Fix a PDF or EPUB export

Find a missing export button, fix book language or image errors, and check which edition buyers receive.

Find the export for your ebook

  1. Open an editable ebook from My products and go to Design & exports. If you uploaded a finished file and want to edit the text, start an editable manuscript project.
  2. Under Designed PDF, choose Export PDF. Under EPUB ebook, enter a Book language code such as en, fr, or es, then choose Export EPUB.
  3. Keep the page open while the file is prepared. When it’s ready, check your browser’s downloads. Open the EPUB in a compatible reading app to check the chapter links and images.
Genesize Design and exports with the Designed PDF and EPUB ebook cards.
Export both formats from the same editable ebook.

Fix an error before retrying

  1. If you see Add product content before exporting, open Content and add text to the ebook. Return to Design & exports and try again.
  2. If a chapter image can’t be accessed, reopen the ebook and check the image under Chapter images. Replace it if needed, then export again.
  3. If a finished cover can’t load, try again or choose Text cover in Design & exports. If the PDF font can’t display certain characters, replace those characters or choose Export DOCX to keep editing in Word.

PDF keeps a fixed page layout. EPUB lets readers change text size and may show different page breaks.

Check the version buyers will get

  1. In Publish & sell, choose PDF delivery and save the Store draft. Editable ebooks published with PDF delivery include both PDF and EPUB.
  2. Open Buyer Preview and choose Saved draft. Check Download preview PDF and Download preview EPUB before you publish.
  3. Publish the reviewed changes to offer this edition to new buyers. Earlier orders keep the edition and formats included at checkout.
