• Typically, the converted data are stored in the Portable Document Format (PDF) developed by Adobe Corporation and it is now the industry standard for electronic publishing. In addition, the input data could be converted into other formats, such as XML, HTML, OEB, LIT, Glassbook, RCA Gemstar eBooks, etc.
• For black-and-white image files, the input resolution is 600 dpi, gray scale; for color image files, the input resolution is 300 dpi. The output resolution is typically 52 dpi, which could be upgraded up to 6,000 dpi or any specific requirements of the customers.
• The conversion could be in the forms of single layer (Clean Text) or double layer (Image with searchable ASCII).
• The final products could be stored on CDs, DVDs or online hosting. A typical CD contains 650 MB to 1000 MB of recordable memory space and a typical DVD contains 8 GB of recordable memory space.

• A PDF file size is created the same size as the final trim page size.
• The page text is centered on a given PDF page.
• The last page in a book shall be blank.

1.2 Double Layer Conversion (Image with searchable ASCII)

• Double layer conversion of input document, in agreed-upon format, except those determined by the processor to be unsuitable for manufacturing, and those excepted in the following points for reasons of their content.
• Agreed upon output formats may include the following:
