DOCX, PDF, and EPUB export
Finish with a book, not a pile of disconnected chapters.
Scriptorum compiles your ordered manuscript into DOCX, PDF, or EPUB 3. Choose the format for the next stage: editorial work, a page-oriented proof, or ebook reading.
The document needed by an editor is not the same file needed for a print proof or an ereader. Scriptorum compiles the same ordered manuscript into formats designed for those different stages.
Compile the manuscript once
Choose the ordered chapters and book information that belong in the export. A shared compile model carries chapter structure, front matter, back matter, scene breaks, images, and publication metadata into the selected output.
Useful presets provide starting points for an editable manuscript submission, a print-oriented proof, or a reflowable ebook. The formats share the book's structure without pretending their typography and page behavior are identical.
- Editable DOCX manuscript
- Print-oriented PDF
- Reflowable EPUB 3
- Book metadata and cover information
Inside The Lantern Archive
Use the export dialog to choose the format and review the book details. Chapter and scene order, metadata, front and back matter, and supported formatting share the same compile workflow.
| Format | Use it for | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| DOCX | Editing and editorial handoff | An editable manuscript document. |
| Page proofing | Stable, print-oriented page output. Check the printer’s specifications. | |
| EPUB 3 | Ebook reading | Text that reflows with the device and reader’s settings. |
Create a standards-compliant ebook
EPUB exports include package metadata, navigation, semantic XHTML, compatible styling, and embedded assets. Representative exports are checked against the official W3C EPUBCheck validator under EPUB 3.3 rules.
A reflowable ebook adapts to the reader's device and font preferences. It is not a screenshot of the manuscript page, and Scriptorum treats that distinction as part of the publishing workflow.
Inside The Lantern Archive
EPUB 3 adapts to the ereader’s font and display settings. Representative output passed EPUBCheck; check your own exported book in the reading systems you intend to use.
Retain an editable handoff
DOCX provides a familiar file for editorial collaboration and later production work. PDF provides a stable visual proof for reviewing page-oriented output. Writers can select the format that belongs to the next step instead of treating export as a single generic download button.
Inside The Lantern Archive
Use DOCX when another person needs to edit the file and PDF when you need a stable page proof. Check the receiving publisher or printer’s requirements before a final submission.
