Making a PDF for
Mac users
Problem: the Mac's built-in PDF creation systems may create PDFs with
font embedding faults that cause printing problems with the high speed
printers used by Lulu's print partners.
Solution 1: Make your PDF with Adobe Acrobat.
Solution 2: Upload a Word file in .doc format for Lulu to convert.
Solution 3: Make your PDF by uploading a PostScript file to Lulu.com. Let Lulu make the PostScript into a PDF
The first is expensive but it is a terrific solution and may end up being
cost effective if you will be doing many projects. The second requires
you to use only fonts that are on Lulu's list of convertible fonts:

Regardless of method, it is essential to look the PDF over carefully
and then it is essential to purchase a proof copy before making the
book available for sale or buying in quantity. Details:
To
save your document as a PostScript file, open it in the application you
used to make it (for instance Word). Click on File==>Print and
then
select "PDF" and then "Save As PostScript."
The Mac Print menu.
File==>Print==>PDF==>Save as PostScript
Finally, after saving the PostScript file, upload it to Lulu.com and
let Lulu convert it to PDF. After making your PDF, checking it is essential. Download the PDF from Lulu.com and then check it as described here.
