Are those two seperate issues or the same issue. Also, was your calendar a Standard Calendar or a Premium Calendar? If it was a Standard Calendars, there are 2 PDF files. The first contains the front cover, the top half of the January page, the December date grid, and the "back cover" which is blank. The second PDF contains the January date grid, all of the Feb. - Nov. months, and the top half of the December page. Sarah,

I've been having an awful time trying to revise a calendar - I cannot get the studio to load - this morning I let it churn for an HOUR before giving up. I saw in one of the discussions that you can upload a pdf to make a calendar, which would be a snap - but I can't find that option anywhere on the site. I’ve had a similar problem with the website.

It started with the wrong month. :( In the studio format, the dates are correct. Is there any way to fix it? It times out when I try to get to the save and download step.

Is there not already text on the spine? Do you just want to change it somehow? Usually what I do is highlight the text or use the key command for select all. Then make your changes to the text / color / weight. Click off the text so that nothing is highlighted. then click OK and that should do it Caroline Hi JR. Is there not already text on the spine?

However every time I try put my text on the spine the cover rotates, then zooms in really big. When I try to position it, it rolls back to the starting position. I have a Mac and I've used both the Firefox and Safari which gives me the same results. What can I do? I have an 8 1/2 x 11 photo book 99% done.

The upside to this is that we just released a brand new version of the Lulu Studio that is visually more appealing and easier to navigate through. You should not have to upload your photos again - they'll be in your "My Files" section. Good luck! Hey Tim

Can that be done? And, how much extra will it cost? Hello, I created a 136-page 6×9 soft cover photobook, and would like to place a new order, but have it printed with a hard cover instead.
