This page documents the process how getting access to the PediaPress PDF renderer for Wikipedia books.
Why two different renderers?
- The Wikipedia PDFs, made available by clicking "Download PDF", are optimized for speed and for at-home printing on A4 paper
- The PediaPress PDFs, on the other hand, are optimized for quality and for professional book printing on A5 paper
Because this higher-quality rendering is very resource intensive and not very useful for at-home printing, it is only made available upon request.
Requesting a book to be rendered by PediaPress
When you edit a book, a link to PediaPress appears in the main dialog.
Click the link and you will be taken to the PediaPress website upload page.
Trusted revisions
To get a book rendered with trusted revisions, add "trusted" (in lowercase) at the end of the email subject. For example "Book:Canada - trusted".
- For more information on trusted revisions, see the WikiTrust website.
