APPLE IBOOKS AUTHOR TUTORIAL PDF
Selecting a location on your computer to save the exported file will bring up an export window that includes all of the following options: PDF for print, Kindle e-book, EPUB e-book, iBooks book or MS Word document.Īll of these are self-explanatory except one – “EPUB for digital”. To export your new book from Apple Pages, you’ll need to open the book’s File menu and choose “Export Book”. Chances are your book is 100% suitable as it is, for digital distribution but would need some adjustments to the margin and gutter before being exported as a high-quality PDF for print and distribution.
Keep in mind, formatting for digital distribution and print distribution have separate requirements. You might want to export it into various formats to upload and sell, share it with friends and family or make it a free download on your site or social media. Once you are happy with your book, you are ready for the next steps. However, despite the interface not being as complex as some other programs, do not see using Apple Pages to write and format your book as a lesser option – complex doesn’t necessarily mean better! Once inserted, you can use all the tools under Formatting (in the Inspector) to format this element how you would like.Īs I mentioned before, the interface is very user-friendly so you will have no trouble exploring and identifying different features to make your book even better than how you imagined it in your head which can be a pain for a new user, using some of the more complex programs like Affinity Publisher or Adobe Indesign. Apple Pages will automatically place this text box onto the right side of your document where you want it to appear. To create a cover page, start by clicking “Insert” at the top left corner of your document window and then click on “Cover Page”. A cover page can be used for the front of a book or to divide sections in your manuscript. In addition to your book cover and internal images, you might want to add a cover page to break up chapters or large bodies of text.
