Publisher Exporting Distorted PDFs

[cgourla]

Publisher 2 had been happily exporting 100 page documents to pdf previously. No longer. Overnight pdf exports are riddled with appalling distortions, slices of images randomly appearing on other pages, some images that had been cleaned up appear unedited. At first I tried testing each setting. But it became clear the distortions were random. I had to output one document for the printers a page at a time, each page taking many attempts before it came out right. It took a day to do what should have taken 10 minutes. And yes I uninstalled Publisher and reinstalled. Serif, please tell me you can repair this. Don't drive me back into the arms of Indesign.

@cgourla Do you still have your Publisher file that you had issues with after exporting to PDF? If so can you please use File > Save as Package to create a folder with all the files within, then zip this up and send me a download link fr this file and one of your exported PDF with the issues via DM.

When exporting to PDF, which preset are you selecting and are you changing any of the default options?

Can you also confirm the version of Publisher you're using (V2.XX) and your OS.
