Ebook formatting

Ebook and EPUB formatting as a companion to print interiors

DocToPrint is primarily a print-interior formatter. Once your manuscript structure is confirmed, the same project can also produce an EPUB companion file.

Structure first

The print workflow helps identify chapters, front matter, and back matter before EPUB generation.

No extra print credit

EPUB generation uses the same project structure and does not consume a second formatting credit.

Clean companion output

Use the ebook file alongside the print-ready PDF for a more complete self-publishing package.

Workflow

A focused route from manuscript to files.

DocToPrint stays intentionally narrow: Word manuscript in, structured book interior out.

  1. 1
    Complete the print manuscript structure review.
  2. 2
    Generate the print interior.
  3. 3
    Create the EPUB companion file from the same project.

Best as a companion file.

  • You want an EPUB after the print structure has already been cleaned up.
  • You need the chapter order and front/back matter to match the print project.
  • You prefer to reuse one structured manuscript workflow.

Not the right tool for

  • A standalone ebook design suite with retailer-specific metadata management.
  • Fixed-layout picture books or heavily illustrated children's books.
  • Audiobook production or narration.
Questions

What to know before you upload

Is EPUB the same as PDF?

No. EPUB is reflowable for ereaders, while the print PDF is fixed layout for manufacturing.

Should I make the print file first?

For DocToPrint, yes. The EPUB uses the same reviewed structure, so the print cleanup step helps both formats.

Does EPUB cost another credit?

The EPUB companion uses the same project structure and does not require a separate print-formatting credit.
