Book Front Matter Builder
Build the opening pages of a book with editable layouts and print-friendly exports.
Creates new title, edition, dedication, acknowledgment and preface pages. Includes editable text, page order, alignment and print sizing. It does not supply legal language or modify an existing book; combine the exported pages in your publishing editor.
Using Book Front Matter Builder
Build the opening pages of a book with editable layouts and print-friendly exports.
- Start with the ready page set or use Custom page. Edit the book details in Workflow settings.
- Drag records or use the up/down controls to set the order. Edit the selected page or item in Details & settings.
- Use Preview to inspect the staged result. Undo and redo are available for settings and review decisions. Save the review project to continue later.
- Open Export to download the task-specific result or a portable review report. Reopen document exports in your normal reader before sharing. Keep the original source files with any saved project.
Example
The starter book has four included pages and an optional preface. Replace the title and author, edit the dedication, add a custom page and drag the pages into your preferred order.
Questions & answers
What can this tool do?
Creates new title, edition, dedication, acknowledgment and preface pages. Includes editable text, page order, alignment and print sizing. It does not supply legal language or modify an existing book; combine the exported pages in your publishing editor.
Does this upload or overwrite my source files?
Processing is performed in this browser and exports are new downloads. Sources are kept in memory. Review projects contain decisions and source fingerprints, not original source bytes. Public pages retain existing approved ads and optional analytics.
Can I save and reopen the project?
Yes. Save review creates a JSON project. Reopen it with the exact original files; filename and SHA-256 checks prevent applying decisions to different documents. Front matter can reopen without any source files.
What are the limits?
Use up to eight files, 25 MiB each and 80 MiB total. Text imports are limited to 2 MiB. DOCX/EPUB packages are limited to 120 MiB expanded and 5,000 ZIP entries. Exact Word or ebook-reader pagination is not reproduced in the structural preview. Use unsigned, unencrypted source copies.
