emanuele a Posted February 20, 2024 Posted February 20, 2024 Hello, i am a long time user of affinity publisher version 1 and now 2. I am in the process of exporting my 3rd volume of my auto-produced magazine which is usually a photographic magazine full of photos, A4 vertical format. 1st volume was 152 pages, 2nd volume was 156 pages, and now i'm doing 148 pages. I did all of the in affinity publisher. Now, the problem is the following I'm trying to export a PDF file as a preview of the finished work, so i set the quality to just 96 dpi. i chosed to export the file in the D:\ which has 300gb of free space, BUT while it exports, it's filling insanely up the C:\ in which i have 36gb of free space... It completely fills up the space at 1/2 of the export progress, and then obviously the export crashes. With affinity v1 and the previous 2 volumes i've never had this problem, despite the larger size of the file. Can someone help with this non sense filling up of memory?? Otherwise i can't export and sell my project... Quote
emanuele a Posted February 20, 2024 Author Posted February 20, 2024 NO GOOD Update: i just uninstalled and reinstalled the v2 with my license. i have tried to export the file at 96dpi again. it worked, the file has been exported in D:\ and weights 104mb BUT Publisher generated a file of 29gb in the temp folder of the C:\ just to export 1 single file of 104mb. See images attached If i then have to export it at 300dpi for the print, i'm screwed............. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 20, 2024 Posted February 20, 2024 Your choices, as I see them, are to: Free up storage on your C drive; or Move your .affinity folder. If you want to do that, and are willing to accept a small loss of performance (but no other problems that I've seen), I've given a set of instructions which you can find below. I don't know whether something has changed in your file that causes the processing to create a larger temp file than you got in V1, or if something has changed in V2, or if you simply got lucky in V1 and had more room on the C drive. emanuele a 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

emanuele a Posted February 20, 2024 Author Posted February 20, 2024 @walt.farrell thank you. After freeing at least 50gb on my C it worked. The PDF file for printing at 300dpi has ended up weighting 1.65gb. So good to know that for such large files i need to have at least 50 free gigabytes. Or your 2nd option i think that can work very well too. Thank you for the help. Quote
