Lulu manuals (Red Dog)

No A5 tulkas.
I have to maintain one project for each of you requesting something special, I can’t cope.
If you want A5, you’ll have to print them on your own -

Red Dog, regarding generating a custom (for self only) book on Lulu - with all the PDFs I get
Your document could not be created: The Arial font is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)The Arial,Bold font is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)The Times font is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)The Arial,BoldItalic font is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)The Arial,Italic font is not embedded. (How do I embed fonts?)
I’ve managed to embed those fonts, gs itself doesn’t like the PDFs completely, are you aware of that?
~/Dropbox/bms $ gs -o tst.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress BMS-Training.pdf | grep “font file”

not aware of it, no. The PDF was created from office 2013
No idea about font being Embedded or not. -
Interesting, I also got warnings about low res images and fonts used smaller than 6pts. The result looks fine though - gives me a $14 manual in b/w with spirals. Amazing work that went into this.

Main Checklists PDF also doesn’t work for me in Lulu without fixing it, the fonts are not embedded and the paper size is wrong for A5
Your file “Main Checklists.pdf” is 13cm x 21cm, but you have chosen 14.817cm x 20.99cm as your book size.
You can fix this problem by choosing a new book size, or changing your PDF file.Running gs on it gets things running
$ gs -o Checklists-a5-allfonts.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -sPAPERSIZE=a5 -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPSFitPage “Main Checklists.pdf”
Don’t get how you’re not seeing this when uploading for the official print.
FYI for anyone running into this.

the checklists are not A5. they are real checklist format on purpose.

Where can I get the coffee cup?

@Red:

ok, that explains it - for those that go commercial print w/a5 that’s good to know how to work around

Hi chaps,
Firstly many thanks for the availability of these manuals, I have been looking forward to such precise work for some time now. I am therefore planning on buying the full set. However, a few questions come to mind that may have been answered, but I am not sure;
1. As these manuals are currently at version 1.00 and several typos have already been identified, do you have a roadmap and/or an ETA for revisions/corrections?
2. Does the “Manual” specificly offer advice on configuration of TrackIR, Warthog and profiles, etc.?
3. Are there “best practices” or specific configeration settings for various virtual squadrons?With thanks,
