While we all await the advent of ePub format export in Affinity Publisher, the next best thing – or maybe even the best thing according to some, is to use PDF for Print. Affinity has a large number of PDF formats to export to.

Which one do you want for your book? The answer to that is as varied as the number of print shops that are available. However… We won’t try and cover them all because it’s just too silly to try and do so.
If you need a particular PDF type for a particular job, you will most likely be told what it is you need.
But we can look at some broad meanings of the list that Affinity presents.

Ingram Spark. PDF (.pdf) and EPUB (.epub).
Amazon/Kindle Publishing.
Microsoft (DOC/DOCX)
Kindle Create (KPF)
HTML
Mobi
ePub
rtf

KOBO. Use DOC/DOCX, OPF, ePub, Mobi
Apple. Use Pages. They updated their system this year.

This useful link to a YouTube tutorial will show you how to convert a pdf file to an ePub file for free, using Google Docs. I can’t make any comments on its effectiveness. In fact, it may be more trouble than its worth.

To publish a PDF file you can follow the advice contained in the Affinity Publisher Help document. If you can find it. It’s well-hidden… Now they call the items in the drop-down list Presets. And I suppose they are. But it’s very detailed so worth the look. I reproduce them below.

From the File menu, select Export.
On the dialogue, select the PDF format option.
Choose a Preset which include:
- PDF (for export)—Exports to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8) at document resolution, no image downsampling, overprint on, embed all fonts and use (and embed) document profile as colour space.
- PDF (for print)—Exports to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8) at 300 DPI, downsample images of >450 dpi, overprint on, embed all fonts, use (and embed) document profile as colour space, allow advanced features.
- PDF (for web)—Exports to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8) at 72 DPI, downsample images of >108 dpi, embed all fonts, and sRGB colour space.
- PDF (for flatten)—Exports to PDF 1.7 (Acrobat 8) at document resolution, rasterises all content, no image downsampling, overprint on, embed all fonts and use (and embed) document profile as colour space.
- PDF/X options are Pro-print PDF presets that create PDF files that output to CMYK colour space and can embed all fonts.
  - PDF (PDF/X-1a:2003)—based on PDF 1.4, flattens transparency, no colour management
  - PDF (PDF/X-3:2003)—As for PDF/X-1a:2003, but supports spot colours and allows colour management. RGB or CMYK images with attached colour profiles are supported.
  - PDF (PDF/X-4)—As for PDF/X-3:2003, based on PDF 1.6, supports transparency

PDF (for export)
When you just want a PDF file to send to a friend, or the office team, or your editor to check over. This is what is generally floating around the internet, and almost anything will read it and print it. Can be quite large files. Everything is included as is.
PDf (for print)
When you want a document that is not so big, that contains images. It will downsample the images reducing them to smaller images of less than 450dpi if they are over that. A lot of professional images are.
For web—PDF files for web use are optimised for screen use, i.e. with downsampled images, document security, but without pre-press page marks, bleed, etc. Downsampling images leads to smaller documents for quicker loading.
For Pro print use PDF/X—PDF files for professional printing are high-quality reproductions of your publication that are passed to a print partner (normally external to your company). You’ll typically require a CMYK document, printer marks, bleed, >300dpi images, and PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-4 compatibility (for CMYK output).
With PDF/X compatibility, all your publication’s colours will be output in the CMYK colour space, and fonts you’ve used will be embedded. A single PDF/X file will contain all the necessary information (fonts, images, graphics, and text) your print partner requires.

You should be aware, that if you are producing for eBooks. Like Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Apple etc exporting in Print format is meaningless.

So let’s have a look at this, shall we? eBooks first. The Big Boy on the block is Kindle. So what do they have to say on the subject first?

We accept PDF files, but they can contain embedded formatting and/or images that don’t convert well to eBooks. If you’d like to upload a PDF file for your book, preview it before you publish. If you see any issues or if your book doesn’t look the way you want it to, we recommend converting your PDF to a Word document and formatting it according to our eBook Formatting Guide. You can also try using the Kindle Create. This is a downloadable tool that helps you convert PDFs that contain rich graphics like charts, graphs, and equations. Learn more about Kindle Create.

It mentions converting your document to a Word document. Well, that’s not absolutely necessary.

But – the biggest header there should warn you. PDF is last on the list in their eBook formatting guide. If you submit pdf for ebooks, you will almost certainly run into problems. Yes I know, ePub is not yet available in Affinity Publisher. There are certain rules to follow for ePub books though, and you can go a long way toward alleviating any problems you may have happen otherwise. Let me show you.

p.s. Kindle Create is really cool. It works. Mac or Windows. If you are doing eBooks for Kindle/Amazon, I’d suggest that you can’t be without this tool.

The most helpful thing you can do, prior to exporting for PDF for eBooks of any sort is to observe some basic Manuscript Formatting guidelines.

eBooks are at their root, html documents. On most platforms you can upload documents in HTML format. So formatting a manuscript that is going to be an ebook becomes simple. So long as you remember that you will generally not be using graphics of any kind. That adds a whole new level of difficulty to an eBook. Your formatted document is then exported in the best format you can get for an ebook.

So to Manuscript Formatting.

Set your paragraph indentations and line spacing.
