Hi Hans!

Great questions. Take a look at this page: http://www.viovio.com/help/Security+Levels

It contains everything you need to know about making your books or certain books public.

Unfortunately, we don't have a way for you to save your book into DropBox or iTunes, though this is a great idea and we hope to offer it in the future!!

If there is anything further I can assist you with, please send an e-mail to support@viovio.com.

Warm regards,
Meghan

Hi there,
I recently started using the viovio app and I think this is a terrific and easy to use program. I wonder however, how I can save a copy, preferably at DropBox. Predently when I save then I get the info that it will be available in iTunes. But I never see it there. Your help would be appreciated.

Hi Jill!

Great question. You'll need to make your books public in order to share them. Right now, they are private. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to send a note to support@viovio.com

Warm regards,
Meghan

how do I share?

by Jill dinkel, Fri 07 of Jun, 2013 (04:20 UTC)
I wanted to send a link to friends/family to view a photo book I made. I tried copying the link for the page of the finished photo book, but that doesn't work... I can see the book, but nothing happens when you click on it. What am I missing?

Pages Missing from my Photo Book

by Carol Drum, Fri 22 of Mar, 2013 (19:54 UTC)
I uploaded a book from iPhoto. It looks great but the panels on the inside of the front and back of the book are not showing. I know they were part of the upload so how can I get them into the book?

Re: Pages Missing from my Photo Book

Hi Carol,

I tried e-mailing you about this also. I logged into your account and see the flaps are there, you just have to select "Dust Jacket Cover" on step 2.

Hope this helps! Please e-mail support@viovio.com if you have further questions.

Warm regards,

Loose Pages _ Portrait 8.5 x 11

by Madeline D, Sat 09 of Feb, 2013 (19:55 UTC)
This is my first time using this company for printing, and plan on ordering several portfolio books within the next few months

Right now, I am interested in ordering loose pages that are portrait 8.5 x 11, but I want to upload them as a PDF and not use the template program on the website.

How should I go about doing this?

Madeline,

Greetings from Viovio, we do offer Loose Pages!

You have the option to print the pages either double-sided, or 1-sided. For double-sided printing each side of a sheet of paper is considered a page, so each sheet of paper consists of 2 pages. The minimum page count is 10.

If you are capable of saving the project as a single Print ready PDF you can upload the loose pages here: http://www.viovio.com/products/pdf/

Once the project is uploaded you will be lead to your purchase options page where Loose pages will be one of the purchase options available to you. Here is an example: http://www.viovio.com/shop/26787

Before uploading the project I would review the margins. You can read all about this here: http://www.viovio.com/wiki/Cropping+And+Bleed

Kind regards,

Spine Text

by Suzanne, Thu 07 of Feb, 2013 (00:08 UTC)
It appears, much to my disappointment, that the spine text can't be centered on the spine. Appears as though it can only be on the upper and/or lower portion of the spine. I prefer mine in the center. Is there any workaround to have the spine in the center?

Also, what font size do you recommend for a 100-page hardcover photo album? I used 36 Tahoma, then tried 45, both of which barely show up in the preview panel. A moot point if the text can't be on the center of the spine, though. In that case, I need to look for a different photo book publisher.

Thanks,
Suzanne
