Ian Tasker Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hi - since the last upgrade Affinity Publisher files on my iMac files have become smaller once I have made small changes. For example one project was 366MB and is now only 189MB with only minimal changes made. Is this right? Should I worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard O Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Link resources are treated differently and this will reduce the file size. I think there is a note on the Publisher beta forum but cannot find it right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted May 29, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 29, 2019 As Gerard O has said, we handle linked images differently now, so the reduction in file size is likely due to that. Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
