This page documents the process how getting access to the PediaPress PDF rendering and ordering service for Wikipedia books.
Why two different renderers?
- The Wikipedia PDFs are rendered by Wikipedia and are optimized for rendering speed and for at-home printing on A4 paper. They are supplied in electronic-only format for free download.
- The PediaPress PDFs, on the other hand, are rendered on the PediaPress web site and are optimized for quality and for professional book printing on A5 paper. Because this higher-quality rendering is very resource intensive, it is not suitable for the wiki itself or for home downloads.

When you edit a book, a link to PediaPress appears in the main dialog.
