Publisher V2 for iPad- crashes when Placing images

[StudioJason]

Have Publisher V2 on iPad Pro, and have successfully placed a few images in Picture Frames, but when attempting to place an image on a certain one, it constantly crashes. Well over 7 attempts now.

‘Have tried converting the complete Document even to ‘Preferred Linked’ in case of file size, and still cannot …crashes every time.

Is not a large document, only roughly 12-14 pages, with basically little Text even…mainly Art Text style headers mainly, so far.

Haven’t even gotten into TOC etc.

I know the Image files being used are large, hence going for the Linked Preferred format (Artwork images), but still crashing.

‘Any ideas?

Appreciate any input.

Now am able to Replace via the Resource Manager, a bit better efficiently than Placing to replace… BUT then if I can replace, I have to close the Document completely then click Save after each one or it crashes and doesn’t save, just to keep the changes before progressing to the next.

Hi Studio Jason,

As this crash is only occuring when trying this with one frame does deleting and recreating the frame solve this issue at all? If not would be able to provide a copy of the document in question along with the image you are using so I can try and replicate this here? It may also help if you could provide a screen recording or steps I can follow to reproduce this.

Thanks

Was finally able to keep Publisher from crashing performing this, but only after painstakingly going through and deleting all images on each page, and then exiting the Document to Save after every 4th or fifth image. Lest it would continue crashing without keeping the changes, causing me to restart all over again.

Went through and edited my image list used, to reduce the size of the PNGs used …which were not that large by any means (only approx. 5mb for largest).

With the number of images though, still was prompted for ‘Link Preferred’ option over Embedding which I’d prefer embedded. Unless it is better, if it will retain the images when Exporting. Understand need to send them along for printing purposes, but is Digital Format right now (still would like the option).

Will still get a sporadic crash after working on Document for awhile, but not like before.

Is there some image type/size/amount cutoff point that I’m unclear about? As have seen others using even more than I am using currently without crashing the App, even Embedded images… and definitely want to utilize at least a PNG format, to retain any transparencies but mostly to keep the clarity of artwork used.
