Corrupted file (split)

[Bdis]

I have a corrupted .afpub file - any hope it can be restored? Too large to upload here, 1.5 gb

There are a couple of things you can try:

1. If the file contains any Linked files, rename the directory that contains them, or try Opening the file on a machine without access to the directory. Sometimes if the error is with one of the Linked files, that will allow you to get it opened.
2. If that doesn't work, try starting a new document, and using Document > Add pages from file... to add pages from the old file. Note that if the file you're recovering uses Facing Pages, and starting on the right, you might want to start your new document also with Facing Pages, and 2 pages initially to keep the page arrangement correct. Add the pages after page 2.

Welcome to the forums @Bdis,

If after following Walt's advice above you've not been able to recover your file feel free to upload it to the dropbox link below and we can take a look at the document.

In addition to providing the file, if you could provide the following information that would be great:

• What version of Publisher are you running?
• What Operating System are you using?
• What storage medium was the file saved to/opened from? (E.G Local Drive, Network Drive, Cloud Drive, External Drive)

Many thanks
