Rose Romano So, now I've got another problem with PDF.

I converted an OO file to PDF to upload it to CS. Then I found some mistakes that I needed to correct. Just now, I tried to convert the new version to PDF. I click on file, then create PDF online, then I select the file, click on open, and PDF tells me "could not convert. ...failed to convert to PDF. The file is in a format not supported for conversion to PDF."

How can that be if I converted a file that was OO?

The first file I converted has the same name as the second file I want to do now. Is that it? Do I need to delete the old file first? If so, how do I do that?

I hate to keep bothering the CreateSpace people. I hope one of you knows the answer.

Thanks.

Rose Romano Thanks, Charles. But I'm doing a paper book, not an e-book.
