Well, I was on the brink of starting looking for alternative service. My dialog with Blurb customer support was proving ineffective to the point that they suggested that had nothing to help me with. This is surprisingly unfortunate... Boris On 8/8/2014 9:40 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: Glad to

Well, Godfrey, I don't intend to spend serious money every month to have faster up-stream connection from home. Granted, this one was a rather big book (almost 400MB of PDF file, 140 pages, and stuff), but I am not at all happy about my experience. I expect the books to be printed with

I feel your frustration, Boris. The sad truth is if you want internet speed you have to pay for it. My old Earthlink account had a download speed of 5 MBPs, and I can only imagine what the upload speed was. In switching to Comcast Xfinity, I now get download speeds of nearly 58 MBPs ( just

A brief follow up. After several attempts (each takes 2-3 hours, as my network connection is very asymmetrical - upstream is way slower than downstream) it finally worked. I had to disable the anti-virus and actually be active on the computer throughout most of the process... Got 25%

Glad to hear the update. You sounded pretty discouraged earlier - it would have been a shame for you to abandon the project out of frustration. stan On Aug 8, 2014, at 1:25 PM, Boris Liberman bori...@gmail.com wrote: A brief follow up. After several attempts (each takes 2-3 hours, as my

Good to hear it! I have similar problem with my work: Uploading is very slow when I'm working from home and the server sometimes gives up before all the data is done transferring. In the office with the exact same laptop, the upload runs about 30x faster and without errors. Godfrey On

Well, I've tried their web interface that allows uploading PDF. The PDF freshly prepared from LightRoom had this interesting problem (as per the web site): The PDF you selected is not PDF/X-3:2002 format or PDF 1.3 compatible. In fact, it occurs to me that this may be the reason I wasn't been

Boris, I feel your frustration! It's very annoying. You might consider converting your PDF file into PDF/X-3:2002 using Acrobat. (A time-limited trial version is available, as described in the thread linked below.) If you haven't seen this discussion for the possible work-arounds, see what is

Guys, I am in deep shit... We've prepared some 100+ book from our trip to Europe last year. I am trying to upload it from LR (first 5.5, now 5.6) to Blurb. It renders the PDF, it then goes on to upload the pages. At around 80% it produces an error message without giving my reason as to why

Boris, It's nice to hear from you. While I don't have an answer, I thought, this thread might be useful to you: https://support.blurb.com/entries/24620879-Problems-with-book-upload-from-Lightroom-5-3 (you may have seen it already...) It looks like it is a common problem, and most likely for
