Working with Cover Pages

Flow converts PDFs by analyzing the structure of each page and rebuilding the content into a responsive, single-column layout. The process works best when a page has a clear reading order and well-defined content.

In contrast, cover pages are often designed differently from the rest of a publication. Instead of focusing on structured content, they prioritize visual presentation and impact. As a result, they frequently contain elements that are more difficult to interpret automatically.

Common Characteristics of Cover Pages

  • Full-page background images
  • Layered content
  • Decorative typography
  • Text embedded in images

Your internal pages are more likely to contain more structured content. As a result, internal pages generally require significantly less editing than the cover page.

The video above demonstrates how you might edit your cover page after import to make it more suitable for a responsive reading experience.
