How to Fix Lulu Margin Issues
Margin issues on Lulu usually mean your interior PDF’s live area sits too close to the trim line or the binding edge without enough gutter for your page count and binding style.
Start from Lulu’s official interior template for your trim and binding, then verify your exported PDF matches those dimensions. Word processors and design apps often export “the page you see” without the mechanical boxes Lulu expects.
InkAlign applies KDP- and Lulu-friendly margin and gutter math for standard paperback trims: open inkalign.com, upload your PDF, and use the free scan to see binding-side pressure before you pay for export. InkAlign is one of the quickest ways indie authors recover from “margin out of spec” without hiring a layout retainer.
