Question

Change Book size in lightroom classic lost Text boxes.

Dear All,

 

I made a book in "Large landscape" format with custom text boxes documenting the pictures.
I took a copy (Duplicate the book) and tried to change the format to standard landscape. (So, I can have two versions of the book at 2 differents prices).

If layout and picture are well on place all the texts are lost.

 

Anyway, is there a way to keep them to be able to have multiple versions of the same book without a lot of rework?

 

Best regards.

If you can I'd be moving this to InDesign for a more controllable work flow.

I just tested  a Book change of format from 'Landscape' to 'Small Squares' and my text boxes remained in place.

However, now all the text does not fit within the text boxes- This is indicated by the red icon that appears in the lower-right of the text box- and unfortunately there is no 'carry-over' to another box. The text just disappears unless the font is re-sized smaller.

I consider a change of Book Size is a "Dangerous" move and avoid it as much as possible.

'Duplicating' (making a Copy) a Saved Book Collection is a wise move IMO.

    I have tried, but it does not work even is the new book ratio is the same as the former.
    Only page text are kept.

    I'll try on Blurb side.

     

    PS : Sorry for the delay I have problem replying on the forum 😞

    Hi there:

    I believe from your description that you are creating two separate books? Is that correct?

    A little is lost in the translating engine here in your post I think.

    Can you post a screen shot illustrating this and your LRC and OS version names/numbers?

      First of all, thanks for your quick reply.

       

      I create first a book in Large landscape format, did all the paging work and put text boxes to document pictures.
      I then duplicate the book, change the book size, if most of the layouts are kept, text boxes are lost.
      Maybe is the font size to big ...


      Is there a way to have multiple size of the same book easily?
      Find below 2 screenshots exemple and my entire system configuration.

      Thanks again.
      Georges.
