Annfinity Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Hello, I believe I have waited long enough for Affinity Photo to fix this issue. I've been suffering through this since last year. EXPORTING AS PDF - Whenever I attempt to export as pdf, this takes anywhere between 30 and 40 minutes to do! For one, I can't export as "PDF (for print)" at all. That just doesn't work, period. I have to export as "PDF (for export)" only, and that takes to an hour to do. I am at my wit's end now, because this has greatly slowed down my productivity. It doesn't matter how small the file is that I am exporting to pdf, I have to wait. And not only that, during this wait, my entire computer is pretty much unusable. This export affects all apps and internet browsing. Everything freezes or crashes. I don't know what to do at this point. Is anyone else having this issue? Can someone please help? Quote

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Last year I was experiencing this issue on my perfectly functioning Acer. Now I'm using a perfectly functioning Macbook and the issue is still here. I have no other issues with Affinity photo except for this pdf export issue. Quote
Old Bruce Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Put together a small Photo document which won't export or takes a really long time to export and post it here telling us your settings in the PDF export. Someone may be able to help you out. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

firstdefence Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Also Download the Affinity Photo Beta 1.7.0.x and test PDF export. It will install as a separate app distinct from 1.6.7 What are your system specs, Operating System, CPU, RAM, etc Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
