Cannot open Publisher Document

Hi @Miltonc,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

Are you able to provide a copy of this .afpub file here for me? If you'd like a private link for the file that is not opening, please let me know.

When you mention, 'refuse to open', are you seeing an error message on screen? If so, what does this read please?

Many thanks in advance :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

No error message. just saying file loading and nothing happens, but opens in Designer

Is that Loading 1 document in the Designer screenshot from a third file or the one in the tab on the left or is for the one we see with the images that haven't finished loading?

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks for confirming that @Miltonc and my apologies for the delayed response.

It's possible that Publisher has incorrectly cached a file, causing your document to fail to fully open. I'd like to try resetting your app back to default settings to remove this cached file.

You can reset your app back to its default settings by holding down the CTRL key while launching the app. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear. The app will now open.

Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity Backing up app resources and factory reset video here - 

Once completed, does the document now open in Publisher? :)

The issue "Saving Failed increasing frequency of reports" (REF: AFP-4826) has been fixed by the developers in build "2.2.1 Release".

This fix is in the current customer release.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us
