quarki69 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Dear all, I have set up an artboard in Designer, that I now want to export as a PDF, as it will be printed as a poster. Unfortunately the PDF export crashed the program every time and after a reboot, the status bar runs to about 20% and wont move any further. I have already converted all my text sections to curves, but that won't help either. The complete Affinity file is 175 MB, so it would be a problem to upload, I'm afraid. :( Any idea someone?

quarki69 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thank you, MEB, have uploaded the file now. The Poster Artboard is the one that needs to be exported. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi quarki69, Thanks for the file. I'm having a few issues too. I will pass this to the dev team. Out of curiosity, which PDF preset are you using? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quarki69 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Thank you! :) Hopefully they will find the issue, as I have paid already for the printing and only have to upload the file now. I use PDF/X-1A, 300DPI, Color Space set to CMYK. I can make a screenprint of the settings if needed. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm able to export the PDF with these settings using the latest Beta (1.4.2 beta 4) but it takes way too long to complete the process. quarki69 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quarki69 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Many many thanks for your assistance, MEB! :) In the meantime I exported it as a JPG and sent it to the print shop. But now I have an even bigger problem with the flyer / folder from the same file. I try to copy and paste it in a predefined PDF or AI file from the print shop. but Designer hangs or crashes each and every time! I am totally in love with Affinity, but given the actual situation, I can not risk to start any further project, using Designer I'm afraid. :wacko: :( Unfortunately I have sold my Adobe products already... Argh! Please restore my love for Designer somebody!!! :P That is going to be a loooooooooooong night... :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
