Exporting images from Spreads distorts image width


Recommended Posts

Hi

When I export a single page as an image from a spread (so one half of the spread) with bleed, the resulting image is slightly narrower. If I export the entire spread as an image, the image dimensions will be correct. So based on the example below, the export settings in Publisher look correct. 1984 px x 2716 px is the correct size for the image but when I open the image in Photo, it shows that it's actually only 1915 px wide. Somehow about 6 mm of the image were gone with the export. I found this out when I imported the image back to Publisher and saw that it didn't exactly match the original layout.

I tried this with different Publisher projects so it's not just an issue with a single file I was working on. I tried it with TIFF files too and got the same results. My document is set up with facing pages and I can't really switch back to single page view to export the pages from there because I designed my layout while in the spread view and when I switch it to page view it becomes messed up.

  • This also affects exporting single pages that aren't part of a spread (the very first page and the very last page in my document)
  • Bleed seems to be the issue since when I export a single page of a spread WITHOUT the bleed then the size is correct (I need to export it with bleed though)

Publisher version 1.7.0.305

We believe this has been addressed in the latest (#371) beta build. Please retest this behaviour.
