What is a “proof” and why do I need one?

A proof is a way of ensuring that your PDF was made properly. Common errors are missing fonts or unembedded images and these problems will show up on the proof. You know your book better than anyone, so you are the best person to carefully check the job for any errors. For covers, we typically output a proof on the same paper used for the final job. Proofing color is not completely accurate due to color shifts.

A proof is an advanced copy of a book. We offer two forms of proofs – a standard proof or an e-proof. A standard proof is an actual book that is mailed to you. An e-proof is an e-mailed .pdf file in low resolution, which contains the final formatting for your book. The reason for getting a proof is so typos and other errors can be caught and changed before the final production happens.
