How These Dimensions Are Calculated
spine_width = 700 pages × 0.002500" = 1.7500"
pdf_width = (2 × 6") + 1.7500" + 0.25" = 14.0000"
pdf_height = 9" + 0.25" = 9.2500"
pdf_width = (2 × 6") + 1.7500" + 0.25" = 14.0000"
pdf_height = 9" + 0.25" = 9.2500"
The 0.25" added to both width and height accounts for 0.125" bleed on each side. Your cover image must extend into this bleed area to avoid white edges after trimming.
