Printing a book (just 1!)

jackdonaghy

I was looking for an equivalent to photobox where instead of uploading photos, I can upload text on each page. I'd like to format each page with colour schemes etc. Is this possible online? There seems to be american sites for book publishing but they seem really expensive and take ages. Any help appreciated! Not sure if this is the correct forum?

I know someone who went to a company who print docket books.
They printed off 3 books from a PDF document.
Looked good but not hardback or anything.

You might want to try someone like Aldi Photobook.

I've used CEWE in Germany before, and they are fine for one/two offs.

Why not just make a photo from each page of your words and use snapfish, blurb or another site? most of them have very good offers from time to time/for first time users.

Thanks for the suggestion. How do you mean make a photo? What I tried to do was say the word documents as a pdf and upload to photobox then in place of a pic but it won't recognise pdfs. Have to be jpegs. any way I can turn a word doc into jpeg?? I'm a bit clueless on this. I am familiar with formatting on photobox so would love if there was a way to do it on there.

I have not done much text work with photobox but can you not just copy and paste the text into a text aperture in the book creator on photobox?

I'm not sure if the quality would be 100% but
1. Get the dimensions in Word (or wherever you have the text) to match the dimensions of your books page.
2. Take a photo of each page, use snagit/'print screen etc.
3. In the photo book tool insert the images (which are your text).
