The uploaded PDF can be validated to check if its size, color space, resolution, etc., match the rules you configure.Īttributes of this workflow are divided into two parts:

I guess the "PDF Portfolio" doesn't act like a true combined file.The PDF Upload with Preflight workflow allows for placing print orders for the PDF print files prepared by the users in their favorite graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDraw, etc. I uploaded that to Amazon just now but it rejected it saying it was only 1-page. I've just applied this setting (PDF Portfolio) which removed the warnings and combined them. To retain this compliance, got to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option. I'm just having trouble running it.Īlso note: when I create the combine files project in Acrobat using the individual PDFs, each page has an "!" warning: One or more of your files are PDF/X compliant. I think the sure thing to assure it'll be Amazon Kindle friendly would be to run the PreFlight. so I started a new "Combine" file and since then, all of the options to "Preflight" are greyed out and not clickable once I'm in the preflight pop-up window. I found the "Preflight" and the first attempt at combining the files, I could run the preflight and it offered fixes (including transparencies) but I didn't want it to over-write the existing PDF files if the "fixes" weren't what I wanted. I'm new to Acrobat aside from random "combining files" I've done in the past. After combining them and saving as a PDF (default settings), Kindle rejects the PDF stating that they contain "Transparencies". Then I had to bring them into Acrobat to create one combined PDF file. "Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers" - UNCHECKED (which is what I understand "Flattens" the artwork?)īy that process alone, I would assume they would be Amazon KDP compatible. "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" - UNCHECKED I saved each file with the following PDF settings:.I deleted all hidden layers, objects and text.Since the source of all of the individual artwork / pages is Illustrator, I saved each page as PDF's per Amazon Kindle's instructions.
#ADOBE PREFLIGHT ERRORS PRO#
I'm using Acrobat Pro DC and files from Adobe Illustrator 2020. Is there general guidlines or tips on saving a combined file PDF from Illustrator PDF files? When I try again, even starting a new combined files project, all of my preflight buttons are greyed out and won't let me scan or save.

The first time, it worked without a problem and noted numerous transparencies but I only chose for it to review the problems, not fix them. I'm completely green in Acrobat, so I have no idea what I'm doing but I've since created a new combined file of all the pages and tried to run a "Preflight" for printing prep. However, when I upload that one PDF, Kindle's preflight gives errors of "transparencies".

I had no trouble combining all of the pages to one master PDF and saving the combined files as a new PDF. This is per their suggested technical notes. I've saved each individual page (file) as a PDF/X-1a (2003) with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" and "Create Acrobat Layers from Top-Level Layers" UNCHECKED. Per Kindle's guidelines, all PDF's (from Illustrator) must be flattened with no transparencies. It's the only way the files are accepted for publishing with Kindle's (print-on-demand) sevices. I have 140 individual Illustrator files that I have saved as PDF's to combine into one PDF book.
