Hi everyone

Not sure if I am posting this in the right place, please move it if it's not

I was wondering if anybody could please point me in the right direction as to some programs/tutorials/URL's etc that offer free advice on how to design a ebook/ePattern for download and sale. I do have Adobe PDF creator but I was wondering if anyone could advice me as to what program they design their tutorials in before converting it into a PDF. The kind of PDF 's I am interested in creating are the ones similar to the ones used on youcanmakethis.com etc. I have access to most of the Adobe programs Photoshop etc (although I have never really used them, but willing to learn )
If anybody has created one of these could you please let me know what programs you used to design it in before converting it?
Also any useful blogs or websites with tips on how to create your tutorials ebooks/ePatterns etc if you know of any?
I have seen on many ebooks many directions written on top of photgraphs and diagrams, arrows, cutting marks etc. Do you know how to do this or know what program to use to achieve this?
Soooooooooo sorry for all of the questions. I have been googling this for weeks and still none the wiser
Thank you very,very much for any help in advance
