Quick answer

## The short version

Count document pages and photo pages separately. A title page adds to the PDF even when the first photograph is called photo page one in the editor. Clear numbering helps relatives request a correction and prevents a printer handoff from relying on the wrong total.

## A practical workflow

Write a simple page allocation before layout. Include the title page, photograph pages and any planned end matter. Check whether the destination counts covers separately from interior pages; do not assume its convention matches your PDF. In Memory Book Studio, the title page comes first and photo pages display subsequent PDF page numbers. Use the downloaded document’s actual page count when discussing delivery, and keep the editor’s photo sequence for internal arrangement.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A book with nine photo pages exports ten PDF pages because the title page is additional. A note referring to PDF page 7 points to photo page 6 in the editing sequence. The handoff sheet states both counts so reviewers identify the intended page.

## Check before you finish

1. Count the title page explicitly.
2. Distinguish document pages from photo sequence.
3. Verify the actual downloaded page count.
4. Confirm a printer’s counting convention separately.

## Choose the next step for your task

Memory Book Studio saves a captioned photo story with fitted images, ordering and three fixed themes. Editing and previewing are free; exporting a new saved revision costs three account credits. Repeat downloads of that exported revision use no additional credits. Projects expire ten days after creation. Use the free Image to PDF tool when one image per page completes your task.
