HOW TO DESIGN
Not a designer? Not a problem. We've created tools to assist all levels of designers quickly and easily through the layout process of your AsukaBook. It is also important to have a properly calibrated monitor, follow proper layout techniques, and to organize your files for production.

COLOR MANAGEMENT
To ensure that the colors you see on your monitor will closely match your printed book, it is essential to have the appropriate printer profile and a properly calibrated monitor. By placing an AsukaBook order you take full responsibility for the layout, content, and color in your design.

FILE CHECKER
AsukaBook has developed the application File Checker which will create a PDF file from your designed files. File Checker is a must, unless you are using AsukaBook Maker*, to use since the PDF created is the only form of file our system allows for an upload of your order. The program will verify resolution, pixel dimension, file names, color profiles, and number of pages to help ensure a perfect book, in addition to making a PDF file for your new order!
AsukaBook Maker generates an equivalent file to a file created by File Checker.
