linked EPS disappearing in AFPUB2

[cwoodhou]

I'm running Monterey OSX with plenty of resources. I'm writing a book and I have been using all three V1 apps since they came out and have had no serious issues. Upgrading to 2.0, I am taking in version 1 afpub files which have links to eps, created by adesign1. Some, not all of these EPS files disappear in short order. They are still listed in resource manager, but they appear blank, with a negative dpi. There is nothing to select on the page and the wordwrap disappears. If I delete the layer with the eps and re-import, it repeats the same after a few edits. It does not do it on all eps files, only a few.  It also did it to an EPS generated from V2.0 afdesign too.  Sample Afdesign 2.0 eps enclosed.

There are several topics discussing EPS (but also some other formats) "disappearing" in Publisher files because something is becoming corrupted and their sizes show up as 0px x 0px (or 0mm x 0mm) and thus Publisher thinks there's nothing to display.

I've only seen one so far that has an actual bug tag associated with it, but I think they're probably all the same underlying problem:

thanks - yes - that's it - for a while all is just fine and then, as you say, it goes to 0x0 pixels. I'm glad it is on the radar. The EPS files themselves are not being corrupted, so it is not too difficult to recover once they have the fix.

Good to see it is noticed. Same probleem here with native placed .ai logo's.

On the miniature of the page you can still see the logo but not on the page itself...

new release today - which immediately crashed with affected files - I found the solution was to remove the linked files from the directory, open the afpub file, go into resource manager, locate in document (invisible) and delete. Once all references were deleted, I moved eps files back and re-placed. Seems to work after that.

 

Hope that helps
