jonnsin Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 When I export a publisher file as a PDF it appears to copy OK but when I open the PDF only the first page appears. I must be doing something stupid as I have tried different files with same result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwiggy Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Check the page range in the Export dialog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 @jonnsin, Do you see this window when you use Publisher to open the PDF file? And have you tried using Preview to open the PDF? Note that I have the Load all pages option marked.

jonnsin Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 On PDF options only page 1 appears ( in both AP and preview) and therefore the load pages and load all pages are unavailable. It seem that of the 6 trial pages in my file only one is being copied as a PDF. Simplest six page file was created in the usual way thru the AP new doc procedure.

The simplest explanation then may be that when you Exported the PDF you only asked for 1 page to be included. If you open your original .afpub file (with 6 pages) and Export to PDF again, do you get the same 1-page PDF file as a result? If so, can you show us a screenshot of your Export dialog?

Old Bruce Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The only way I can get what you are describing is by having a 1 (one) in the Pages: area. Then regardless of what I choose in Area: I will get the first page and only the first page. Delete the 1 (one) and I can get all spreads/pages what ever I choose.

jonnsin Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Success! Grateful thanks for restoring my sanity. I certainly thought that page numbers were required here. Why have it when leaving blank is the answer. Tried other files and got usable PDF files from them too. Affinity should have you on the payroll.
