2. Quick Tours

In this chapter 3 different workflows for building a new Mz3 Book from scratch are demonstrated.
All use standard settings to achieve quick results.

1. from PDF:
   Convert a PDF file and use the created “page images” as pages for a new Mz3 Book
2. from Images created with a design tool
   Create an empty Mz3 Book of the correct size and number of pages and fill it with prepared images (JPG/PNG) that have been exported from a Tool like InDesign (or Word or Corel or Quark or …)
3. from Photos
   Build a photo book from scratch in setting page number and page size for a new Mz3 Book and then import a bunch of collected photos, arranging them automatically on “layout positions” on pages.

Such quickly created books can be fine tuned in next steps, e.g.:

• Add Pages
  See the chapter Delete or Insert Pages

• Exchange Pages
  Load another PDF file (new Version, selected different pages, other language) or select additional/new/different page images
  • Use Other PDF
    Load another PDF file as base for additional/different content for an already existing book
  • Add Page Images
    Add or exchange “page images” (images used as page background)

• Quality Settings
  Change/improve the quality of Page Images created by a PDF Conversion.
  Pixel resolution, page Size, JPG quality, and other parameters can be adjusted
  Convert PDF
  Convert a Pdf (again) to change settings

• Change Page Format
  It is possible changing width/height and aspect ratio, as well as the kind of pages: Single or double page book.
  See Basic Settings to change such parameters

• Add Book Background Image
  It is possible adding a Book Background, i.e. the background of the book’s container (window).

• “Add Elements to Pages”
  Elements, i.e. images, video, sound or links can be added to selected pages; see Add Elements

• Add Language
  See Language Selection

• Add content in a different language
  See Use other PDF
  If the language code (like “en”, “de” or “es”) is part of the file name (i.e. following the guidelines where the last 3 characters should be an underscore “_” followed by the language code, e.g. like “_de” as in “myPhotos_es.pdf”), all is done automatically. Alternatively you can enter the new language code when selecting a new PDF; or later using the See Language Selection option.
