Roger,

This might actually work out better for you! If you have created the pages individually in Photoshop you can save them as individual jpgs. Then you can upload those jpgs into the Designer and simply drop them onto the pages there. This is a very efficient method to creating your book. It gives you 100% design control pairing it with the layout ease of using our system. Edits are incredibly easy too because if you find a change needs to be made you simply have to upload a single jpg verses re-upload the entire book.

You can learn more about apply pictures (jpgs) into the Designer here: http://www.youtube.com/user/awesomephotobooks?feature=mhee#p/u/10/T8tYeAo9MOY

If you have any future questions please let us know!

What I did was create these files in Photoshop and saved them as PDF. I then used Adobe Acrobat to combine them, but the size of the files prevented me from saving them all in one combine file. So what I had to do was save each page as a jpg and then use Adobe Acrobat to combine the files. This created one file with all the pages in a much smaller size. This is for future reference in case you should run across the same problem again.

Roger,

Greetings from PrestoPhoto!

If we were to combine the files we would use Adobe Acrobat as well. 86 page books typically are not 3 Gigs. It sounds to me like you have problem with your original files. I would suggest going back to the program you used to create your project. If you have specific questions you can look at our trouble-shooting with software page here: http://www.prestophoto.com/software/ or email us directly at support@prestophoto.com

Kind regards,

I don't have a Mac. I have been using Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 to combine my files and so far I have gotten them into 2 files. I is almost 2 gigs and the other is 1.75 gigs. I have been trying for 3 days to combine them with no luck. Do you have any suggestions?

Roger,

If you have a mac you can combine the pdf's using Preview. Here is a link on how to do so: http://macintoshhowto.com/leopard/how-to-merge-pdf-files-with-preview-in-leopard.html

If you have any further questions please let us know and we will do our best to help.

Combining PDF files

I have a 86 page book, but I have it in two files. I cannot combine the files on my computer using Adobe Acrobat because of some problem. My question is can I upload these two seperate files and have PrestoPhoto combine them for me? The files are about 1.5 Gigs each.
