Recommended Posts

  • Staff

Status: Public Beta
Purpose: Stability and General Testing
Requirements: Mac OS 10.9 or above

Hi, we have a preview of Publisher build 167 now available. It is currently provided as a manual download from the link above.

As this is a beta it is considered to be not suitable for production use. This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity where you may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. 

We hope you enjoy the product, and as always, if you've got any problems installing or running up, please don't hesitate to post in this thread.

Any problems actually using this version please make a new topic in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Please feel free to leave general suggestions and comments in the Discussion Forum. Many thanks for your continued feedback.

What is the new shortcut for preview mode? And how do I 'Clear User Defaults'?

Switched to F10. Please press <Ctrl> before you launch the app. At the dialog check 'Clear User Defaults'. Be aware this will reset you toolbars and keyboard shortcuts if you have customised them.

Setup did complete this time, but I get

"The instruction at 0x7736f157 referenced memory 0x00000050. The memory could not be read." error.

Do you actually test these updates in Windows?

From 1.7.0.162 install has failed and if I try to go back to an earlier version those now fail too!

Yup.... we're not sold on it. Please make suggestions... in the suggestions forum ;)

Just downloaded v. 167.   Smooth as satin -- as usual.   MAC Sierra.   I have installed it as a separate version, keeping v. 162.    Every document I have created from v. 145 through 162 has opened perfectly.   Granted, I saved the 145's in v. 157, then the 157's in v. 162, and now the 162's in v. 167.

Just a heads up, the last few days I've been using v162 and I never got any update reminders; this is on my laptop, iMac and Mac Mini.

All were running v162 and it was only yesterday when I was browsing the bugs forum that I thought about checking my version number and it was v162. I'd quit and opened it several times throughout the day and the update never alerted me that I should update to v167.

On both versions, when I clicked 'About…', it said I was running 1.7.0 which was the latest version.

Just wanted to flag this up with you as there could be people out there who are still running v162.

I'd like to take the opportunity to give the devs a pat on the back here. The improvements made since the first beta (and made so quickly) give me real confidence in moving from Indesign to Publisher as and when its ready.

Keep up the good work chaps.

P.S. You're going to give Adobe a run for its money - any chance we can buy shares in the company? ;)
