Result

After the end of markup, margin and footer customization steps, the service will automatically create the layout of the first spreads of your publication. This step is made because the volume of the books can vary greatly: some editions may have only 10-20 pages, while others may include several thousand. Taking the difference in speed of the layout creation according to the volume into account, the service provides you the opportunity to have an outlook of the first spreads to make sure that all layout settings are correct.

If you are completely satisfied with the result at this stage, you can proceed to the next step and click on the "Layout the whole book" sign. After that, the service will start working on the layout of the whole publication.

How to download the prepared layout?

After the end of the layout making, you will receive an email with a link for download. You can also upload the archive with prepared files on the project page.

Hover over the "download" sign on the project card and select one of the formats:

How to make changes to the layout?

Select the project you want to edit on the project page and click the "Edit" sign on its card. As a part of your free layout edit, you can make the following changes:

• Modifications of text styles.

If your corrections include changing the format of the book or making changes to the original manuscript that exceed 10% of its length, you will need to pay for the layout process again.
