[Affinity Designer keeps crashing I don't know why]

Hi Venera and Welcome to the Forums,

Further to what firstdefence has asked.  If you get a crash when creating a new document, eg File>New chances are it's your graphics card drivers that either need updating or reinstalling.  Most crashes like this are graphics card related in our experience and we would always advise doing a clean install of the graphics card drivers and if it's still crashing after that, we can get a crash logs from you, which should help further.  

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue but my project stands open for more time (5 to 10 minutes).

I have tried different solutions offered in several threads in Affinity forums and none of them worked. Can you, or somebody else, explain to me what do you mean with "graphics card"? (What it is, where to find, clean/ install it?)

Thank you

 

P.s.: I attached a Text Editor file with the report from the crash...

to me that means that the PDF already contained hyperlinks as fts opened the file in Designer (= he/she did not want to add hyperlinks in Designer.)

But maybe that´s a misunderstanding on my side due to a certain language gap (?)...

kind regards

That's exactly what I meant.

 

As I say in my first thread, I exported the pdf file from iBooks Author. The pdf has a lot of hyperlinks. When I open it in Designer and export it, it loses them!

PDF hyperlinks do not survive coming into Affinity applications and so do not, cannot, get exported into a PDF.

I don't know if it applies to all Affinity applications, but at least for Designer your explanation makes sense to me.

 

 

Thank you all for your interest in my question. As I said, I found another solution to achieve what I wanted.

I hope this problem can be solved. If not for me, for others that may have their work simplified when working with Affinity applications!

 

Kind regards to you all

Thank you Walt.

I hope I understood your answer, and I'm sorry if I wasn't too clear with my question.

What I meant is that the pdf file already has hyperlinks when opened in Designer. And it's when I export it that it loses them - even though the pdf exporting window has an option to include them. I don't remember that option being there before, so it might be due to Publisher, as you say.

But I think that raises another question: if a file when opened in Designer has hyperlinks, how come it loses them when exporting, even with that option selected?

 

Thank you for your attention!

 

P.S.: I already found another way to achieve what I intended with the original pdf design and size.

 

 

[Affinity Designer is not exporting pdf with hyperlinks]

I've created an iBook that afterwards needed to be converted to a pdf file that contains a lot of hyperlinks.

Due to its final size (400mb) and the need to make some changes in its design, I used Affinity Designer (to make that changes and export it with different settings to make it smaller). Although the "include hyperlinks" option is selected in the pdf exportation window, when I open the exported pdf file there's no hyperlinks whatsoever.

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Or can it be because it's an original pdf file from iBooks Author?

Did it happen to someone else?

 

Thank you!
