ok so i just purchased scrivener from microsoft store, the downloaded version has no place when exporting to pdf, ebook or otherwise, to include your cover page nor a place to include a back cover, that includes physical print, i went through all menu options, it is just not there anymore, i see older version videos on how to include it on print only, but i need it to be included everywhere as an option and the latest version on the microsoft store doesn’t allow you to include it anywhere, plus it is getting rid of my spacing on compile, i want it to be double spaced, times new roman 12 point and it gets rid of all of my setup when compiling
how do you fix both of these issues?
Create a colorful Cover and Backcover and add them to the compiled PDF using Acrobat Pro.
Alternatively, compile to Word or RTF and design your book in InDesign or Affinity Publisher to create a professionally designed paperback. Create the cover as a separate document, so it can be printed separately from the black-and-white interior of the book. Scrivener cannot create output past the margins as is necessary for Covers.

thanks, i created the front and back cover, i will have to get with the publisher to see how they handle it, i have acrobat pro, just wanted to do all this in one app, but it is ok if i have to do it in multiple, as it is, the chapter header has a 3 inch white gap from the top of page 1 to the number 1 before it starts my book, so i have to export out to word and clear up the junk that is left behind during compilation, it is all doable using word, just was looking to get something to replace word completely, its ok if i still have to use it and odbe, thanks again
adobe rather, my fingers get ahead of me sometimes
Just curious, what about the spine? It depends on the number of pages, and the type of paper used. With just a front and a back the book would be spineless.

not worried about the rest, this is mainly for EBooks, the spine itself for physical print will be up to the publisher as to what printing company they use, the edge can wrap the color as a full front blend to back which is easy enough to handle even in photoshop that all depends on the thickness of the book and the material used for print
