So I build a book for my photography to sell online. When I go to export the PDF file, for some reason many of the images will have a strange artifact.Where it will look like the top half of the image is torn and bleeds into a random image from later on in the document. I tried exporting a single page from the book , but when I only export a single page , it doesn't replicate the problem.

EDIT: problem solved. The issue was the "rasterize everything" setting. After I turned it off, the pdf exported correctly.

I am literally learning as I go. I created a 40 page document. Do those pages include the cover?

​

I'm assuming the cover will be a separate document, but i wasn’t sure.

I'm working on creating a photography book that would be available on Ingram Spark. I have Affinity Publisher, but trying to figure it out has been frustrating. I've looked at Blurb and Magcloud a bit. Unsure about either. If anyone has experience building books, I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Any tools or templates I should look into?

Hi y'all. I'm a photographer working on pitching a coffee table photography book to a publisher. To do that, I need to build the book as a pdf. To be frank, I am struggling. I'm not a graphic designer and I find this sort of user interface overwhelming.

If anyone has any suggestions for videos thar are designed for beginners or anything else that may be helpful, I would appreciate it.

Edit: i appreciate everyone who has offered advice, but my question was not about amazon kdp. I am well versed in printing options and drawbacks on different options. I'm not pointing this out to chastise anyone. again, I appreciate you trying to give me advice, but I keep having to repeat the same answers to a question I didn't ask. Thank you for trying.
