KDP PDF checking

Check every interior page

Measure every interior page instead of checking only the document preset.

What this issue means

Mixed page boxes, mirrored margins and placed objects can make only part of a book fail. Page-level inspection identifies those outliers while preserving the original PDF.

What BookPreflight checks

  • Consistent trim and orientation
  • Binding-aware inside and outside margins
  • Blank-page runs, fonts and effective image DPI

How to correct the source file

  1. 1

    Select left-to-right or right-to-left binding correctly.

  2. 2

    Upload the final interior PDF with the intended blank pages.

  3. 3

    Open each finding at its exact page before editing the source.

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.
