DOC to print-ready PDF
Exporting a .doc to PDF gives you a printed document. A paperback printer wants a typeset interior — trim-sized pages, mirrored margins, running heads. That's this.

Why Word's own PDF export isn't a book
Word can save any .doc as a PDF, but it prints the document as a document: letter-size pages, equal margins, no gutter for the binding, no running heads, page one on the title page. Upload the same .doc here instead and it's typeset like a trade paperback — chapter openers on their own pages, drop caps if you want them, front matter in publishing order, and page numbering that starts where a book's does.
To the printer's specs
- Interior PDF sized exactly to the trim you choose (6×9, 5×8, and the rest)
- Mirrored margins, with the inside gutter widened by KDP's published table as your page count grows
- Running heads and folios where a printed book carries them
- A store-ready EPUB from the same upload, at no extra step
- Preview every typeset page free before paying anything
