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!!!!!

    Adobe will never support non-USA standards. I do not know why, but since 1982 this has been the case. For what-ever-you-wish-to-do in Europe Adobe is not your choice of product because they do properly, nor at all, support other than USA standards in their products. This is why their products are used by individuals who can adept, not by companies, in rest of the world.

      For all Adobe customers outside the USA that can't use Blurb but still want to create a book, having standard paper sizes or even custom ones is a must. Please create this possibility in a future update to Lightroom Classic.

        Please make custom page sizes an option in the book module. It is so frustrating that one is locked into the Blurb solution where I want to use other printing services but they cannot handle the standard pdf output sizes. Please, please please. This has been requested for such a long time...

        please add in the LightRoom LRC book module a way to freely custom the size of your books. Now you are forced to only use blurb sizes?

          It's been 2 years since Reetesh Mukul replied to us that Adobe were discussing this but still nothing has happened and we still cannot use international paper sizes in LR's Book module.  WHY WHY WHY!!!!!

          I also can't understand why Adobe doesn't bring such easy improvements that so much users would use. I'm wondering what we pay for in the subscription since there are always just small minor changes. Really sad...

          ...years later ..... still... nothing done! this is frustrating....

          "....2020 goes by and i cant make a custom sized pdf book on lightroom? ...what is the book module for? is it just to keep blurb expensive and old as #%& printing services alive?

          ....and for this reason all of the book module is basically worthing ZERO (to me)!?
          i will have to forget all about virtual copies and albuns and export everything to use another software ? all because i cant configure a 30 by 40 pdf page (on lightroom)?????
          will these be possible this week ? i need to make a 30 by 40 (cm :)) book (pdf)!
          come on ..... please !"

          I think we should not dream as long as only Blurb will be their interlocutor, it offers no standardized format A, even on their European sites, it has in the baba ...
          But why no major European producer does not contact Adobe to participate in the universalization of this module Book, beware, it takes a publisher working in all European countries .... Because of delivery charges and VAT that are true wounds of international deliveries!

          It's been 6 months since I posted this and we are still waiting to hear if and when you might give us the ability to use non-US paper sizes in the book module.  With the recent changes you have made the book module it is becoming a very useful tool but when the only option is to use US paper sizes it remains unusable for us Europeans.

          It’s really good to hear that you’re discussing this subject and I hope that you will agree that there is an international need for this capability. I look forward to seeing a positive outcome and an implementation in due course. Regards.
