1732 Book function - status report

[UweN]

Hello,
Book function: approx. 40 chapters, each chapter documents one group meeting per year and consists of 1-20 pages. Most of the years are scanned TIF A4 pages or imported PDF. 4 years are chapters created with AfPublisher. Together the chapters should result in a book with currently 438 pages. The book is to be exported page by page as PDF CMYK for printing. I have not yet managed to create the PDF (approx. 3.6GB if I export the individual chapters as PDF and put them together with a PDF editor). All chapters are up to date. In the other cases, the Publisher hangs in the preparation of the preview - what is that good for? It is then not possible to select the "Output as pages" option. In the end, I have to close the Publisher with the Task Manager.
Technical data: W11Pro current updates, Intel i7-13700, 64GB, 1TB Samsung M2. All files are on the internal SSD, Geforce GTX 1050Ti
I have tried it with the official 2.0.4 version and also with Beta 1732. Unfortunately no success.
Many greetings, Uwe

Maybe, it doesn't help in this case because build 1732 is 2.1 beta
