MelsB Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Since upgrade to 1.9.3, a pdf export of a 75 page A4 takes almost 5 minutes; in the older version 20 seconds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeclanKonesky Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 At least yours exports. My 220 page book won't export no matter what preset I use. Can't figure out for the life of me what the issue is. Even reading the crash report won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelsB Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I can send the embedded afpub file, you mean? It is 1 Gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 4 hours ago, MelsB said: It is 1 Gb No wonder it takes that long on PDF export. An Affinity document that fat means you likely have tons of pixel layers or embedded images inside, possibly with adjustment layers and other bitmap effects. All that takes quite a while to flatten when exporting to PDF, depending on your export settings.

MelsB Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I meant to ask you if I need to send the file with all image files embedded. The file itself is only 20 Mb. There are no extra layers or bitmap effects. Export settings are 144 dpi for web. The file with embedded images takes the same time as the file with linked images. The same file in earlier versions of Affinity took about 20 seconds to export. The current one 5 minutes. Do I send? Embedded or linked (is that any use to you?)?

Staff Pauls Posted May 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 17, 2021 Either is fine - but linked with all the associated images will be better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
