DanM. Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hi Again, I've completed a 386 page book using Affinity Publisher to publish on KDP. I'm having trouble exporting it into a PDF that is separate pages. This is my first book using Affinity Publisher and my first book using KDP. Does anyone have any experience with this? I created the book cover with Affinity Designer and it appears that the PDF export worked without any problems. Any help is greatly appreciated.

walt.farrell Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 In the Export dialog, choose "Area: All Pages" rather than "All Spreads". annamilano 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM. Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hi Walt, Sorry for the delay in my reply. Choosing All Pages in exporting worked well, thank you! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twolane Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 @annamilano - I've been using Publisher to produce and upload finished product to KDP's POD books for some time. Publisher is excellent software. When your book goes live, I highly recommend you order at least one to check your formatting and output. Welcome to the world of POD.

James O Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Having trouble with KDP acceptance of the file. Enter into Affinity Publisher: For an example: I have an 8.5 by 11 book as trim size. Set the Page to 8.625 x 11.25 for Bleed Then place the margins in the boxes as Gutter .625(min .5) Outside margins Top and side as .25. Bottom margin .35(min .25). Then I enter bleed into the Affinity boxes as .125. After exporting and downloading KDP, it will not accept the file. This is using "all pages" and "press ready" - have tried the flattening or rasterizing. My first book worked in Canva, But Affinity is much easier to work with in the development phase. Do you see a flaw in the method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamilano Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hi James, here are export settings that worked for me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James O Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Thank You Anna, It worked. I made it too complicated. Used the "PDF Print" and did not worry about flattening or rasterizing. It looks like that is taken care of in this case automatically. James annamilano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
