This page explains how to create a print-on-demand (PoD) book via the PediaPress PDF rendering and print ordering service for Wikipedia books.
Why two different systems?
- PDFs rendered by Wikipedia's Book Creator are optimized for rendering speed and for at-home printing on A4 paper. They are only supplied in electronic PDF format as a free download.
- The PediaPress editions, on the other hand, are rendered to PDF on the PediaPress web site and are optimized for quality and for professional book printing in a smaller (approximately A5 format. This higher-quality rendering is resource intensive, so it is not suitable for the wiki itself or for home downloads.
Sending 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.
