Stannp postcard automation issue with image uploads

Hi. First day using both Zapier and Stannp! I have connected them and I want to set up a postcard automation. In the “configure” step, the system accepts the image for the back of my postcard, but not for the front. 

I have tried sharing a link from my google drive as a pdf, as a jpeg and as a png, but none work.

I have pasted the link into a browser and it opens fine.

The error is - "There was a problem rendering the print file: 'Creating PDF file failed on stage layup Background on pg1. The document has no pages.'

I’d check the link before converting the artwork again. A Google Drive link can work in your browser while showing a preview page or requiring sign-in, so that doesn’t tell you what Stannp receives. The “document has no pages” error alone doesn’t prove the artwork is empty.

If you open the front-image link in a private/incognito window while signed out of Google, do you see a Drive preview, a sign-in prompt, or does the file open/download directly? No need to post the link here.

Also compare the link type with the back-image input that was accepted. If they’re different, that’s a useful clue before you change the artwork further.
