A  few years ago I designed pages for my ABC book using Adobe illustrator and now I want to make a book. 
So, from what I figured out is ...I need to place the PDF paged  into graphic frames in indesign! Am I right, is there a better way, or am I wrong altogether ?? 
 
My "dancing" text is contained in the  PDF pages which I created with Adobe Illustrator. Do I need to   outline text prior to placing into Indesign? I have read in LuLu that not having the text this may cause  printing errors. Therefore I'm wondering if I have to redo all 26 pages and put the text  directly into indesign on top of the graphics ???not sure  what to do?
 
Also, I want my graphics/pictures to cover the entire pages of my book (No margins!) How would I do this?
 
TY for all help !!!

Just place the .ai files in InDesign. If the fonts are on your machine, they will be embedded if you create a pdf from InDesign

Don't worry about that, lulu accepts pdfs from InDesign with embedded fonts:

I had a missing word  SORRY!

 

I have read in LuLu.com that not having the text   outlined   may cause  printing errors. Therefore I'm wondering if I have to redo all 26 pages and put the text  directly into indesign on top of the graphics ???not sure  what to do?
