Getting your document in
Whatever you made your document in, there is a route into Living Page. These guides give the exact steps for each app, and the few settings that make the difference between a document that looks right and one that doesn’t.
Which route to take
Section titled “Which route to take”| You have | Upload | Plans |
|---|---|---|
| A PDF | The PDF as it is | Every plan |
| A PowerPoint deck | The .pptx, or a PDF you export |
.pptx: paid plans. PDF: every plan |
| A Word document | The .docx, or a PDF you export |
.docx: paid plans. PDF: every plan |
| An EPUB ebook | The .epub |
Paid plans |
| Anything else | Export a PDF from the app | Every plan |
When the layout matters, export the PDF yourself. You see exactly what you are sending before you send it, and PDF works on every plan.

Three things that apply to every app
Section titled “Three things that apply to every app”- Export single pages, not spreads. The reader makes its own spreads.
- Keep it under 50 MB. Screens need far less image detail than print, so a smaller file usually looks the same.
- Keep your links clickable. Some export settings quietly turn links into plain text.
The general guide, Preparing your file, covers what we accept and what every upload error means.
