How Should I Size My Book PDF?

The correct dimensions for your PDF depend on the specifications you've chosen for your book.

Bookvault provides downloadable templates showing how to set up both your interior and cover files, including the measurements required for your chosen specifications.

How do I find the correct size for my interior PDF?

Once you've chosen your book specifications, Bookvault can generate a template with the correct measurements for your interior file.

Use this template when preparing your PDF to make sure its dimensions match the book you're creating.

How do I find the correct size for my cover PDF?

Your cover dimensions also depend on your chosen book specifications.

Bookvault's templates provide the measurements you need to correctly prepare your cover file.

Where can I download my Bookvault templates?

 Should I upload single pages or spreads?

Your interior content should be supplied as single pages.

For covers, wiro/spiral bound books should have the cover supplied as a single-page view, while paperback and hardback covers should be supplied as a full spread containing the back cover, spine and front cover.
