Convert to PDF without producing a cover

DbON · 09-22-2022, 06:39 AM

Hi,
as the title says , I want to convert to pdf, but NOT produce any cover.
I am converting to PDF for Amazon KDP paperback. Converting to PDF works very well. HOWEVER, it leaves me with a cover page, which I do not want.
How do I convert WITHOUT producing a cover page ?
( As you no doubt know, Amazon requires a separate PDF for paperback covers anyway ).

thanks in advance,

Just use any of a number of tools that can remove the first page from the PDF.

Edit source in Word or LO Writer with correct page sizes, margins etc and export a PDF from Word or Writer.

I've used the PDF conversion in Calibre and PDF print from Viewer. They are fine for personal use with a source that's only in ebook format. You really need to make a suitable styled WP file and Export PDF for publishing on paper, via Amazon or anyone else.
