🧩 How to Render Puzzle Books in Multiple Formats (PDF, Sizes, Samples)

📘 Overview

Rendering is the final step where your puzzle book becomes a finished, usable product.

In Puzzle Book Studio, you can:

  • Render full puzzle books (PDF and other formats)
  • Create multiple book sizes (e.g., 6×9, 8.5×11)
  • Generate sample/demo books

The key advantage:

You can reuse the same puzzles to create multiple products without recreating anything.
