Unhandled exception when exporting to PDF

[martinkuzelka]

Hi guys,

I am experiencing crashes (Unhandled exception and then "Crash Reporter cannot find an error report to send.") when I try to export my work to PDF (for print).

Hi martinkuzella, and welcome to the Affinity forums.

 

I downloaded your file, opened it in AD 1.5.2.58, selected Export to pdf (entirely the default settings so exactly as per the file you supplied), exported immediately.  I have attached the resulting file.

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your reply.

 

I am using AD 1.5.2.58 too. Which export preset have you tried? Preset PDF (for print) always ends with unhandled exception on my PC.

Using the Pdf (for print) at 300 DPI preset I see the crash!  No sooner is that preset selected than AD closes immediately, no error message, no crash report, nothing but my computer desktop!

 

I tested, in turn ALL the default pdf Export presets; all worked without problem except Pdf (for print) and Pdf X-4, both of which caused an immediate shutdown of AD.  Hopefully one of the real experts will see this thread and download the file, possibly also the developers.

Thanks for reporting this. It is triggered by having Allow advanced features ticked, and by the bitmap fill on the stroke. That stroke doesn't make much difference to the result, so you can probably delete it. It's the lowest object in the embedded documents with the hearts. We'll fix the bug for 1.6.
