Import PBB's into L4

I think that I remember reading somewhere about importing, L3 and before, PBB's into L4, but for the life of me I can not find it.

If you can direct me to it, or offer what you know that would be appreciated.

    Hi Robert, compiled L3 PBB's cannot be directly imported into L4. If you have (or have access to) the source documents that the PBB's were built from (Word documents), those can be recompiled in L4.

    Rosie had her autoposter (that's why she has so many posts[;)]) turned on and it responded at the same time I was.

     

     Thanks all. Just curious but does everyone have the 'Tools' 'Personal Books' to build a book? I thought that we needed the PBB License...

    Not in L4. I think you have to have a base package but otherwise it is included.

    That almost sounds like a contradiction. I remember way back that when I got the 'Base Package' that it came with the PBB Lic. Now it is avaliable freely with L4? Is this correct? -OR- in the upgrade to L4 the Lic is included should you have had the original 'base package' that included it....

    In Libronix the ability to read PBBs was a separate purchase or bundled with base packages. Authoring required a subscription (if I remember a yearly fee to author books)

    In L4 it is completely free. Someone reported during testing that they created a new Logos account with no purchases and they could create PBs with it.

    Interesting. I was not aware that the Lic(subscript.) I purchased years back was now free....thanks for clarifying.

    To clarify even further, the new L4 PBB is a completely new thing, and they decided to make it free. The Lic you purchased before was for Libronix's PBB feature which doesn't work anymore. Well, it still works in Libronix if you still have it. But it's not like you paid for something which now people are getting for free. Well, it kind of is. But that's the direction the whole world has been moving anyway. Used to be you'd have to pay for recorded courses from the top universities in America (if they were even available). Now you can listen to a lot of them for free on iTunes U. And so on...

    I am not aware of a way to do this. In L4 PB's are built from .docx files. Any Pb's you have in L3 you will have to convert to a .docx file through some process and then build it in L4 from that.

    www.stilltruth.com has some .docx files that have been uploaded you can build from. This page on the wiki can give you additional information, tips and instruction http://wiki.logos.com/Personal_Books

    Well, since we're talking about PBB in Libronix: Would it be possible to get a refund on that.  I only used it once and even purchased the training CDs but Logos 4 came along a couple of months right after I bought it that I never had the chance to go and build books.  So in essense I never really used my unlimited license.  It'd be nice to get Logos credit, I don't want the cash just other books...[;)]

    Ps. It's a joke...lol...with Logos being so gracious enough to give us the ability to build better books with the better and improved PB tool who cares if I paid and didn't use the old one, I have access to the better new one for FREE.  This brings me to the following statement: THANK YOU LOGOS! Free PB tool is SO GREAT! AND FREE! [:D]

    I was going to use the quote, but then decided otherwise. FYI you make it sound simple, but should you click your help buttn and go to the help file and type in 'personal books' and read just a smidget of whats invloved, its not an easy task. Yet with the incorporation of the new process it does make the finished product a little easier to finish. hint: you still need to create the docx file, which does take time......

    Wiki has => Personal Books

    Creating a new docx file, saving, adding a personal book, and building does take a minute or two.

    Other option is downloading a public domain Personal Book docx file, then build your own book => User Contributed Personal Books

    I think that stating a "minute or two" is rather unique. Should one download a docx file from the directed source and just peruse the file, it would be plain to read that it would be more than a minute. Let's not give the nubies a false sense in thinking that they can just type up a doc and make a book, theres planning and Scripture, if they use pic's then there is the proper hyperlink, etc., etc.,.

    Also if you read the wiki, one can easily read that my words are true. So lets be honest here...

    NewbieMick, are u running L3 or L4?

    Robert.
