Good morning: I apologize if this topic has already been addressed but I don't know what to call what I'm trying to do. Basically what I want to do is to put part of an image behind one layer but in front of a different layer. Specifically I have an image of an ivy vine and I've created a "bookshelf" with books. I want to put the top part of the ivy vine behind one of the books on the shelf and the bottom part of the vine hanging over the bookshelf. Is this possible and how do I do that? Hope this makes sense. Thank you in advance for your help

At this point, I'm going to give upon publisher. I also have a PC with well over and above the requirements to run publisher and I still run into crashing issues. I cannot afford a CAL TECH sized super computer to avoid crash issues, (maybe after I win the lottery). And now, when I am able to export a small size pdf, the links get changed for some reason. I checked, checked, and rechecked each and every link before I exported (after striping out all the graphics first), and still the links are changed when I open it in the program I'm using the exported document with. I'm going back to Keynote.

Hi Dan 😄 Whew, took me a while to get that to work properly. But I was finally able to and get the log you requested. Hope this helps I will now upload the file to the dropbox you provided. Regina PDFLib.log

Hi and thank you V_KYR. Unfortunately I don't "tech speak" so I am hoping your comment/assistance means something to the techs at Affinity if they are reading this. Hi Dan C thank you also for your assistance. No apologies necessary for your questions. However, I am surprised the crash reports don't show this information. Please excuse my ignorance, I don't have a tech brain so those crash reports are just a jumble of letters and numbers to me. In answer to your questions: 1. What format are you exporting to? I was attempting to export to PDF High Quality. 2. Does the app crash no matter what format you export? I didn't try any others. However, I was successful when dropping it down from PDF High Quality to the next level down - I think it is "good" can't remember the exact quality rating right now. 3. What location are you exporting the file to currently? For the first couple of crashes, I was attempting to export to my iCloud account. Then I tried to export directly to my desktop thinking it was a problem with the iCloud. But I didn't have any success with the desktop either until I dropped it down from High Quality PDF. The reason I was trying High Quality PDF is that this is a Digital Planner I hope to sell on Etsy and the better the quality the better the product. 4. Does this happen for any Affinity Publisher document, or only one specific file? I haven't tried any other files. Just a quick note, in preferences, I ticked the box for linking images as opposed to embedding after I experienced the crashing problems thinking that was the cause. If you would like, I can email you the file I'm having the problem with so maybe you can determine the problem. I am guessing since you are a "moderator" you have my email address. Let me know. This is the size of the file...12,330,719 bytes (13.1 MB on disk). If this is too big to attach to an email, I can either set up a google doc folder and share it with you or send a dropbox link...your choice. Thank you in advance for your help. Regina

I am having the same problem with crashes during Export. I get through the dialog boxes just fine but just about halfway through the Export, AP shuts down "unexpectedly." I've sent these crash reports to Apple. I am not sure how many reports I can attach to this conversation, but I'll try to add them all so you have as complete a picture as possible.

Publisher will not open any files - even ones it opened before. My files are stored on a 5T WD external HD. My AP is 1.8.3.641 for Windows 10. Should I uninstall and reinstall AP?
