Collect the template and confirm the book details before changing anything in Vellum.

Use the Vellum Template project that matches this book's trim size and page count.
Download the purchased production file from the Available Downloads area in Projects.
Keep the downloaded filename unchanged so Vellum can read the template settings correctly.
Open the correct Vellum book project before adding the new page border.

Open the purchased project and download the Final PDF (Processed PDF) template to a location you can easily find.

In the matching Vellum book, open the book style controls and navigate to Background and Border.

Select the unchanged template file, apply it to the entire book, and set the multipage repeat option to all pages.

Switch Vellum to Print preview, inspect the edge artwork throughout the book, confirm the print color setting, and export.

Complete this final check before sending the exported file to a print provider.

The page border covers the intended pages and repeats through the entire book.
The edge artwork faces the expected direction and does not cover important page content.
The trim size, page count, bleed, and color settings match the planned print project.
The exported PDF passes the PrintedEdges PDF Validator before printer upload.
