I have just downloaded the latest beta of Affinity Designer to see if that would change things and unfortunately still have the same problem. The symptoms are as follows. When I choose PDF Export on any file - even blank files - in both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo The bottom line of the screen is stuck on Estimated File Size: Calculating… (I have left this for hours and it doesn’t resolve) All other file types work perfectly. Changing PDF settings does not seem to make any difference Changing colour mode does not make any difference Then this immediately appears: An error occurred while exporting to: filepath The file could not be created Clearly it is not a problem with the files as: The files can be blank; and If I email them to my colleague’s Mac System they work fine. And you report no error. It must be with the way affinity and Windows handle PDF export. All adobe products are fine, same with Corel Draw. It’s only affinity products that are affected. Some other users seem to have reported the same or a similar problems in these forums, both on this thread and (for example) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/28912-cannot-export-pdf/?p=140251 We would love to use Affinity products in our office but pdf export is a critical feature as we often use complex Tamil and Sinhala fonts for many of our print documents. So will have to stay with our existing workflow if this is not resolved. I’m running Windows 7.1 and AD 1.5.2 and AP 1.5.1 I have set my region to and Language to English UK Please help - btw should I post this in the bugs forum? Ayoli

Hi Thanks for your really prompt reply. I've tried many different setting including changing colour modes through RGB/8 and /16 CMYK. I've tried exporting to drive C and D, desktop and different folders I've uninstalled Acrobat, NItro PDF and Corel draw to check for conflicts I've logged in as guest, me and administrator and tried to export from those accounts.\All display the same error Estimate files size: calculated and then cannot export pdf. Shall I delete and reinstall both Affinity designer and Affinity Photo?
