How do I export my work as a print-ready PDF?Updated 14 days ago
- Use design software to create your PDF. While Microsoft Word and PowerPoint can export to PDF, they aren't really suitable for exporting PDFs with high-resolution photos (unless you have Adobe PDF).
- Every design program has its own export settings. We’ve created here guides for the most popular programs. If you can’t find the instructions you need, feel free to contact customer service at any time.Plans and graphics with many points or layers should be inserted as .jpg filesNo transparency or transparency groups—it’s best to insert these into the document as .jpg files as well, so the book can be printed optimally.
- Canva is not suitable for exporting graphics (due to extensive use of transparency or graphics with many layers/points) and offers a “flat” export of graphics only for Pro users. However, Canva partners with the free design program Affinity; with “Affinity by Canva,” you can export an ideal PDF
