Publisher 1.8 does not open a 1.7 document


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to open a document prepared in Affinity Publisher 1.7 with Publisher 1.8. The app seems to start correctly but after a few seconds it just shuts down. Publisher 1.8 does start correctly if starting a document from scratch. Could someone please advise me what I might be doing wrong, or must I resign myself to a) reinstalling 1.7 or b) losing the document?

Many thanks

Andrew Turner

It may be the document was saved with an issue(s) that Publisher 1.8 can't open. If you can, upload the file here so it can be looked at, if the file is private, send me a download link in a PM.

Not that it is of much help for @aaturner but the afpub file opens OK on my Mac running APu 1.8.1, other than that I get a 'missing resources' notice for the 5 linked files, according to the Resource Manager located on that user's C drive.
