Why does book module not export ?

Lightroom’s Book Module may crash on export to pdf and Blurb.
This is not a new topic, I know, but a frustratingly regular one. As it has happened to me on several occasions with several books I offer advice but would like to be given some too. Please don’t anyone say I shouldn’t expect the module to handle text as well as InDesign – this problem is a basic instability within the software, or so I believe. There is no obvious reason for the export to get almost to the end and then crash and there is no dialogue box that says what’s wrong with the book. When the report dialogue box appears, there is never any useful response.
I recommend, and will follow my own advice religiously from now on:
1.  At the end of every day working with a Lightroom book, export to pdf to check it’s working.
2.  Always, when doing anything with Lightroom, quit Lightroom and back up the catalogue at the end of the day.
3.  If you’ve are doing a lot of work in a session, quit Lightroom from time to time and back up the catalogue more frequently than in 1 & 2 above.
4.  If Lightroom should crash unexpectedly, don’t just carry on after re-opening it. It is quite likely that a book’s data has been compromised, so try to export it to pdf to check. If that fails, re-open a previous back-up and re-do your lost work.
5.  If you have not been doing regular checks and back-ups, and there was an unannounced problem at some earlier stage, the danger that arises is that your catalogue has developed photos and structure that will be lost if you have to return to an early back-up to regain control of the book export function. It is very hard work, but occasionally possible, to discover what the problem with the export is and change the page with the problem. Don't bank on that.
I am going to take the opportunity in the next couple of days to start restructuring a 120 page book that no longer exports. I'll re-type it all from scratch. I couldn’t possibly, reliably, carry on in any other way. If you think it would be possible to avoid this labour, plese let me know how.

If you do file >> export in CS6 you should see tif here and these settings
The plug in that creates these is here
/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Plug-ins.localized/Illustrator Formats.localized/TIFF.aip/
Your plug in may be damaged, or a setting that works with this. Try resetting the illustrator preferences as this fixes many items.

  • Why does external modules not depend on a specific kernel version ?

    Hi,
    I'm quite new to Archlinux and there are a few things I don't understand about the way pacman handles kernel and modules packages.
    I understand that modules in the repository are only build against the current kernel version and that you should update both at the same time to keep your system in a working state, however I don't understand why the package system does not enforce that.
    For example if I look at the current nvidia modules (100.14.19-3), it will install its stuff in lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH and hence (should) depends on kernel26>=2.6.23.
    However if I take a look at the package itself, it only depends on kernel26.
    If I upgrade the modules without upgrading the kernel or upgrade the kernel without upgrading the modules, I will break my system.
    In my opinion (but I may be missing something) the package manager should be robust and should make sure your system stay in a coherent state.
    Is there a technical reason for this or is this only to avoid having to modify the packages dependencies each time a new kernel is release ?

    Very interesting, I was right when I said I was probably missing something
    As I said in my first post, I'm a new archlinux user. I'm more familiar with debian/ubuntu systems.
    The way they are solving this kind of issue is simply by putting the kernel version number in the package name.
    For example you have nvidia-kernel-2.6.23-1 which depends on linux-image-2.6.23-1.
    This solves these kind of upgrade issues (I did a search in the forums before creating this thread and I saw there were a hell lot of kernel/modules dependency issues that have already been reported by other users).
    The advantage of this system is that you can keep both the old and the new kernel package on your system at the same time are revert to the previous version if something goes wrong.
    However the drawback is that you have to maintain several versions of the same package in the repository at the same time, which may be contrary to the archlinux philosophy...

  • Book Module not exporting to jpg

    I am trying to export a 80 page book to jpg at quality 60, 75 dpi so that I can consult with someone about the layout. The module will only export the cover and the first 4 pages. Any suggestions on what to do?
    Billie

    I would just delete the above issue but I thought the resolution might be helpful to someone else. In looking back at my pages, I found a little red dot at the bottom right hand side  of the photo window on page 5. I couldn't find out what it meant but I removed the page and started over with a new page. That eliminated the red dot and I could then export the total jpg file.

  • Why does elements 11 not recognize nikon nef files

    I have been using Elements 11 for quite a while for Canon Raw files with great success. It really works fine for me.
    I recently bought a Nikon D300. For some reason Elements 11 will not recognize the Nikon NEF raw files.
    W H Y ? ? ?

    Thank you for your reply.
    Answers to your questions:
    I am using Win7 64 bit. Elements 11 has worked just fine until I attempted to process NEF files.
    I always copy files to my HD before trying to process any.
    How do I check to see if my Camera Raw module is current? EVERY time, regardless of day of the week or time of day, when do the Help/Update thing I ALWAYS  get that message block about website is busy, try again. I'll bet I've tried it over a hundred times over the past two weeks or so. I have a feeling that it can't be that busy for that long. Or, maybe I'm just unlucky, or maybe your server is too small to handle the load.
    Needless to say, I am really frustrated with Adobe.
    Again, thank you for your reply, and hopefully my answers will provide a solution.
    Regards,

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does front row not have simple organization?

    I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

    You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
    But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.
