Problem with book cover during previewI have recently uploaded book which i have prepared using Blurb’s Indesign template.

That’s a bug with the preview function, but it doesn’t affect the printed copy. It’s unlikely uploading again will improve anything. Blurb has been a little slow in getting it fixed as they didn’t want to admit at first they had a problem, but finally have. | |

thanks Deane, i have tried to uploading again and still getting same issue, the preview does not come out right. I am wondering whether the choice of image-wrap cover is causing this. | |
|
as mentioned before, bug on preview function is apparently caused by Image Wrap cover option. I have changed the cover option to Hardcover Dust Jacket, uploading it again and now the preview is seems OK. But still I don’t know how to fix the Image Wrap cover version. preview of Dust Jacket option can be seen here http://www.blurb.com/books/757311 | |

I have a soft cover and have the same problem. The official reply is that is a "bug", which they have had for a while. PDF to web is not rocket science; Blurb have decided to prioritize other things and this could be fixed if they chose to fix it, obviously. Uploading again will mean a "new book" according to their rules. Perhaps this is another case of one getting what one pays for. | |

i have a book which i have previously published through booksmart (http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/322666) and have recently republished in a smaller format through the pdf beta trial (http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/725402) my problem is that as you can see the preview image on the newer version has a completely different colour cast than the previous one, and the book itself. both the interactive preview and the book itself are perfect but i think that this image – the main one that will grab peoples attention – looks really tacky. is there any way to change this? is this caused by the same bug as the OP’s problem? | |

I just uploaded (large format landscape with dust cover) and in the preview it looks like the cover is too small – it only comes up to the top of the book – the rest is white. Same on the inside covers and the back. I’m just going to order and see what comes as I wanted to enter the photo contest and I doubt this will be resolved by noon tomorrow! | |

to fix my post above, the cover image only comes up to an inch from the top, the rest is white. Here’s the preview: http://www.blurb.com/books/770493 | |
