Preordered. Thankyou!
I have a possible issue I need to report:
I had a Designer document with 112 artboards that I needed to resize. in bulk. I thought, "that's a job for Publisher", so I opened the file in Publisher — it was a very recent (but previous) version of the beta. Publisher asked me if I wanted to convert artboards to pages and so I did. All went well.
My file was already very large, at between 6–8Gb. (I've got some large embeds but made sure to use Symbols wherever possible). After working with it in Publisher, the file size rose to 11.5Gb.
Then the beta version came along that included a manager for linked and embedded documents. I thought I could save some Gb by replacing embedded files with linked files. Despite this, the file size didn't change much. I saved perhaps under 1 Gb.
After linking most of my embeds, there were a few that kept asking to be re-found. Even today I always get two images that ask to be re-linked, even though they have not been moved or modified.
Over the course of the next few weeks of continuing to work on the document, now in Publisher, the file size ballooned to 16Gb. I assume that there is some redundant data in my file, erroneously added by the link/embed situation.
Questions:
1. Will there be a way for me to slim down my file in a future version of Publisher? I need to share it with another designer.
2. Now that it's a Publisher file Is there a way to open it in Designer/Photo and be able to work on all the pages? Currently it only shows the page I was last on and I have no idea how to navigate to the others.
3. How can I stop these two files from always asking to be relinked?
Many thanks!
