Choosing and downloadingthe right InDesign templates

To make an acceptable PDF, your InDesign files mustbe based on one of the ubyu product formats, sizes and

cover types. We have prepared templates for each one.

There are thirty-six different InDesign templates forcover artwork. We offer three book formats; Portrait,Landscape and Square, in three sizes; Small, Mediumand Large. You can chose from four cover types;Softback, Hardback with printed cover, Hardback withcloth cover and Hardback with dust jacket. Each covertemplate comes with the correct accompanying contenttemplate.

To help you choose, every template is shownat the end of this document in the appendix.

Once you know which is right for you, go to theInDesign templatespage of the ubyu website anddownload your cover and content templates.

Adjusting the InDesign cover templateto accommodate varying spine widths

The greater number of pages in your book, the

bigger the spine of your book will be. This means thatyou will be required to adjust your cover template toaccommodate the correct spine dimension.

Once you know the number of pages in your book, youcan use the Spine Calculatoron the ubyu website towork out the dimension of your spine. The principle isthat the spine width is 10mm for a 28 page documentand this increases by 0.5mm per 6 pages. For example,34 pages = 10.5mm spine.

You will find explicit instructions for adjusting thetemplate in the InDesign file itself. Remember, if you doadjust the spine dimension, you will also need to adjustthe overall document size by the same amount.

InDesign PDF Guidelines

These guidelines will ensure that creating your book with InDesign is a simple

and seamless process. We want you to upload perfect cover and content

PDFs that sail through our preflight check and print just as you want them to.

Read these guidelines now and save yourself time and trouble later.

The correct specification for your images

CMYK/RGBYour book will be printed in CMYK, but it is likelythat the images you are working with are RGB files.The good news is, that as long as you are usingubyus InDesign templates (see section 1), our colour

management settings and ICC profiles (see section 3)and our PDF job options (see section 4), you will notneed to convert your RGB images to CMYK.

However, once printed in CMYK, RGB images mayappear different to how you have been seeing themon your screen. If you would like to preview your RGBimages as CMYK, without physically changing them,this can be easily done in both Adobe Photoshop andInDesign using the methods described below. ubyuscolour settings files and ICC profiles must first beinstalled (see section 3).

In Adobe InDesign, under the View menu, select ProofSetup and choose Document CMYK. This displays thepage as CMYK without actually converting the files.

In Adobe Photoshop, under the View menu, selectProof Setup and choose Working CMYK. Then underthe View menu, select Proof Colors to see the imagedisplayed as CMYK without actually converting the file.The keyboard shortcut for this is Apple P.

Viewing images on screenIt is worth noting that images viewed on screen will only

give an accurate representation of colour if viewed ona good quality screen that has been calibrated andprofiled using the appropriate software and calibrator.

Image resolution300dpi is the standard resolution for publishing.This will produce the best results for high-qualityphotographic images. Lower resolutions of as littleas 150dpi will be accepted but may appear pixilatedor blurred when printed. For qualitys sake, imagesbelow 150dpi cannot be accepted.

There is a maximum sizerestriction of 120mm x 60mm for each artwork,and we recommend that you avoid designsfeaturing very fine detail.

Artworking your content template

right side as you open the cover, and the last page will beon the left side. Please note that hardback books includeendpapers that precede and follow the printed pages ofyour book. Remember that the total number of pages inyour book must always be a multiple of two.

To protect your text and images they should be keptwithin the shaded area. If you would like your imagesto extend to the very edge of your finished book, extendyour artwork to the red bleed line.
