Some basic steps to take before you upload to Lulu ...
Format your pages: Set your page size for a 8.5" x 11" book (bleed size is .25 larger). You can download a template or let Lulu do the formatting for you with our professional services. Make sure your book has between 32 and 740 pages. Find out more about formatting your pages.
Check your file: Make sure you're using one of the file formats we support, and ensure password protection is turned off. If you're uploading a PDF you can use Lulu's Acrobat or InDesign settings. Also, you need to embed your fonts. Find out more about creating your PDF.
If your file is greater than 300MB use FTP to upload your files. Learn how to use FTP for large files.
Only upload files for the inside of your book right first (32 pages). The cover comes later as a separate file.
