How to create a print-ready PDF for Amazon publishing using Preview on a Mac Computer — answer from Chat GPT

I ended up playing with the Chat GPT. The results are below (proper attribution as well).

“To create a print-ready PDF for Amazon publishing using Preview on a Mac:

1. Open your document in Preview.
2. Go to the “File” menu and select “Export.”
3. In the “Format” dropdown menu, select “PDF.”
4. In the “Quartz Filter” dropdown menu, select “PDF/X-3:2002.” This will ensure that the PDF meets the technical requirements for printing.
5. Click “Save.”
6. In the “Export PDF” dialog, click the “Color” tab.
7. Under “Color Management,” select “Off (No Color Management).”
8. Click “Save.”

Your PDF is now ready for printing and can be uploaded to Amazon for publishing.

Note: If you are using a different version of Preview or a different program to create your PDF, the steps may be slightly different. Amazon provides detailed guidelines for creating print-ready PDFs on their website, which you can find here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200634230

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.”
