalog on the 2nd machine (Import from Another Catalog), because thus collection membership travels along from one catalog to the other.
Then select it and switch to book module.
Export as catalog before you switch computers again.

Unable to publish from Crystal to BO

Hi,
I have some problems when trying to publish from Crystal to BO. I select automatically publish to enterprise option, but I get the follwing error:
"An error occurred while savin and/or publishing. The return code 503 was returned from the server. The given report id is invalid."
If I save without checking that option, there is no problem.
Does anybody know what this could be?
Thanks

Hi Ingo,
regarding the 2 problems you mentioned:
#1 : seeing the reports in /crystal/rptadmin
#2 : CMC
- in the transcation /crystal/rptadmin you have a menu items on the left side called "Publish reports" and below that an item called "Select reports...". When using that you will be asked for the BOE Server to be selected and then you will see the roles and reports on the right hand.
If I do this, I get the following message: 'No reports matched the given selection criteria' I have checked everything, and all the tests are successfully, RFC test and the verify destination.
- on item #2 : do you see the reports in the CMC ? If so in which folder structure ?
If I try to publish through the toolbar I get an error, so the only way to publish to BO is through 'save as' and then I choose the destination, Enterprise and select the folder I want. Under the folder SAP 2.0 I cannot see any folder for none of the roles.
¿Could it be something with the roles?
Thanks

Book Module: Export to PDF and Blurb stops with error at two page spread

I have a 66 page book created in the book module..
When exporting to PDF the export stops with the error:
"An error occurred while saving the book.
There was an error creating the PDF file. "
The same occurs (at the same book page) when exporting to BLURB
"An error occurred while creating the book."
The creation or export always stops at the same page which is a two page spread. Interestingly there is a two-page spread before that didn't throw an error. I tried to move the problem page to the end of the book. That didn't help because the next two page spread in the book throws an error.
Any ideas or help?
Lightroom version: 4.0
Computer: Windows 7, Quadcore, 8 GB RAM

Hi, sorry I do not have a solution but I too have a very similar issue in that the book is the same size but the export to PDF does not start at all
I have tried reducing the image dpi settings. Jpg quality and still nothing
The only success I have had is if I duplicate the book, delete all but 8 pages and then export at full dpi settings of 300 and 100 percent jpg quality
Any more pages and nothing
It's a great tool and would buy it if this feature actually worked. Oh yeah I only have the trial version at the minute to give it a good thorough test
I have looked for solutions but like your query they are all unanswered
Does adobe actually offer any support or is this all user solutions?
Did you find a solution by the way?

Unable to read from FP modules

Hey everyone,
I apologize if this is kind of a broad question, but I'm relatively new to LabVIEW, and especially to FieldPoint, and I was wondering what the most likely causes of read failure are. I was brought in to my current position to finish a project abandoned by a professional developer (who has terrible commenting skills by the way), and due to my inability to decipher some of his code, I decided to start fresh. Yesterday, I was perfectly able to write to the solenoids I needed to, and to read from the proximity switches and pressure meters I needed to. Today, I could do neither, although the original code still operated with proper read/writes.
So what seems like the problem? I'm using FP I/O Points that are directly tied to the hardware in an initialization vi, and I bundle them into usable clusters and pass them between vis. Reads and writes are performed with FP Read and FP Write.
Thanks in advance,
- Jeff

Oh, sorry about the lack of detail. I'm using the LV 8.2 Full Development System, and the .iak is included in the project, so it should automatically associate the programmed FP I/O Points with the proper hardware, shouldn't it? The I/O Points are just dumped into named clusters, if that's what you mean by aliases.
Also, the modules are never powered down that I know of. The modules we're using are as follows:
cFP-180X
FP-DO-403
FP-DO-401
FP-AI-111
FP-DI-304
FP-DI-304
FP-TC-120
I don't know if that makes a difference, but that's the setup.

Unable to publish from iWeb

I have for 2 years successfully set up and managed my web site from my iWeb package. Suddenly I can't publish it any more. I have confirmed that the domain is through mobile me and can publish it to a folder on the desk top, but when trying to publish it to the web, a window just states that "there has been an error publishing" and no explanation!. Can someone tell me if it's me or them? and if it's a quick fix or another drama?

To Apple Discussions!
Suggest that you post in one of the iWeb Forums where the iWeb users hang out.

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.

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

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!!!

Why is Lightroom 5.4 so slow in Publish services and Book module?

I've been using Lightroom 5 for a few months now. I'm using the latest version (5.4) and have been experiencing extremely slow performance in two main areas:
1) When in the Library module and I select (or scroll down to) the Publish services on the left it pauses for 10+ seconds before displaying the valid services. Changing between different services also takes quite a while. I now have the services minimised unless I need them.
2) When in the Book module and I try and change a page layout the first time I select the drop down the cursor changes to a spinning circle for a while. Sometimes it comes up with the dialog saying Lightroom has experienced problems and I can either close it or wait. It usually recovers without any input from me. However, the first time I select the drop down it will close without me being about to select anything. I then have to press it again and wait for the layouts to load before I can scroll through the list. This occurs on every page. It takes probably 10-20 seconds to be able to select a new page layout. Applying the layout is very quick.
I have upgraded my PC from a 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB DDR2 RAM to an I5-4670 with 16 GB DDR3 RAM and not seen much improvement in either area. In both configurations I used an SSD for the application and catalog. The photos are stored on a NAS but this has not shown any performance issues in browsing/editing photos. A review of Task Manager's CPU and RAM loading during these operations does not indicate the CPU or RAM is maxed out. I've never seen the RAM go above ~7 GB used and CPU loading (average across all 4 cores) is usually less than 50%.
Generally the upgraded PC is showing a significant improvement in Lightroom's performance but these two areas are still painfully slow.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues or have any ideas on what I can do to try and improve its performance??
Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,
I got the same issue and I am very frustrated about it.
Its the same thing I experienced in Lightroom 4 and its still not fixed. I cant use the book module because of that. So BLURB is not getting my money. :-(
I am waiting for that fix since more than a year, but Adobe says its a Problem which appears only for a small group of users.
HA HA just do a Google search!!!

Book Module Lightroom 4 -- can I use a color picker to pick a color from a photo to use as the backg

I am trying to match a background color for a page in a Blurb book using the Lightroom 4 Book Module. Is there any way I can use the color picker to pick a color from the photo to use as the color for the background and as the type color? I see the color box for these situations, but the color picker only seems to work with the color array that pops up and doesn't go to the photo. Any suggestions? Am I overlooking something very obvious?

It works for me.
The usual Lightroom way: click the eyedropper onto the color palette first, then hold and drag to your photo to sample color.

How to publish a BOOK from iWeb blog

During 2011 I kept a Blog in iWeb on me.com when my little 7 year old daughter was suffering from liver cancer. the Blog was read and commented by many people. I have been her Living Donor for the liver, and so far she is a "survivor" with sparks in her eys that represent "life".
We have had a lot of support from people that are close to us and I want to thank them all by "publishing" a book from the blog. I kept it on my Macbook wich also still has iWeb on it. I a 'just a user' and not a freak, so I do not have a clue if this is possible to do or just Wishfull thinking. I presume you can never get back to me.com, so the ' web counter' as well as 'feed back' might have been lost, but I sure want to publish this blog in a book. It would be a great gift to thos who supported us and other people that go through this as well, as well as for my little girl Joy, so when she is older she knows what she has been going throug. Is there anyone that could support in the steps I need to undertake to get this done?

To give you an idea what is possible, I used Chrome on my iPad and printed a webpage as pdf to Google Drive with Google Cloudprinter.
This is the webpage :

This is the result :

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.
Regards Alan Shapiro

It states in the iBooks Store that this book can only be read on an iPad or Mac.

Unable to upload iPhoto book to print from iPad

I have been unable to upload my iPhoto book to print it from my iPad...
It will go through the process of requesting apple ID password --> verifying my credit card --> then will say "placing order. uploading project" and look like it is uploading (ie blue bar showing progress) and sometimes this is progressing for hours, but then the app will crash and close down.
Things I've tried/confirmed so far: I have the up to date versions of iOS and iPhoto, I have it connected to wi-fi and plugged in, I have closed down all other apps on the iPad
Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
Thanks for any help!

You have covered most issues, but you do not mention how much free memory you are having on your iPad. Submitting a book for printing need plenty of free memory on your iPad, about the same amount as the combined size of your photos. Could it be, that you are running out of memory?
Another reason might be an unprintable, corrupted photo in your book.
Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
To order a photo book from Apple you need an Apple computer or an iOS device.
To transfer the photos to your PC see:

Why does my book not upload to Blurb from the Lightroom 4.2 book module?

I am trying to up load a 40 page 12" x 12" photo book to Blurb from the book module in Lightroom 4.2. It renders the pages and then having rendered the cover gets stuck, about 50% to 60% through the process. None of the photographs are starred or colour coded. I have uploaded successfully from this iMac in the last few weeks. I please advise.

Hi
I have had the same problem for a week. I have made about 25 attempts to upload an admittedly large book, and finally got one over to Blurb. The next problem is that some of the pictures are upside down! Blurb are referring me to Lightroom support as they say they only print the books. Some of the messages I got when trying to upload the books were general failure messages, but some said "problem with Blurb servers".
