Today I'm going to share with you how to fix the ICC Color Profile error from IngramSpark! The error says,
PDF CONTAINS ICC COLOR PROFILES: We request files with no color profiles assigned. Please convert all colors to grayscale for black and white images, or CMYK for color images and remove all color profiles. Saving a new PDF with the default setting of PDF/X-1a:2001 will address the issue. For best results, please correct the issue(s) listed. You may refer to the File Creation Guide for further instructions on creating a compliant PDF.
Choosing to proceed may result in a color shift from the file submitted.

I don't see pdfx when I try

[@HeatherCashArt]

If you don't see PDF/X, you should be able to do it this other way:
File -> Save as Other -> Press-Ready PDF (PDF/X)

Heather, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you! I have been in the process of creating my very first children's book using both Canva and a professional illustrator, and I have had so many hiccups along the way. Every time I ran into an issue, you had a video to fix it. I finally submitted it to Ingram and I couldn't have done it without you!
