abeardsl23 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hello. I recently began getting an error when trying to open certain AF files. Anyone have experience with this same thing (see attached for screenshot of error, as well as AF file). Thank you IntakeForm MarketingSheet.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Your attached file is of zero bytes. If that is what you are trying to open, it won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted April 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hi abeardsl23, As @MikeW has stated, the file size is 0kb so there is technically nothing to open and nothing for us to try and recover If you still have the .afdesign file you can always re-export it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abeardsl23 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Thanks, guys. Yeah, I saw that too, but the funny thing is...it opened initially and there was content in it. I then exported to SVG (which worked), saved the AF file with the name listed in the screenshot, and can't re-open it. (scratches head) I've since just started over, but was hoping for some sort of idea as to what may have happened to prevent future instances. Thanks again!

Were you using AD or APhoto? Just curious as it doesn't change the fact it is zero bytes, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abeardsl23 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Oops! I started spelling Affinity. I'm using Designer. Sorry for the inopportune typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted April 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 4, 2019 @abeardsl23 I see in the error where you are loading the file from. Is that also where you save the afdesign file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nin Possbile Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi I just got the same problem. After I export the PDF file, I save the afdesign file. Then I tried to open the file again and got this error. The file suddenly turned to a 0kb file. Try to reinstall the program and it didn't work. But! I checked the recycle bin and found my file! I quickly restore it and got my file back! There must be something wrong during the saving progress. I'm on version 1.9.1.979 though hopefully anyone reading this will find the old file like I did! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
