Affinity Publisher 2.5.6 - Significant export issue

[LEB]

Dear all,

I noticed today that some of my PDFs with certain images would fail during export.

The message is unspecific: "Erreur lors de l'exportation vers: [name of export file]".

I can send the afpub document and image privately.

Hi @LEB,

There is a small regression in the 2.5.6 update when exporting PDFs under certain circumstances. The quick solution is to check Embed Profiles in the Advanced section of the PDF Export window as detailed here...

If Embedding Profiles is not an option when exporting to PDF, there are a couple of additional workarounds detailed here which may help while we await a patch to fix this bug...

Hi @Hangman,

Wow, I am impressed!

True: embedding the profile solves the issue.
