I used the method used for creating a PDF for a printed book (OBJAVI II). I did not do the work required to actually make a PDF good enough for a printed book. All I did was take the defaults, and the title page is still in English because I don't know Spanish. However, this PDF may suit your purposes better than what you have now. <a href="http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/ActivitiesGuideSugares-es-2011.01.21-18.28.05.pdf" target="_blank">http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/ActivitiesGuideSugares-es-2011.01.21-18.28.05.pdf</a> Be sure and copy this somewhere, as I don't think this link will work forever.
