Print-ready PDF features that make formatting simple

Automatic chapter and front/back matter detection

AI scans DOC/DOCX manuscripts to identify chapter breaks, table of contents, dedication, and back matter so your PDF layout is accurate out of the box.

Customizable trim sizes, fonts and spacing

Pick standard trim sizes or enter custom dimensions, select fonts and line spacing, adjust margins and drop caps to match your print specifications.

Plain-English formatting with Vana, your AI assistant

Tell Vana what to change in plain English—'make chapter titles larger' or 'add page numbers starting at 5'—and get instant formatting updates.

Credit-based pricing with no expiry

Purchase credits for conversions that never expire; use credits when you need them and avoid recurring fees or hidden costs.

Optional Human Fix for manual corrections

If the AI misses something, request a Human Fix and a formatter will make manual adjustments to ensure print-quality output.
