Boris, I feel your frustration! It's very annoying.
You might consider converting your PDF file into PDF/X-3:2002 using Acrobat. (A time-limited trial version is available, as described in the thread linked below.) If you haven't seen this discussion for the possible work-arounds, see what is not working and what may: https://community.serif.com/forum/5957/blurb-the-pdf-you-selected-is-not-in-pdf-x-32002-format-or-pdf-1-3-compatible HTH, Igor Sat Aug 2 13:49:14 EDT 2014 Boris Liberman wrote: Well, I've tried their web interface that allows uploading PDF. The PDF freshly prepared from LightRoom had this interesting problem (as per the web site): "The PDF you selected is not PDF/X-3:2002 format or PDF 1.3 compatible". In fact, it occurs to me that this may be the reason I wasn't been able to upload anything from within LightRoom as well... I am starting to get extremely annoyed with this thing. For all I care, it is utterly broken.
