When you print a novel you've posted to pixiv through pixivFACTORY, you can edit the colophon information and body text settings on the Customize page.
The changes you make using Customize will only be reflected in the manuscript you submit for printing. The title and body text of the work you posted on pixiv will not be changed.

Editing the title or creator name

About book spines:
- Depending on the number of pages and the number of characters in the title, the series title and work title may not appear on the book spine.
- When using the cover templates below, if the number of pages is fewer than 100, the series title, work title, and creator name will not be printed on the spine, no matter the number of characters.
*If you wish to use a cover other than the automatically generated one, adjust the cover size using the doujinshi template's A6 cover and upload it via pixivFACTORY's printing page.
