Affinity Publisher 2 Slow with Large Documents

[Efvee]

Affinity Publisher 2 is so slow with large documents that it often crashes and I am forced to force quit the program.

Whenever I need to use Data Merge for more than 500 records I have to resort to Affinity Publisher 1 which is very fast.

In the latest case I was running a Find and Replace command after Data Merging to produce a 1300 page document: Affinity Publisher 2 crashed—Affinity Publisher 1 finished the replacement in just a few seconds.

I have similar stories for exporting PDFs and unlinking images etc.

Affinity Publisher 1 was a treat to use with large documents and really impressive!

Hi @Efvee,

Can you upload your .afpub file, the one you do the merge from for the 1300 page document to our Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/Oq8yMp3q6e6OHSi0Sjm7 can you also let me know which Find and Replace terms you used and which operating system you are running Affinity on?  That way I can try to replicate the issue here.

If that's a separate issue, please create a separate thread and it can be investigated
