Create a publication from a PDF file

How to upload a PDF and convert it into a Joomag publication.

Written by David Aslanyan

You can create a publication from scratch, a predesigned template, or a PDF file. Use the following guidelines to create a publication from a PDF file:

  1. On the My Publications page open the collection where you want to create the publication and click the Create publication button.

  2. Make sure you are on the Create from PDF tab.

  3. Click browse files and select the required file from your device, or drag it directly to the designated area.

  4. Once the PDF is uploaded you will see general information about it: number of uploaded pages, PDF size and dimensions.

  5. Choose the layout type (in case your PDF has more than 1 page) and click More Options if you want to specify additional information about your publication.

Tip: If you are not sure which layout type to choose, read more here.

6. Click the Create Publication button and wait a couple of minutes until the conversion finishes.

To get the best experience your PDF should:

  • have equal-sized pages

  • contain at least 1 page and a maximum of 1000 pages (for the Facing Pages layout, at least 3 pages)

  • be single-spread

  • have less than 300MB size (Enterprise account users may upload PDFs up to 450MB)

Once the conversion is complete you'll find your new publication in the collection. Edit and enrich it with interactive elements.
