How to Generate a Branded Ebook PDF

How to Generate a Branded Ebook PDF

When your ebook is ready, you turn it into a finished PDF with one click. SiteStakes builds a polished, branded file — your cover, your details, your design — that you can hand to a prospect or deliver through a form. Here's how to generate a branded ebook PDF and what you get.

What does generating a branded ebook PDF do?

When you generate a branded ebook PDF, SiteStakes turns your ebook into a finished, downloadable file. You don't lay out pages or export anything by hand. It renders the whole guide — cover, chapters, and closing — into a professional PDF with your branding already in place. The result is a file you can send to a lead, attach to a form, or download for yourself.

How do I generate a branded ebook PDF?

Open your ebook and click Generate PDF. SiteStakes builds the file in the background, and in a moment the button changes to View PDF. Click it to open or download your finished guide. That's the whole process — one click, no design work.

You can generate from the ebook library or from inside the editor. Either way, the file saves to your site, so it's ready whenever you need it.

Can I preview before I generate?

Yes. Preview PDF shows the finished guide with every token filled in — your name, phone, and city in place — exactly as a reader would see it. Use it to check your edits, then generate the final file when it looks right.

What's inside the branded PDF?

A lot of polish you don't have to build. Each PDF opens with your designed cover, then carries your logo, name, and contact details on the pages, pulled from your settings. The type is clean and professional, the pages are numbered, and longer guides get a clickable contents list. Every file is print-ready, so it looks sharp on a screen and on paper.

How big is the file, and how many pages?

Most guides run about ten to twelve pages, though it depends on the ebook. The file stays light, so it downloads fast and emails without trouble, while the cover stays high-resolution enough to print cleanly. You get a professional document without a heavy attachment.

Do I need to regenerate after editing?

Yes. If you edit your ebook content — reword a section, swap the cover, change your closing offer — generate the PDF again so the file picks up your changes. The new version replaces the old one, so there's only ever one current file to deliver.

What happens to the PDF after I generate it?

It saves to your site, ready to put to work. You attach it to a squeeze form, and from there it's delivered to each new lead automatically. One file can serve every visitor who opts in, so you generate a branded ebook PDF once and let it run.

Which plans can generate ebook PDFs?

Generating PDFs is included on the Grow and Pro plans. On Basic, you'll see the option with a prompt to upgrade when you're ready.
