Juan,

Greetings from PrestoPhoto and thanks for your interest.

You can just use your iPhoto PDF. We have several creators who use iPhoto to create the PDF and then upload the PDF to PrestoPhoto 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.

Also, if you would like you could save the iPhoto PDF from iPhoto (print - save as pdf) and open the PDF in acrobat and save as a postscript file (print-save as poscript file). In page setup set the scaling to around 85% to reduce the document size to 9 x 7 with bleed), than create a PDF from the postscript file in distiller. Don't scale the file if you would like to create an 11x8.5 on PrestoPhoto.

There is any way to check out the prints quality?
