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'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.
