William Fox Talbot Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I have an i7 and 16 gig of RAM. Bizarrely I am having speed problems with saving PDF files and many other situations, is this normal? (I'm talking minutes to save) I am finding it to be far slower than PS. What is going on? The ad boasts about speed and work flow??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Fox Talbot Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 What do you mean by what size exactly? Windows. I am finding the whole experience to be very slow compared to PS is this normal? It's almost intolerable. Thanks ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCourtney Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Open your saved PDF in WIndows Explorer and see what the file size is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Was just trying to gauge whether the PDF was large, image heavy etc so render time to PDF would be longer, a 1 MB PDF would take less time than a 200MB PDF to render.

William Fox Talbot Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 First defense, The file could be up to 100 meg for printing. This is no problem in PS. I find in general AP to be very slow in many situations compared to PS. Is this your experience also? I am certain there must be something wrong with the program or my computer?

Granddaddy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 There is a discussion of very slow PDF export in AFPub at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/90388-publisher-pdf-file-size-and-export-time-questions/ No suggestions have been forthcoming as to why on my relatively fast machine it takes 8 minutes to export a PDF file while at Serif it takes 20 seconds.
