I suspect that some of the PDF generation libraries are not always able to create consistent files. Probably what is happening here. I too have an issue with both pdf generation and uploading to Blurb, and it is a major one.
I have made quite a few Blurb books in the past, and two or three Blurb books using the LR 4. It took me quite a few attempts to get recent uploads to complete without an error message, but I finally got my large books to Blurb from LR 4.
For the last several days I have been trying to both make a pdf and upload to Blurb a slightly modified version same photos but with develop adjustments, font changes of a book I already uploaded to Blurb a few weeks ago after many tries. The LR behavior is identical whether stalling in pdf or Blurb mode.
The progress bar top left moves along smartly until it stops and LR flashes one of two error messages. One error message is generic An error occurred while saving the book. There was an error creating the pdf file or specific An error occurred while creating the book. The book could not be created because the photo named filename. There seems to be no pattern as to which error message I receive.
I have deleted all text pages but not page captions ; I am still unable to make this book into a pdf or upload it to Blurb. Does this make any sense? Any suggestions would be most welcome. JaniceB New Member. I am a new member who found this forum by searching for answers to the "can't export to pdf or blurb" problem. I just want to thank you all for the input I found here. It "saved my bacon" as I was on a deadline with a large book I was completing for a client and was afraid I would have to start over from scratch.
The "binary search" idea from Mark and the hints of issues such as background, etc allowed me to find and solve my problem. LR4 clearly has a bug, at least in the fact that no error messages are given when it encounters a problem with a page. Once I identified the page that would keep the book from exporting, I had to delete and replace it - as there was no obvious or visible problem - but after I replaced it, the export worked. Thanks again.
Book will not save or upload waveydavey27 said:. First, I am very dissapointed in Lightroom Adobe for not fixing this bug so many people are having for six months now.
In the meantime - the only thing I conclude is that one must first duplicate the book so you don't loose all your work. Then, you must find the page that is causing the problem. To do that - on one copy - delete the last half of the book. If it then exports - you know the bug is in the last half. If it still does not work, delete that portion, and start again by making another copy of your book - but this time delte the first half.
Then export. You will see it now works. So, with this method - you can slowly determine which page it is. Like a 'binary search' approch. You should be able to run this down to the culprit page in less than an hour. When you find the page - again - make a new copy of the book - and delete that page. Recreate that page and you should be good to go. As to what is causing the bug - I have no clue. But my experience and from reading others in this forum - it tends to be a bug on one page that when eliminated then works.
And for all our sakes Lightroom - please fix this quickly. MarkNicholas Mark. Has anyone been able to get any success in the book module. There seem to be lots of complaints! Perhaps its a fix for LR4. Thanks for the update. Now that you found what causes the problem, is there a way to correct it?
I have a page book that will not upload or save as a pdf. I am sure it is because of the background picture on the cover and maybe with the rest of the book. I am hoping I can save the book. Do I need to remove the background picture from the cover, un-check the "apply background globally"? I tired that but still not able to upload or save, is there anything else that may work???
MarkNicholas said:. In case it is helpful to anyone, here is an update of my July 26 post on my difficulties exporting to Blurb and to pdf. I am using LR 4. The bottom line is that with a great deal of effort and wasted time, I was ultimately able to upload successfully to Blurb, but am now unable to generate a pdf of the same book after umpteen tries. I do not use graphic page backgrounds but do have all my page background colors set to black. Get specifications.
