Dear All,
I have successfully generated a paperback book using FrameMaker. I saved the book as a PDF and both the cover art and the internal material (i.e., the book text) loaded fine. I then added thirty pages to this, some of which was rather intensive, graphically, which contained anchored frames of Adobe Illustrator. It seems that this slightly larger PDF can no longer be read with KDP. The response I received from Amazon KDP is below. My question is whether I should be able to simply select "Press Quality" from the Adobe PDF menu and would that not generate the flattened version they seem to want. I have tried this, but KDP is a somewhat flaky thing and I'm not sure if I should just keep trying repeatedly. Thanks for any insights! Phil
(Side Notes: I have tried using FrameMaker to print to postscript and then converting that postscript file to pdf using Adobe Acrobat. I have also used the print production tool in adobe acrobat Pro to convert all color spaces to CMYK (both CMYK and something called ICCCMYK) and none of these attempts succeeds either.)

Our technical team has thoroughly analyzed both the cover and interior files and have provided their findings as below:
a) Interior file:
Within the interior file you are using a color space called CalRGB. This color profile works well for color adjustments in Photoshop, but the file must be converted back to RGB or CMYK, to allow saving as an image, which is used for the thumbnail and review, or for the file to physically printed.
Hence you should convert all color spaces used inside the file to CMYK color and create a new PDF by choosing the option 'Print to PDF' as opposed to regular saving or exporting to PDF.
