Hangman Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Hi @Rosebell Design Co. LLC and welcome to the forums, If you untick Tagged PDF in the PDF Export Advanced Settings section does the file export without the error? If not, can you upload your file so we can take a look...

Rosebell Design Co. LLC Posted September 6 Author Share Posted September 6 With Tagged PDF ticked or unticked, I can only export for print, not digital. I will upload the file. Do you want it exported just as a PDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want it exported just as a PDF? Could you upload the original Publisher file along with any linked graphics... If you have linked graphics you can use File > Save as Package and then save this to a new empty folder. You will then see an .afpackage file along with an Images folder. If you can zip those up and upload the zip file that would be perfect... If the graphics are all embedded then you can just upload the Publisher file as is...

There are two that contain the link targets twice or more, change them to one and it exports. It is Coloring Book Series and Communication Chair. PS: Unfortunately this is not reported by Preflight, so I would call it a bug.

Hangman Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Hi @Rosebell Design Co. LLC, Many thanks for the file... The export issue is caused by one of the hyperlinks on Page 7... The email address is duplicated in the Hyperlink text entry window for Moazmah Gill (Incoming) Communication Chair... and the URL for Dani Sohn (Incoming) Resource Administrator is also duplicated... If you remove the duplicates the file will export... joe_l 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 Affinity Designer Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Photo Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.6.0.2861 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one more question, is there a way to check the hyperlinks in a mass way, instead of going link by link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
