I have a fully-designed, 20-page children’s book created in Apple Pages. Each spread is currently 8.5" × 11" with text on the left and an illustration on the right. I now need the entire book reduced to a 6" × 9" trim size—roughly a 60 % reduction—while still looking polished and well-balanced. I’m not tied to keeping the original left/right split exactly as is; feel free to reposition text and images so the pages breathe and everything remains legible. I’ll supply the Pages file, the original high-resolution images, and my exact font and size preferences for the new layout. Please make sure the illustrations stay crisp, the text aligns cleanly with consistent margins, and all pages are ready for upload to a standard print-on-demand platform. Deliverables: • Updated Apple Pages file at 6" × 9" • Print-ready PDF (300 dpi, embedded fonts, bleed if needed) If you’re comfortable wrangling Apple Pages and have an eye for children’s book design, I’d love to hand this over to you right away.

Hi, I’d be happy to help resize and redesign your 20-page children’s book from 8.5" × 11" to a 6" × 9" trim size while keeping it polished, legible, and visually balanced.

Deliverables will include: • Updated Apple Pages file at 6" × 9" • Print-ready PDF (300 dpi, embedded fonts, with bleed if needed) • Consistent margins, aligned text, and crisp, high-resolution illustrations I’ll ensure all spreads retain their charm and clarity while meeting print-on-demand requirements. Important questions for clarity: Are there any spreads where you want the original layout strictly preserved? Do you want minor adjustments to font sizes or spacing for the smaller trim size?
