Peter, greetings, You can use your iPhoto PDF. We have several creators who use iPhoto to create the PDF and then upload the PDF to Viovio for printing.

I would use a theme with a white background. I say that because we recommend that your file be .25 larger than the final trim size for bleed. The iPhoto file is exactly 11x8.5, so if you have a dark background then when we trim your book you may see a tiny bit of white on the sides.

Here is a link to our iPhoto page

Here is another link that may be helpful
The book won't be the same because they use a different print process than e use

iPhoto 4 failed book order workaround

Posted: Sun 16 of Nov, 2008 (18:10 UTC),
Created — and compiled — a photo book using iPhoto 4 ("Storybook" theme). When I went to order the book, I was informed Apple no longer supports iPhoto 4. I found the "hidden" Quartz PDFContext file generated in OS X 10.2.8 when I tried to order my book from Apple. Can I upload this PDF (version 1.3, Acrobat version 4.x) — complete with trim lines — to Viovio and expect a similar book as what Apple used to deliver?
