Hi Nathan,
This is not exactly next door to you, but on several occasions (my own
wedding [I /wasn't/ the photographer], another wedding, and a photo/text
book of family photographs for my granddaughter), I have used Pikto in
Toronto, a high-end printing firm, and have been very pleased with the
results. But... I see no "international" sizes in their repertoire, the
closest would be 6x8.
Do take a quick look at <https://www.pikto.com/ca> if at all worth
considering, the top-level "Product Info & Pricing" page is
<https://www.pikto.com/ca/pricelist>. I'll give them a call today to ask
about printing from PDFs. If you had a specific question, I could follow
up with them.
Cheers,
Michael

I have in the past used Blurb to print my photo books. The service is good for
that. But now I have a different kind of book, a book where the text is the
important part and the photos are there just to illustrate. I have it as Word
file (native format) and an A5 PDF version that I have sent to a local printing
house here in Alicante. But their binding machine has broken, and given that we
have the Easter week coming up when nothing gets done in Spain, I do not have
high hopes of being able to print my book there any time soon.
I was therefore wondering if there are services out there which would allow me
simply to upload a PDF and have it printed professionally. I would prefer a
service in Europe since the sizing standards are different in the US, and so I
would have to reformat the book for half letter size instead of A5.
I know that Blurb can in principle deal with uploaded PDFs, but having read the
instructions I am not keen on dealing with the complications.
TIA,
Nathan
