  1. I’ve been having numerous issues trying to use Publisher to create an update of a book I’ve successfully published using Page Plus over the last few years. There are a number of symptoms, all of them resulting in a crash. I’ve had to split the book into two parts, manually merging the TOCs and Indexs and merging the PDFs in Acrobat (which cost three times more than AP!). I now have time to try and isolate the issue and have what I hope is a reproducable example of just one of the problems when the book size approaches the half way point, and I’m hoping that someone from Serif can investigate why AP doesn’t have the same functionality of PP9. I've discussed this with other users here - I’ve attached two files. Both have been doctored so that they would be of no use to someone trying to use the content (so that I can put them in the public domain). In the process of the doctoring I may have introduced some formatting errors that don’t exist in the original files so please ignore any misplaced illustrations. The files both have embedded illustrations. This means anyone can load them without access to the linked illustrations, but I can demonstrate later that using linked files changes the symptoms but still results in crashes (in fact the onset of issues is often earlier!) I’ve been using the latest betas in the hope that the issue may get fixed, you you will need to be running 1.8.535, but this has been happening ever since AP was released. Part 1 up to chapter 12 for bug report.AFPUB is about 570Mb in size. It has 379 pages and about 350 illustrations. Some are image files, some are AD files. It also has a TOC and Index. You will also need Chapter 13 for bug report.AFPUB. It’s 28Mb, has 32 pages and 36 illustrations. It has index marks and the TOC picks up the Chapter and Section headings. The Part 1 file should load OK. Locate the last page before the index – page 370 – in Pages in the Studio and right click to select Add pages from File. Locate the Chapter 13 files and select Open. I just get a crash straight back to the desktop. There are other types of crashes. Often I see a constant CPU usage around 15% while trying to load a large file I’ve managed to create, particularly when using Linked resources. The file never loads. I’ve been through a lot of the part 1 file to optimise it, but there is room to do so more. However, what I’ve found is that it tends just to move the point at which AP becomes unstable a bit further along. If I delete a lot of the illustrations from Chapter 13, it will load. Then when I try to load the next chapter, it crashes. The book is over 600 pages, so we aren’t even 2/3rdsdone. …and just to reiterate, Page Plus 9 can handle the whole book, without using Bookplus. My computer has 32Gb of memory and 400Gb free on it’s main SSD. Graphics – 1070TI, CPU 4Ghz i7, so I don’t think I’m underpowered.
