publisher 2 doesn't export multi page documents

[ajen010]

I tried to export a 2 page document to pdf. When I choose pdf I can only export the first page, when I choose svg I can only export

the second page. This is all while Area: All Pages is selected.

Mac version 13.4.1

Hi @ajen010,

If you export with 'All pages' selected to PDF this should create a 2 page PDF document, the left is purely an export preview of the first page.

Selecting 'All pages' and exporting to SVG will create you two separate SVG files (One per page) once the export has completed in your specified location, the preview just shows you the last page in this scenario.

If this isn't working in the final document, could you perhaps provide us with a copy of the file?

Many thanks!

I think it has been requested before but shouldn't it be wise to have all pages in the preview and a scroll bar?
I know it has to do with rendering and that it may take time to show but when using multiple pages it already takes that amount of time to preview.
If people don't want to wait for that preview to be rendered they can go ahead and export anyway or click that already requested "no preview" button.😉

A multi-page preview would likely need to wait until it's possible to toggle the export preview on/off (which is logged internally) as dependant on the devices's specs it can take some time to generate like you've mentioned. But I'm not aware of it being formally requested before, so feel free to drop it over in feature requests. 🙂
