Publisher crashes when an embedded pfd is being edited

[Ingmar Meissner]

Publisher crashes when an embedded pdf is being edited. A double click opens the pdf in a tab window, as expected. When beginning to edit en element in pdf publisher crashes without warning etc.

This was no problem in earlier versions.

Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.1 Affinity Publisher 1.9.1

I hope this is helpful?

I can’t test this as I’ve already rolled back to 1.8.6, but from a workflow perspective, I would class a PDF as a deliverable format. Even if you could edit your embedded PDF in previous versions, doesn’t mean you should. Keep your data native and live, otherwise issues can arise, even in the most stable versions of Adobe. If I was having to edit a PDF in an Adobe workflow, it would be an Illustrator file (previously generated from the PDF) embedded. With Affinity, that would mean opening the PDF in to Designer, and keeping it as a native Designer file, until export and a new final deliverable is created.

I had this issue with a linked .aphoto file, while in separated mode.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed reply. 

I can't repicate this here, so must be something else going on. Is it document specific? Can you replicate it with an new doc?
