Publisher export to PDF consistently fails to include certain elements.

[dfmo]

Hi, 

I'm stumped, some images or pdfs within picture frames are  simply omitted from the pdf export. I've hit a wall regarding this issue. It has happened before but this is the only file where I've tested plenty of potential solutions and different pdf export options.

I am running publisher 2.6.0 on Mac OS

Thank you in advance for your time.

Are you referring to the image on page 2 which exports incorrectly?

I was able to fix it by going to Document Setup > Colour and changing the Colour Profile to Wide Gamut RGB, or by exporting to PDF and changing the Colour Profile in the Export dialog to the same Wide Gamut RGB option.

I don't know enough about this to know why this isn't working with the default sRGB colour profile but at least that's a workaround.

Good luck

Thank you Mike, unfortunatley changing the sRGB colour profile is not helping me with a correct export. I get cropped images on various pages, attached is the output i'm receiving. I'll try learning more about colour profiles though, maybe the answer is there. thanks!

@dfmo Are you still having an issue exporting to PDF?

If I replace the image in the frame on the second page (as some of your resources are linked) and export, nothing is cut off or missing. The same applies to the other objects in the PDF I export, everything seems to be there.

What are your PDF export settings?

You could also try creating a copy of your .afpub file and embedding all the resources, save and then export to PDF.
