Print interiors and EPUBs rebuilt from whatever is left: a printed copy, a flattened PDF, an InDesign file nobody can open, a Word document that will not convert. In English, French and Arabic.
The designer has moved on. The publisher closed. The agency kept the native files. The hard drive died. It happens constantly, and the usual advice is to retype the book, which is not advice.
Before anyone talks about money, you should know what is actually wrong with your file. Send it and you get a written report: twenty nine checks for an EPUB, eighteen for a print interior, every one of them run on your real pages, each finding in plain language, with the page numbers where it sits and the exact threshold it misses.
Not a validator dump. Validators produce lines like
RSC-005: attribute "page-progression-direction" not allowed here. The report
says instead that the book is in Arabic, that it is not declared as reading right to left,
that the pages will turn the wrong way, and that this is the usual reason KDP refuses an
Arabic ebook.
Send an EPUB or a print interior PDF. You get the report, usually within one working day. No charge, no obligation, no account to create, and no follow up unless you ask for one.

Your file is deleted once the report is sent. It is not stored, not reused, not shown to anyone and not used to train anything. If your manuscript is unpublished, that matters, and it should.
This is the part most studios decline, and it is worth saying why.
Amazon KDP does not print Arabic at all: on its own supported languages page, Arabic and Persian are marked ebook only, while Hebrew is available in paperback. So an Arabic print book has to be produced through another route, and that has to be decided before the layout is built, not after.
No mainstream authoring tool handles Arabic properly. Kindle Create does not list it. Atticus cannot load the fonts it would need. The result is text with detached letters, vowel marks colliding with the line above, and bracket pairs flipped the wrong way around a Latin word.
A book in French and Arabic together is harder again: two reading directions in one object, mirrored gutters, bidirectional punctuation, two numeral systems to hold consistent, and two alphabets to match optically. No consumer tool does this. It is done by hand, and it is done here.
If a quick look at your file shows there is nothing worth charging for, I will tell you that instead of quoting. The diagnostic exists partly so that conversation can happen honestly.
Tarik Chokri, in Casablanca, trading as Maktabi Suite SARL AU. I proofread and rebuild documents in French, Arabic and English: e-learning courses checked against their English source, a 208 page technical manual corrected against its original, book files rebuilt for authors who no longer had anything editable.
I write the diagnostic reports myself, by hand, on a toolchain I built for my own quality control before I offered it to anyone else. That is why it is free: it already exists, and running it on one more file costs me minutes.
