Yearbook Specifications & Documentation
Everything You Need to Know About Documentation Setup and Creating a Print-Ready PDF
Providing print-ready artwork is essential to minimise revisions and ensure a smooth production process. While we review your yearbook both manually and through our AI-powered proofing system, the accuracy and quality of the final product depend heavily on how well your pages are prepared. Proper setup not only helps us deliver your yearbook efficiently but also reduces the risk of errors during printing.
Page Specifications
We can print yearbooks from a PDF you supply assuming it has been prepared according to our specifications. PDFs can be created from a multitude of programs such as Canva, Adobe InDesign and more.
