PDF Exports

I haven't had this issue with past versions, but after the 2.2 update my programs take forever to export a PDF, and it looks like the "print ready" file size is HUGE, way bigger than it needs to be for a standard letter sized document.  Are there any ways to fix that?

So far I've encountered this on Affinity Photo 2 and Affinity Designer 2, both on Mac.

Hi @Teddy90704and Welcome to the Forums,

Really need a copy of your afpub or afphoto file.  Could you upload it to our Dropbox here and i can get this looked into.  Might be best to upload an afpackage file as that mean i get all the images then.  To do that, first create an empty folder on your Desktop and then open your file in Publisher and click File>Save As Package and point this to the empty folder on your Desktop.  Once thats done, zip up the folder and then upload the zip file to the Dropbox link above.

Hi,
I've the same problem. You wait for ever and nothing happens. I've installed back Designer Version 1.x and copy project between to export from older one.

At least you can export pdfs. I have an open issue that is ignored and has been confirmed to be a problem. I can’t get a response past the please upload your file. Once I did that it has been completely ignored for weeks. 
 

I doubt support will help past this post.

Can you confirm what colour profile your document is using?  If Euroscale Coated V2, can you try selecting another profile and see if you can then export to PDF?

As mentioned on email, the file has been logged with the Developers.  There has been an issue found caused by the 2.2 update which can affect PDF export but that is only for documents using the Euroscale Coated V2 Colour Profile but this issue didn't happen in 2.1, which is the version your issues started in.  I'll give the report a nudge and see if I can get a comment from a Developer.
