All,
I am using ConTeXt to create a PDF for upload to Lulu.com.
I am getting the following exception using the LuLu Python publication API on Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Python 2.6.6 or 2.7.1:
ServiceError: Couldn't create Lulu project. '{"error_type": "LFilesystemException", "error_value": "shell command failed: rm -rf \'/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/10290000/10290657\' 2>&1\\nrm: cannot remove directory `/opt/stable/stable/htdocs/items/volume_69/10290000/10290657/1/cover\': Directory not empty", "HTTPErrorCode": 500}'
Oddly, the exact same code works fine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Python 2.6.5.
I have track down the issue to the difference between the _cover_ PDF created on Ubuntu with ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.26 16:28 MKIV and on Mac OS X with ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV, although the cover PDF generated on either platform appears correctly in Preview.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any wisdom out there? What should I look for next?
Ray.

All,
I could have phrased my question better ... here is another attempt:
I use ConTeXt to generate a PDF for upload using the command "context filename" on either Mac OS X or Ubuntu. I have installed ConTeXt by installing a TeX Live distribution on each platform. The command completes without error on either platform. The PDFs open in Preview (a Mac OS X application for viewing PDFs) and appear to be correct, regardless of on which platform the PDFs were created. However, the upload of the PDF created on Mac OS X fails, while the upload of the PDF created on Ubuntu works.
So, there is something different about these two PDFs which I cannot determine by opening them in an application for viewing PDFs. But I do not know what is different, or how to find out.
I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
Ray.

As it says: "Directory not empty", perhaps you could look in the finder
or terminal to see what is still in there. I actually expect that
there is a Finder-specific file or folder there, which would mean that
the actual problem has nothing to do with the pdf itself, but just with
a difference between MacOSX and Ubuntu.
Best wishes,
Taco

If that is true there is probably at least a file .DS_Store present on
Mac OS X (which Finder won't show).

A Lulu developer was able to find out that the original error was coming out of the PDFLib library:
{"error_type":"PDFlibException","error_value":"Handle parameter or option of type 'page' has bad value 0"}
Does that mean anything to anyone?

Is it possible to select the PDF version that is produced by running "context file.tex"?
For example, running "context file.tex" produced "file.pdf" of PDF version _1.5_ on Ubuntu with ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.26 16:28 MKIV and of PDF version _1.6_ on Mac OS X with ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV.
I would like to produce PDF version _1.5_ on Mac OS X with ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.24 13:05 MKIV.

I think that the OP just wants
\pdfminorversion=5

that goes along with other settings so best use a standard that matches 1.5

Fantastic! This fixes my problem uploading documents to Lulu. Thank you. This has been one tough bug to track down.
