Any Advice for making a beautiful looking Ebook PDF?

5 replies
1.I am finished the sales page.

2. The content is great!

3. What I am searching for is some advice on how to make the PDF file (the ebook) look better than just the text, pictures and videos included inside.

Do any of you guys have any experience with this? If you do, please share!

    As far as I know you cannot have a video inside the pdf ... but you can do a trick that many people do, which is adding a screen shot of the video player with a link to the video in a external page uploaded in the web

    And about the look, i don't think that you should push on the graphics a lot to keep people focused on the content, but a nice looking ebook never hurts, and making graphics for a pdf is not that hard, a book cover in the first page and some diagrams and screen shots along the way would be perfect .

      Rubbish!

      A great looking ebook that is visually appealing also helps lower refund rates dramatically.

    Videos can easily be put into PDF's by using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

    Thanks for the props John, much appreciated.

    Now, about the "push the graphics" comment....let me just say that done correctly, adding such elements can add value to your product taking your "brand" to the next level.

    I will however agree that overdoing it can be a distraction to the content, but you can have a balance and come out with a very striking product when done correctly
