P: Custom paper sizes in the Book Module

When will we have European (or custom) paper sizes in the BOOK Module?  I am fully aware that Blurb only supports US paper sizes but there are many non-US printing services which will print a book from jpg or pdf files.  You should be able to support sizes other than those used by Blurb. The recent improvements in LR 7.5 were great but I think will only be usable by American users.  Come on Adobe you have MANY users who do not use US paper sizes!!!!!

What are the chances of getting an upgrade to the book module to allow customising the page size. The available standard options are limiting. Or has someone found a work around. I need a standard A4 or A3 format

Hi @Robin Alec

 

Thank you for reaching out! I’ve moved this to the Ideas section so that other users can upvote it—more upvotes increase the chances of it being considered for implementation. In the meantime, I came across a similar thread where @Rob_Cullen has shared a possible workaround. You might find it helpful: A4 Format Book in Lightroom

 

Let us know if it works for you!

Bonjour,

Lorsqu'on souhaite éditer un livre en pdf avec le module Livres, on n'a le choix qu'entre 8 formats (visiblement les formats de Blurb). Même pas le format A4...

La personnalisation de la dimension des pages ne devrait pas demander de gros efforts de développement, qu'en pensez-vous?

J'ai personnellement un peu l'impression qu'on me force la main pour utiliser Blurb...

I can only subcribe. And debug the module, please. I have all the time problems with any kind of formatting when saving custom pages.

Bitte schnell im Buchmodul folgende Möglichkeiten ergänzen:

  1. Seitenformate indivuduell anpassen, wenn man NICHT Blurb nutzen möchte, und stattdessen PDF oder JPG anwählt. Mindestens DIN-Formate!!!
  2. Hilfslinien - warum gibt es die in der Seitenansicht nicht
  3. PRO: Musterseiten per Indesign gestalten und dann ins Buchmodul importieren können
  4. Besserer Umgang mit Typografie

    ES WÄRE TOLL, WNEN DAS BUCHMODUL ÜBERARBEITET WIRD. Ich liebe die Idee, aber sie ist nicht ausgeferift. Danke!

The first one who asked for this was Julius Cesar.

Adobe told him: 'we are working on it'.

Can we please have the flexibility to sedign books in any dimensions?  This would allow us to create a PDF of the size required by other album providers an upload it to their system.

With one smallish feature change, we could completly enhance the use of the Book module.

 

Thanks very much

5 years on and still no ability to create a book on standard page sizes eg A4
Paper manufacturers have been supplying sets of paper and bindings for DIY printing for years and years, it's crazy LR can't utilise these still.

@Terry, @Hnrik -- we will discuss these requests internally.
This was four years ago.  Still nothing.  The 80% of the world's population that is not the USA is metric.  Please do something,
