When trying to upload my book manuscript and book cover to IngramSpark, I get the following message "ISBN: 9781764725507 Title: ???????? ???????? ?????? ??? ????? ?????????? Contributor 1: Sidrak, Yousry L Reason: COVER: PDF DOCUMENT SIZE IS INCORRECT The template was used, however the PDF document size does not match the source template document size. The PDF document size is noted in the lower left corner of the template. The cover file is submitted at a size that is scaled smaller than its original size. This is could be due to incorrect presets when exporting the pdf. Using "Smallest File Size" makes it low-quality. Switching to High Quality Print or Press Quality could resolve this issue. Ensuring that the cover file is set at 300 ppi when exporting to pdf is recommended as well. COVER LAYOUT SUBMITTED IS NOT BUILT TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS We recommend using a cover template, the template contains all the correct guides and measurements for your specific cover. A template can be downloaded from the Resources section of the website. For guidance on file creation please refer to the IngramSpark File Creation Guide. If required, revised content can be uploaded to your account by searching for your title in the Titles tab, clicking on the title name, and then clicking the Upload New Files button. So, if I send you manuscript and book cover, will you be able to make them compatible and up-loadable to IngramSpark? Thanks

Hi, do you have the original source files for the cover (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, PDF, etc.), or only the exported PDF that was rejected by IngramSpark? I reviewed the error details carefully and understand that IngramSpark is rejecting the cover because the PDF dimensions no longer match the exact template size generated for your ISBN, trim size, paper type, and page count. This usually happens when the cover PDF is exported with incorrect scaling, low-quality export settings, wrong bleed dimensions, or when the template is resized unintentionally. I can help by: • Reviewing both the manuscript and cover files • Checking trim size, bleed, spine width, and PDF specifications • Rebuilding or correcting the cover using the official IngramSpark template • Ensuring the PDF exports at the correct dimensions and 300 DPI quality • Verifying the interior manuscript meets IngramSpark requirements • Providing print-ready files that pass IngramSpark's preflight checks If you send the manuscript, cover PDF, and any source files you have, I can determine exactly what is causing the rejection and prepare files that are compatible for upload. Best regards, Hafiz Anas

Hello, I have read your project requirements carefully and understand that you are facing a file rejection issue on IngramSpark where your cover PDF is not matching the required template dimensions, resulting in errors related to incorrect document size, scaling, and non-compliant cover layout specifications. I will correct your book cover and ensure it fully complies with IngramSpark’s strict print requirements by rebuilding the file according to the official cover template dimensions, including accurate spine width, trim size, bleed, and safe zones. I will also re-export the final PDF using high-quality press settings at 300 DPI, ensuring there is no scaling, compression, or size mismatch that could trigger upload errors.

PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Could you confirm whether you are using the exact IngramSpark-generated template for your current cover, and which software the cover was originally designed in?

Hi there, I can quickly fix your IngramSpark upload errors. The issues are caused by incorrect PDF export presets scaling down your cover, along with a layout mismatch. My approach to resolve this: Template Alignment: Download the exact IngramSpark template using your ISBN and page count to rebuild the layout. Perfect Specifications: Ensure the document dimensions match the lower-left template corner perfectly. Print-Ready Export: Export your cover to Press Quality or High Quality Print at 300 PPI to prevent scaling and quality loss.

Hello Sidrak, I can see the real issue here isn’t just a failed upload , it’s a print file that’s drifting away from IngramSpark’s exact cover specs, which can quietly trigger size and layout rejections even when the design looks fine. I’ve worked with print-ready book files, and I can review your manuscript and cover, correct the IngramSpark dimensions, bleed, spine, and export settings, then make sure the PDF is uploadable without quality loss. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can also check the cover template alignment, page size, and any export preset issues so the final files match the source template properly. If needed, I’ll help you prepare the corrected manuscript and cover files for a clean re-upload. Could you confirm the trim size, page count, and whether the cover was built from the exact IngramSpark template? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Thanks, Asad
