publisher move files

[namron006]

I have placed my book in Publisher and have difficulty in up loading to LuLu and Kdp. How can I retrieve my pages from the pages listing back to the desktop? This is all new to me and this process of getting to the publisher is tougher than doing the actual book. Any help out there?

I'm not sure what that question means. Sorry.

The normal process you would use to upload a completed book to somewhere else, though, is that you would Export it as a PDF using File > Export, and selecting one of the PDF formats for output. In the Export options make sure you choose an Area value of All Pages, rather than the default of All Spreads.

You mean Pages panel, and double click to selected page?

[namron006]

OK, then do I drag each page to desktop? Can I select the entire list of pages and export to desktop? Will that work?

thanks norm

What do you mean by "desktop"?

What are you trying to accomplish?

These statements make me want to ask a really dumb question. I am wondering; have you saved the Publisher Document?

I have loaded my art files from Corel Painter to Publisher. They have art and type as jpgs. Now I am trying to move them as pdf's to either LuLu or Amazon for printing. Having problems with that I hired a freelance lady to handle the mechanics (since I have had not luck), She isn't familiar with Publisher and wants me to get the files to her from my desktop? I can't seem to get a handle on why getting the files to LULU or Amazon should be so complicated, which is probably just me. 

Is there a way to select the entire list of pages (spreads) in publisher and drag them to my desktop? 

Does that make any sense? 

Thanks

What happens when you try my suggestion if Exporting a PDF and uploading that to Lulu or Amazon?

If Walt's suggestion doesn't work for you:

• The files you loaded from Corel seem to be placed in APub as "Image" layers. If this images are already stored on your disk you can send the according folder(s) to the freelance lady.

• Alternatively open APub's Resource Manager window -> select all items -> press the "Collect…" button to get all placed resource files copied into a new folder on your disk.

• If you want to send her all data (images + .afpub layout file) choose menu "File" -> "Save As Package…".

Yes I have saved the Publisher Document.

Good Idea I will try Resource mgr approach.  I have been trying to load the Pub. files iinto LULU but they didn't seem to make the move. I think there is something I am missing on the  LULU side of the coin. Thanks

As I said, you need to use File > Export to create a PDF, and you then upload the PDF to Lulu or Amazon KDP. You can't upload the Publisher file directly.
