I'm trying to load a paperback into KDP. My margin settings look fine on Affinity, facing pages, 0.625, 0.3 asymmetric side margins for the gutters. Etc. I export All Pages to a PDF print, and I lose all of my margins. The text is set in the middle of the pages. KDP won't accept the file because some letters intrude into the center margin (and it looks funny anyway). I've spent a bit of time following suggestions but I can't find the problem. Any help appreciated.

Short version - I need to preserve my margin settings when I export to a PDF for print file.

Hi SkyBarksy,

Welcome to the forums :)

When you export your document are you using facing pages or single page spreads? I think Amazon only accept the latter I'm not sure if the margins error you are seeing could be caused by facing pages still being enabled. Does the PDF show incorrectly when reimported into Affinity or viewed in a PDF viewer?

Thanks
