I didn't check resource manager. Since it is a main file with different affinity Publisher files pages (including images) added, I did waited for sometime in case it takes a while to load but it is still blur. I think the added files themselves were also blur? I am guessing it is not a resource manager missing linked images problem or images would not even appear. Weird it was fine before with clear images exported.

It is blurry in the document itself. What can happen to cause it so?

Tested on both Beta and 2.6.0 (Windows 11) with the same issue. It was not blurred or pixelated before. Maybe about a month ago, the export images quality was fine. (However, one of the images (out of hundreds) for some odd reason decide to repeat once and overflow to the next page image in the export, but the manuscript AP file was correct when I checked it. This is a separate issue perhaps for another time.) There was some work put into assembling and placing the hundreds of images, I rather not repeat the process again. How to fix the blur? Thanks for any effective solution ideas 🙂

Good day all, I am wondering if I am allowed to write and publish a book on using Affinity product/s, say for a specific purpose? I am asking because I am concerned about using Affinity trademark name on KDP. Do I have to ask Affinity for explicit permission to publish such a book? Thank you.

Checked again. No file in that folder. Can it be anything else other than crashing if Publisher just quit (after some seconds) upon export...

Downloaded and tested 2.6.2 Beta. Same problem - cannot even get to the export screen, so no, not the Tagged PDF issue either. Interestingly, first time installed it was able to export this first big file then but with blurry images - maybe some files were not linked properly. Then I kind of redo to have a second big file that should have images linked, but alas same export problem. I also tested to increase Settings -> Performance RAM and disabled Hardware acceleration but nope (System 16GB Ram). For file splitting into 2 parts, it was successful as long the number of pages is within the limit of perhaps around 406 pages, does not seem to matter what pages is omitted. So I am guessing it is not a single page issue. Basically, back to square one with the export Crash/Quit problem. Not sure what else is left to test to solve this limitation.... 🙂

As for Tagged PDF export option, Menu -> export will hang for a while before quitting AP without even the Export window showing up. Hmmm... Enrolled in the beta program but the latest version listed on the download page is 2.6.0. Maybe there's another page for it? 🙂

For the benefit of anyone reading: Okay. I managed to export to PDF finally. I reduced the number of pages from more than 500 to around 350 380 406. So I am guessing that is how many pages Affinity Publisher can manage to start export for now (with the preflight errors or whatnots).

Oh, it's 2.6, my mistake. Upgraded only about last week or so. English. Never played/set spell checking settings before. Hard Acceleration enabled by default, turned off, restarted. Still crash quitted. Guess have to do some more testing to see what triggered that. Thanks anyway.

Admittedly, it is a big file with over 500 pages with anchors and hyperlinks. After Menu -> Export, nothing seems to happen for about 10 seconds or so. Then Affinity Publisher 2.0 (Windows 11) just quit or crash. Not even the export screen will appear. The file has many anchors/hyperlinks at first few pages. The main file has pages added from other smaller Affinity Publisher files. I don't think exporting these other smaller files and merging them together will work because of these links, am I right? CrashReport folder is empty. Task manager memory usage hovers around 70% at that time of Menu Export. Then again, what can be a way around to solve this? Thank you 🙂

I get it that the that anchors in the Anchor panel window cannot be manually clicked to arrange its order or even not in order, but to be fair, after exported (include bookmarks checked), the bookmarks are displayed perfectly from top to bottom sorted by ascending page numbers (tested in Acrobat Reader). For me, it is not a big issue as long as the final export is fine. Hope that helps.

I haven't got to follow up testing yet but yes I agree data merge should be the answer. Thank you both for pointing that out 🙂

Good day everyone, I've been thinking of how to to merge or overlay 2 affinity publisher documents together, like so in attached image. Master pages and Add Pages from file do not seem to serve this purpose. Even if exported to jpg/png images, somehow merge/overlay 2 images into one, and repeat that multiple pages e.g. page 1 merge/overlay page 1, page 2 merge/overlay page 2, etc. Has anyone any idea how to accomplish this? Thank you. Best regards

For anyone who may be facing the same issue. I just had the same or similar problem. The pages looked fine in AP, after exported, images in the PDF looked to have a light pinkish/orange colors as background. It looked fine if exported as JPG. I solved it by shutting down the PC for some time. (Maybe a restart will do) After that, I found that even all the previously exported PDF pages looked fine. I suspect it is not an AP problem but rather the system PDF driver.

Does anyone know if or how affinity publisher can perform simple math like addition on page numbers? Thanks.
