Priyantha Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 BACKGROUND I had few issues with Affinity Publisher and .afpub files get larger (exceeding 650MB) when I prepare 66 pages 8.5x11 size magazine. I realized the issue was use of Affinity Photo in connection with Affinity Publisher. This is how I experimented. I saved my first 650MB afpub file and the I started same on a new format from scratch. There were few images I had to edit on Affinity Photo while I am doing layout on Affinity Publisher. So I was juggling between Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher. Soon after the edit, afpub file size skyrocketed, like in 150MB.. for just one page. I stopped there and edited all the photos separately in PSCC and then kept creating my 66 pages document. I ended up my afpub document completed with 17.8MB with 66 pages to fit in 8.5x11. So I know now I should not edit on Affinity Photo when I m working on Publisher. So the problem is solved. QUESTION I started exporting 17.8MB document as a pdf with PDF(print) setting, then I had my pdf 280MB size. I have done this in the past and I ended up my document having around 100MB. I am not sure why my PDF file size getting so high while exporting 17.8 MB file as a pdf. Help needed. Thank you for the support from the team.
