Ordering Apple photo book

Just spent dozens of hours creating an apple photo book for the family and grandparents, only to find out that this service (which I've been doing at Christmas for 6 years is no longer available.) I live in Canada and want an exact replica in terms of format/size/paper/finishes as I've created in the past. Is this possible using my current photo project and through whom?

Export your current project as a PDF file. Then upload it to one of the services, that can print from Apple Book PDF files.

Which version of Photos are you using?

Does the method described in the link not work? (https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/check-a-project-before-ordering-pht6e15caf3/3.0/mac/10.13). Open the book project to view the pages of the book, and ctrl-click or right click the background between the pages.


  • Press the Control key while you click in the background of your project, then choose “Save [project] as PDF.”

It's Photos 3.0 and I'm on High Sierra OS (just upgraded to see if that was the issue). There are quite a few pages where the photos save flipped/sideways/stretched, and then some pages look fine. No rhyme or reason to which formats are coming out wonky. Sometimes it's the same format template that works on one page and not on another. I saved it the way you described.
