Hicksdesign Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I have a 3x2.5 meter AD document for a display stand. It's CMYK and has a filesize of 176mb. The content is text, a few simple vector icons and a large (174mb) embedded .afphoto document. The embedded photo has a mask, and two adjustment layers (black and white, gradient map). As I try and export to PDF with crop marks it never gets beyond roughly 10%, no matter how long I leave it. The app hasn't crashed, and I cancel the export just fine. It works if I remove the embedded .afphoto image, but I've tried rasterising that layer and still get the issue. I've even tried opening the .afdesign file in Publisher, and exporting from there, but get the same result. I urgently need to export this PDF, does anyone have any ideas?

Old Bruce Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Why not replace the .afphoto document with an embedded .TIFF exported file of the proper size and resolution? stokerg 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted July 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi Hicksdesign, If do swap out the .afphoto like @Old Bruce has suggested, does it export any quicker? Think we could do with getting the .afdesign file from you for this. Just so we can try to track the issue down.
