Exporting document to Amazon direct publishing KDP

[MartinN]

I am trying to set up a document in trial version  the settings are 369.7 mm x 264.6 mm which in inches as required 14.55512"x10.41732"

Which KDP requires14.557 x 10.417 . This document when it gets into the KDP program as exported as PDF ends up 11.792" x 9.180" 

Does anyone have any idea why this is doing this  I can seem to set the default to inches either .

 

Thanks Martin

Hi @MartinN and welcome to the forums,

If you take a look at the ruler settings in your document you can see that the document itself isn't 14.557 x 10.417 inches but rather 10.925624 in x 7.81275 inches and hence when exporting as a pdf using Whole Document these are the exported dimensions.

You also have an Artistic Text element with a width of 232.183756 inches which should ideally be looked at, corrected or deleted if not required...

It looks as though something, somewhere has been scaled and is causing the discrepency between the size in the Document Setup and the actual document size.

I would create a new document at the size required, i.e., 14.557 x 10.417 inches and then copy paste the elements into you new document, scaling as appropriate and taking care of the items sitting way off the page at the same time and then export the file which should then give you what you need.
