I start the procedure for uploading the blog. I select the blog that I wish to make into a book. It is supposed to pick up all the Posts and Pages. Nothing happens.

No way! Why would any editor need backend access to your blog?

What format do they want the blog in? What is the ebook company? We can probably work out the issue on this end without you handing out your password to people you don't know.

Bizarrely it has picked up all my draft posts as well as my live ones, but I'll have a play with the configuration to see if I can remove them and if not, I've got Acrobat editor so I'll just go through and take them out.

Also, it didn't work when I tried to open the acrobat file straight from the page - instead, I had to right click to save and then open it in Acrobat.

Thanks shimworld - this is exactly the sort of solution I've been looking for!

I hope more people play with it and feedback to the author(s) so they can correct the problems that plague the present version. My blog has a lot of images than yours, I think (making an assumption) so if it worked for me, it might work for you too. I haven't tried it lately but I would like to, some day, publish a book from all the posts since Nov 2006.

Back then I had the my entire blog created into a PDF document complete with ToC, Comments, etc and the PDF file came out to be around 80MB.

The service isn't perfect and while it successfully created all my pages, it also created many blank pages. You'll know what I mean when you try it yourself. The page lists the wordpress service as Beta.

I've also looked and looked and found nothing, and I imagine other similar services would also have the same problem.

Has WordPress considered offering this service themselves? There must be lots of people trying to do the same thing as us and an official WordPress tool would provide a valued and reliable service.
