Even in beta that sounds extremely slow. I tried exporting a 180 pg PDF from a math textbook and seemed to export as I would expect from Indesign. My computer is a maxed out 5K iMac though with a 1tb flash drive so that helps with a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dampsquid Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Graphic heavy? Yes, very. Old computer... well, it's not too old - a 2015 MacBook Pro, usually up for just about anything. Final export completed successfully, but it took around 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariana M Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm experiencing the same issue with a day planner interior (so, 365+ pages). Multiple hours (I think 2, or maybe more?) and there are no "pictures" or colors. Just lines and letters/numbers, and it is still hours! I've double checked settings, and they appear normal, but yeah it takes for.ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toco Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Hello all together I have the same issue here. 20-paged brochure, quite graphic heavy (a background image on every page, pictures). I also have some PDF files with vectorized text. I had to convert the text into vectors because Publisher does not just place a PDF with included fonts into the document but rather "opens" the file; so all of the fonts are completely messed up. The export takes about 3 hours. However, the exported PDF file isn't that big (62 MB, which is the normal size for a high-end print PDF). I tried different settings, but even the low-res export takes about 2 hours. These are my settings: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) 2.2 GHz, macOS 10.14.6, 16 GB RAM, Publisher v.1.7.3 Edited November 5, 2019 by toco added OS version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
