Way of Formatting E-books to Convert them into PDF

You must have written good e book, and planned to make it public. Before you upload your e book you must format and convert it to PDF to gain maximum benefit from search engines too. Your e-book may have images, pictures, charts and other things for illustrating things in detail. But some publishers would just give preference to text only.
You can scan and add images in gif or jpg to your e book and add captions wherever needed. If you are using a lot of images in your e-book then make sure you use some desktop publication application for same. Make sure you have enough of space between illustration and text. You can include title page, copyright page, acknowledgment and table content. For copyright page take a already published book and use same type of formatting for copyright page, leaving aside unnecessary information.
Word document automatically generates table contents when you use headings for chapters titles and subtitles. Its good to label pages as page 1 especially for a e book its important. Adding more referencing at the end book is a good practice.
Now you have everything in word format and converting your e book from word to PDF is quiet easy. You can use any PDF converter and convert your e book into PDF.
