Hello all, new person here. Just thought I'd ask a question for those that do self-publishing. I made sure to read the newbie guides as well as searching the forums prior to posting, so I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed before (and mods, please feel free to delete and let me know if it's in bad taste or belongs in a different forum). With that being said, thanks in advance for your time!
My questions are: Have you ever had problems with the printing quality of books printed on demand, and do you know if these problems were caused by corrupt or erroneous PDF or source files from your manuscript?
If there was an online tool that sort of checked each aspect of your manuscript (embedded fonts, transparencies, image quality, etc) to help prevent these sort of "printing problems caused by files" would you use it? If so, would you pay a nominal fee for that sort of "piece of mind?"
Please keep in mind that I'm not referring to formatting in the traditional sense (like margins, font type, or pre-press editing), more like the file integrity prior to printing.
Thank you very much in advance!
