To answer the question- You cannot import a PDF "back" to Lightroom. Not Possible.

To complete your book you need to open your Catalog in Lightroom and select the Saved Book in the Collection panel.

All work done to a Book in Lightroom needs to be in a "Saved Book Collection" that gets automatically updated when you work with it in Lightroom.

A PDF should be considered as the final form of the book that you can preview before you use Lightroom to send to Blurb (or send the PDF to another Book print

Thankyou for your prompt response! What a bugger!!

I put the book together on my big computer in another country and certainly

saved it, however I only have my laptop with me (in Aust) and suspect I

cannot access the Saved book made in Norway?

Cheers Jenny

Yes, I think you are out of luck.

Unless someone can export your catalog and send it (via Dropbox) for you to 'open' with Lightroom on your laptop.
