cgartists Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have rasterized all graphic files but I can't export it as All Pages. I used to be able and then I exported as Spreads but now I really need it as Pages. Export settings for web @ 300DPI without bleed and All Pages I tried from my second computer and from hard drive to same hard drive instead of from NAS and no change. After ~15-20% progress I get: An error occurred while exporting to: Please help - I need it quite urgently and don't have ideas how to do a workaround. Ideas?

thomaso Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I got the crash, too. I noticed the empty master and its layer position within your custom layers. After selecting all page icons and choosing "Clear Masters" I could export as single pages successfully.

cgartists Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks @thomaso ! Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce your success - I cleared masters (thanks - I did not know about this one!) but I still got the same error. One solution I came up with was exporting for offset print (PDF/X-4, Colour space and profile As document, Embed profiles, Do not convert image colour spaces, Honour spot colours, Overprint blacks, No Hyperlinks or layers, Include bleed) which worked but without links. Generally from good few tests I did it seems that changing settings to PDF 1.4 or higher, in order to enable Include hyperlinks, makes the export break. So in this document I can't export as All Pages and include hyperlinks... which is crazy as it works when I export All Spreads.

cgartists Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have an update: When exporting as All Pages it seems that objects (in this case rectangle) to which I added hyperlink causes export error. It doesn't when exporting as Spreads... Quote www.cgartists.eu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Strange, with another trial I wasn't able to export again. Yes, the hyperlinks seem to prevent the export, but obviously not all of them. For instance I can export as single pages 1-6 + 8 + 10 + 12 as PDF 1.7 with working hyperlinks. Katalog-konferencje-2020_1-6, 8, 10, 12.pdf But as soon I try with the odd pages 7 or 9, 11 the export quits with the typical unspecific error message which occasionally occurs with font issues – though here a font issue is quite unlikely because spreads do get exported successfully AND I have none of your fonts installed but used the default replacement Lucida. I also tried with beta v.523 with no better result. Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take a look into the OP's .afpub. The links are on pg 2-5, it is no problem to export just these pages, totally without pgs with the targets. If your thought would be correct than it would work best if *all* pages get exported. Instead I experienced it, as I mentioned, different and needed to exclude some pages (e.g. odd) from export to make it work. walt.farrell 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgartists Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I also tested it on beta with same result. The problem was 99% that when exporting as All Pages if hyperlink was done on a Rectangle instead of text it causes errors.

Staff Gabe Posted January 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi all, I logged this with our developers. As a workaround, if you delete all "link_spis_lewy" and "link_spis_prawy" rectangles at the top of the layer stack on each spread it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted February 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi both, What are your export settings? Mine exports to PDF fine, from both 1.7 and 1.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I tried from both 1.7 and 1.8 with preset "for print" (PDF 1.7) and got the error with default "Rasterise: Unsupported properties". I don't get the error when exporting page 3 only (where the illustration layers are rasterised already).

Staff Gabe Posted February 24, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks. This seems to be caused by a curve layer. Take Page 5 for example It's the 6th layer in the layer stack Not entirely sure what's up with it, but changing the opacity to 100 (and then back to 0) fixed the issue for this page. Anyways, I logged this with our developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, wouldn't your 'Back to 0' make it not appear on export? – The issue seems to be related to 2 obviously conflicting parameters for this curve's both stroke & fill: 0% opacity in color panel <–> 100% opacity on page. – I guess such an occurrence should not be possible at all, right?
