    If the PDF exports OK then I suspect it is the upload to Blurb, and this happened to me last December. I remember having to wait a few days and try again before it would upload.

    Check out the Blurb help article-

    https://support.blurb.com/hc/en-us/articles/207792266-Lightroom-upload-problems

    Sorry I cannot be of much more help.

    In the forums I have read of several problems with books- often caused by text fonts. Extracts from my notes-

    error occurs if I have anywhere in the book a text field with "Times New Roman" font. After changing the font to some other font (or removed all empty photo/page texts) I was able to export to Blurb and export to PDF.

     

    If on any page you increase the padding so that the main photo is shrunk to nothing to show just the faded background, you will have the error while saving it to pdf or uploading a book to Blurb. 

     

    I checked all fields in my book. What appeared to me is that for some reason all text fields did not contain font type data (the font type and subtype were empty in the "Type" tab, left in the book module).

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

      What Version Number of Lightroom do you have?

      v8.0 had many problems with the Book Module!

      Is your book very large? It may take many hours to upload if upload speed is slow.

      Have you tested the book my exporting to a PDF? This cam sometimes test for incompatible fonts, missing photos, empty photo cells, etc.

       

      If you problem is on-going then Blurb has a PDF upload facility you may be able to access-
