Thank you - will ask Liam if he can do a screen recording. Thank you for looking at this! Jane

dammit, I didn't mean to upload the pdf.. now uploading the publisher file. I didn't get the linked files with this - but when I exported this file, the alt text was visible. But when he exported it, they weren't. Thanks for the tips on putting alt-text on imported pdf's tho - that kind of makes sense. Still left with why Liam couldn't export the attached with the alt text showing. best, Jane Stammering at work UNIONS - Issue 7 Liams file.afpub

Hi @Hangman Thank you for looking at this. I attach the original file which, when he exported into pdf the Alt Text didn't show. However, when I exported the same document it showed fine. However, I have Acrobat Pro, so we're not sure if this is a requirement. There was a similar document, almost identical which I we also needed to export into a tagged pdf. However, I only had a pdf (without the alt text) to work with - so I had to import that to export it again with the alt text (if that makes sense). Which is where the page I attached above came from. So, it wasn't created in Publisher. Do you think there was an error in the way the photo was pulled across? I've never been able to make the linked resources work, I've always embedded images - is that where the problem lies? Best jane Stammering at work UNIONS - Issue 7 - liams document.pdf

Hi I hope this is the right place... I've two questions 🙂 - I've a colleague who has created a document in Affinity 2 - but when he exports it the alt text is lost. When I open his file, I can see the information in the tags panel is fine - all the text is there. He is ticking the tagged pdf box. Does he need a pro version of Adobe for this to work? - 2nd item. On one of the pages, we've a pic which is tagged, but when I export that page the alt text doesn't show. Every other pic is the document is fine and the alt text shows perfectly. Where am I going wrong with this particular item? Thanking you in advance! jane single page export tag not showing.afpub

it will export to this site.. i have painfully removed and then put back every picture, exporting the page each time to test - and it now exports. But it is random. It baulked at first pic, then when i went back to it later and put back in, it was fine. But this has taken over an hour

OK, the problem has come up in my next document. It seems to be a problem with the pictures. I thought previously it was something to do with pictures and tags - but this document is print only. I don't understand - these are just jpgs, placed and resized in frames. this is the error message... At this rate it would be easier to do in Word...

Finally found the problem - it was a picture linked to a url. Not sure why that wouldn't work, but now I can export. And breathe. Thank you for all your support and for testing out the file for me

... I wonder if my software is corrupted. In the preview panel it's just showing white pages - which is odd - and I just created a new file, exported that (with the option of open a new pdf), and it did the export but didn't open the pdf. But it did export.

So... I created a new file, and I've been cutting and pasting text into this new document. I've just done 5 pages - and it won't export into a pdf, error message. It will export as a jpg.

Still struggling - I tried testing out saving and exporting in sections - it struggled over a couple of pages first time, and then all fine. But when I try and export the whole document, even at 72 dpi, it won't do it. How do I get a crash report?

@carl123 I'll give that a go, thank you!

@carl123 that's amazing. But I've been editing and changing the doc - so it's moved on a lot since yesterday. I deleted that image to see if that would solve it - and I'm still getting the error message. I need to find a way of fixing the error... Can you tell me how you identified the error?

These are my export settings when it fails. If I just switch to 72 dpi it exports

Thank you Joe. I'm still updating it, now have till Weds, so it's still rough. But I need to send it as a pdf. I'm still getting the error message though

thanks. That didn't work tho. Jane
