KDP error guide

Check odd, even, Roman and Arabic page numbers

Review odd/even placement and visible numbering without treating every intentional omission as an error.

Technically reviewed · September 1, 2026

What this issue means

Front matter, Roman numerals and unnumbered chapter openers require context. The checker reports suspicious sequences and page-side evidence rather than renumbering the book automatically.

What BookPreflight checks

  • Odd/even folio side
  • Roman and Arabic numbering transitions
  • Missing, duplicate or inconsistent visible numbers

How to correct the source file

  1. 1

    Check master-page assignment at section boundaries.

  3. 3

    Review intentional blank and chapter-opening pages manually.

Verify the exported PDF, not the preset name

Keep the editable source and original PDF. Export a new file, run the complete scan again and review every remaining finding. A repair is only labelled safe after loss checks and a full deterministic post-flight.
