Cannot order album I created on Iphoto

If you're saving the PDF to send to Mimeo hold down the Option key and click on the Buy button. That will give you the opportunity to create a PDF file identical to the file that was uploaded to Apple for printing. Mimeo uses that format to print the book complete with dust jacket.

So you get a pdf file with the dust jacket:

Apple is no longer offering print services for books. The last orders had to be placed by September 30 last year. Older versions of Photos and iPhoto are still showing the Buy Book buttons and allow you to create the books, but the Print Products stores are now closed (Create and order print products in Photos with Project Extensions - Apple Support).

As your book is ready to be printed, you may want to save the preview of your book as a PDF file and send it for printing to a print service, that can print Apple Books from PDF files.

• Mimeo used to print for Apple and can handle PDFs created in Photos, see: https://import.mimeophotos.com
• Also Presto Photo can print from Apple PDF files: https://www.prestophoto.com
• If you are not located in the US, there may be local printing services, which would be more economic with respect to international shipping fees and shipping time. In Germany we can use photographerbook to print existing Apple PDF files: https://www.w2p-photographerbook.de/fotobuch-aus-aperture-iphoto-fotos
