KDP UPLOAD FAILS while every condition seems met

[ilm1429]

Hi all,

So I try to upload a comic book.
I'm sure I have everything done right: document size to margins, bleed, export options, etc.

But it says "Failed manuscript upload", and it fails in less than a minute, it it seems doesn't even upload it completely.

Are there some special requirements for a comic book/graphic novel ?

I tried to rasterize everything (is that flattened pdf btw?), and it also fails.

I don't have page numbers written directly on each pages, could it be the issue? If yes, where do I put them? Is it ok in the margins?

Thank you for helping.
I seriously have no idea what to do.

Divide and conquer.

Start by exporting a single page, and upload that. Problem still? Now you only have to find out what this issue is by changing things on a single page. Works as a single page? Try exporting two or three. Repeat until you find out where the issue comes from.

Thank you BofG !

Best advice ever!
Makes a lot of sense.
I'll try that.

Have a nice day

Hi Ilm1429,

Can I just ask if you were eventually able to solve this issue ?

Thanks

Yes, it ended up being accepted with no known reason.
I guess it just was amazon's servers being down or so.
