Hardback Glossy Page Photo Book A4

Yes, when uploading your PDF file for a hardcover glossy photo book, the PDF should include both the cover and all the inside content pages as single pages in one document. The first page of your PDF will become the front cover, and the subsequent pages will be the inside content pages. The inside front and back covers, as well as the binding sheets, are blank and cannot be printed, so they are not included in your PDF. Make sure your content pages match the book size exactly, use 300dpi resolution in RGB color profile, and keep a 10mm safety margin from the edges to avoid trimming.

No, the binding sheets in hardcover and softcover photo books are blank (white) and cannot be printed or coloured. They are structurally essential and remain unprinted.

Yes, that’s correct. In a hardcover photo book, the inside front cover (second page) and the pages near the end before the inside back cover (penultimate pages) are blank binding sheets. These binding sheets are white and cannot be printed on, as they are structurally essential for the book. Your PDF should not include these blank binding sheets; they are added automatically during production.
