[Preflight crashes the application]

Hi,

So I can't reproduce a crash but the preflight panel does take a very long time to load and populate. This is mostly because it is reporting a lot of spelling errors, if you enable check spelling whilst typing you will see a lot of red lines. This is because the character language used for spellchecking on all your text is French, but it's all written in English.

I'll look into if we can make the panel a bit more responsive when it has this many warnings/errors to report, but if you change the character language used to English, it should reduce the amount of errors and hopefully allow the panel to open.

Thanks! It worked. I changed my settings to not check spelling (I used another software before layout for that) and change the main language (document is a translation).

It was somehow hard to correct things, as I couldn't access or configure the Preflight settings while in document. Manage to set it while being in another document.

No more freeze and now I've got useful informations on things to check. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi @Nicolas "Gulix" Ronvel,

Apologies, I missed your reply, unfortunately the files you uploaded expired.

There has been a tweak in this area, could you try the latest beta which is here and if it still causes an issue re upload here and I'll investigate

Thanks

Thank you. No worries.

I've tested with the beta but got the same freeze. The file has been uploaded. Tell me if you need more (Assets).

Still live. Still crashing ...

Done without the ressources (but if needed I will add them (around 50 Mo more))

[Preflight crashes the application]

I'm running the Affinity 1.8.5 version on Windows.

I've got a document of 272 pages (5 Mo, images all linked). It worked well in 1.8.4.

When I want to export the file, it shows that I've got errors. When I click to see them, the application crashes.
If I go to the Preflight Panel, I go to my Custom profile (made in 1.8.4), but the configuration window then crashes (crashing the application too).

 

[Export Layer to PDF : not one by page]

Thanks for the advice, I will try them out.

My goal is to get one layer for my entire document with all the illustrations, that the users can switch on/off. I already get one layer per page, which is fine. But what would be great is to get only one.

[Export Layer to PDF : not one by page]

I've got a PDF with multiple pages. I want to allow the user to get switch on/off on the background illustrations, in order to provide a printer-friendly PDF.

I've put my Illustrations in a Layer in each page, and right now it works : in my final PDF, I've got one layer by page on which I've got my illustrations.

But what could be great would be to have one Layer only for the document. All my layers are named the same (Illustrations) and it's not really user-friendly in the pdf to unchech all the layers.
