Why AI detects front and back matter matters for authors

AI detects front and back matter in your Word DOC/DOCX manuscript, automatically identifying title pages, dedications, table of contents, forewords, appendices, and indexes so you get a correctly structured, print-ready PDF.

DocToPrint converts manuscripts into KDP, IngramSpark, or commercial printer-ready interiors with customizable trim sizes, fonts, spacing, drop caps, and consistent page numbering — all powered by our AI and editable via plain-English commands.

Vana, the built-in AI assistant, accepts simple instructions for formatting tweaks; choose the optional 'Human Fix' if you want a professional formatter to review. PDF output is delivered via secure presigned S3 links (24-hour validity, auto-regenerate on revisit).
