If you are unfamiliar with the advanced features of your publishing software (MS Word, Adobe InDesign, etc.) you may want to consider utilizing a professional to help you. We do offer “Paid Professional Services” under the Services tab. 

 

Use an even number of pages. 

 

To make sure your PDF prints correctly we suggest embedding all fonts and images in your PDF. We are not responsible for anything printed incorrectly if these items are not embedded. Creating the PDF as a PDF/X version (we suggest PDF/X-1a:2001) will ensure the fonts and images are embedded.

 

Order a test copy of your book. It is up to the customer to verify the results.
