KDP book formatting

Keep the manuscript editable and export it for the selected publishing format.

BoundHive connects headings, sections, trim, bleed, margins, images, and final page count to the files delivered in the project export.

What does BoundHive actually do?

BoundHive stores manuscript sections as editable structured content, sanitizes them, and produces DOCX, EPUB, and PDF review or print files as appropriate. Print layout uses the selected trim and current margin rules; validation reports unresolved file and asset issues.

Deliverables

What you get

  • DOCX manuscript

  • Print interior PDF sized for the selected trim and bleed choice

Workflow

How it works in the product

  1. Choose format before layout

    An eBook reflows; a print book has a fixed trim, margins, and final page count.

  2. Edit structured sections

    Headings and sections remain independently reviewable instead of being flattened early.

  3. Resolve image slots

    Generated or uploaded images belong to explicit manuscript positions with alt text and captions.

  4. Validate and export

    The package includes the files plus the rules version and remaining findings.

What this does not guarantee

  • Automated layout cannot replace visual inspection of every page.
  • Complex tables, equations, footnotes, or typography may need specialist desktop-publishing work.
  • Amazon can reject issues outside the checks named in the report.
