Bug on export pdf with publisher 2.6.2

[Almc]

Hello,

I work on Publisher and I am used to export files for professional printers and since the new update 2.6.2 it is not working as usual: all my images on two pages are only existing on one page when asked "all pages".  I think it is a major bug? Is there a way to bypass this? Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english!

Welcome to the Affinity forums, @Almc.

This is indeed an issue in the recent Affinity releases, logged as AF-6599.

It should not affect true images (JPG, TIFF, PNG) but will affect files such as PSD or .afphoto that you've used as images. The workarounds I know of are to make a copy of the main document, and change the copy to non-Facing pages, then do the Export. Or to replace the PSD or .afphoto files you're using in it with JPG/PNG/TIFF files exported from them instead.

Thank you very much for your answer! I have tried to change .afphoto to Tiff and it works on some images. If possible, can you tell me the way to make a copy of the document with non-Facing pages? Thank you again.

Walt is just suggesting you make a duplicate copy of your file in Windows Explorer and use that version when changing the document to non-Facing pages, to ensure you don't mess up the original document...

Note: With your original file, the missing images will only affect odd-numbered pages when they contain PSD or Affinity files; they should be fine on even-numbered, i.e., left-facing pages.

You're welcome.

Duplicate the document in File Explorer, or from Publisher use Save As to create a copy. In that copy, you can then use Document Setup to change it to non-Facing pages. Then examine the document carefully to make sure it looks OK.

Thank you very much Hangman and walt.farrell . It has been a big help for me. I hope the issues will be corrected on the next update anyway😉.
