Print-Ready Children’s Book PDF for KDP
Use this checklist to move from illustrated pages to a cleaner print handoff.
Pre-export checklist
- Final page count locked.
- Trim size and bleed settings confirmed.
- Text legible at print scale.
- Image quality reviewed for print output.
Visual consistency checks
Flip through all spreads and verify character scale, line style, and lighting progression. Small consistency issues often become obvious in print preview.

FAQ
Does this page cover writing the story too?
Only briefly. This page is mainly about packaging and checking your final PDF for print readiness.
Should I still order a physical proof?
Yes. A physical proof helps catch issues that may not be obvious in digital preview.
