macOS Pages Upload
Guide for exporting and uploading your PDF from Apple Pages to our website
As of PrestoPhoto Version 2.0 of the App, we have now integrated photo book upload directly in the Apple Photos portion of the app. We do not, however, have direct upload capability from within the Apple Pages portion of the app. For now, you will need to upload PDF files directly using your web browser. For the instructions below, the screenshots should help you out, and we also have tutorial videos available in a YouTube playlist to help!
