Quick answer

## The short version

Share the PDF as a finished reading copy, not as the family’s only photo archive. Explain what the book contains, whether any pictures were restored and who to contact about corrections. Review the recipient list and sensitive details before distributing the file.

## A practical workflow

Open the exported PDF on another device and inspect a few early, middle and final pages. Confirm that names, photos and page order are correct. Use a short descriptive filename with a version or date. Choose a delivery method suitable for the audience and file size. Download and preserve the file before the project’s ten-day expiry. A normal PDF can be forwarded by its recipients; use an appropriately controlled sharing method when the contents should remain limited.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: The family receives lake-house-memories-v2.pdf with a note that two images were digitally restored and one date is approximate. The sender keeps the full source photographs and notes in an independent archive, so correcting the book later does not require recovering images from the PDF.

## Check before you finish

1. Review the exported PDF on another device.
2. Use a descriptive versioned filename.
3. Explain edits and known uncertainty.
4. Preserve originals and the PDF independently.

## 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.

## FAQs
