Thank you for your advice. That did fix the issue, however, Windows Update almost immediately popped up a window saying "Your advice will restart to update outside of active hours" and I'm pretty sure it is going to re-install the update. I can pause updates but only for 7 days (Windows 10). I tried the wushowhide cab, but it did not find the update and only showed two hardware driver updates instead, so I seem to have no way to block it.

I'm having the same issue after MS forced an update to my machine as per it's usual habit. Now I can not work with my Affinity Publisher program as it crashes incessantly as soon as I start working. Is this something that Affinity can deal with, or do we have to wait for MS to figure out that they are causing problems with their update and fix it? Are there any steps I can take to mitigate this for the time being? I'm trying to finish a document and i can't get more than five steps before Affinity Publisher crashes again. I tried rebooting, but to no avail. Thanks.

I am having an issue exporting to PDF a file that I was able to export to PDF a couple of weeks ago, and have opened it, changed some text, and now get the generic error message. I have enabled logging and see this: [Last exception 2418 in PDF_load_image]["ICC profile for image file 'C:\Users\kklm\AppData\Local\Temp\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\PdfIm_33.jpg' doesn't match image data"] What is puzzling is why it is looking there for an image. That image does not appear anywhere in my document. I can find the image in that folder, but it's an image of an entire page, which again, is strange in that I would imagine therefore that this is part of some background process that Affinity runs when compiling the page. But why would this have a problem with the ICC profile? Note: other than the background image that is used on every page, not just this one, there are no other images on that page. I note that the ICC Profile for the background image is: US. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. Other images have other profiles such as sRGB and sRGB IEC61966-2.1. What are the steps to take to fix an image if the icc profile doesn't match the image data? How do I fix the profile, or make the document accep this profile? Thanks!

Thank you stokerg for confirming my experience thus far. There is one option that I found that works partially well. If you go to Open File > and point to the PDF, on import it offers you some options which don't appear in the "Add Pages from File" Among those alternate options is one that allows you to flow the text. That helps. It's not perfect, as there's still a lot of manual adjusting that needs to be done, but it does help.

My situation is that I have PDFs that I need to edit and then save as new PDFs. So I open them with Affinity Publisher and when I do it opens them with the Text Frames there, but all of them are far too wide. So far all I have been able to figure out is to go through every text frame on every page and widen it. I'm wondering in this scenario how to handle that. I was hoping Master Pages would provide an easy solution, but so far I haven't found a way to do this. What I want is to open the PDF and have the text flow into text frames that are linked and properly attached to the text frames in the Master Page so that I can resize / modify them all at once. How I might go about this? Some of the PDFs have a LOT of pages (over 200) and so it makes having to go page by page to widen each text frame is really kind of a chore. Any thoughts? Thanks so much! PS - Love Publisher! Wonderful! Thank you!
