Formatting for Kindle Direct Publishing

[janet115]

Hi,  

I'm trying to get a children's book self-published on Amazon KDP after doing  the layout design in Affinity Publisher.  KDP  keeps  rejecting for formatting issues.  Does anyone know what settings to use in creating the initial format for this?

Hi Janet115,

Welcome to the forums

Please could you tell me if you have exported to pdf/x-1a:2003?

Thanks

Hi Janet115, have you tried rasterizing everything during export to PDF? I recently spent about a week trying to figure out KDP's mystery "there was a problem with your file" error and that solved it for me.
