KF_7_6 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hi, I would like to export a 1.5GB file as a PDF file and Affinity seems to freeze and the process does not go through. The file contains vectors, RGB pictures and text. I use a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz, 8Gb RAM, and the version of Designer is 1.7.2. I tried to export using each PDF preset settings options and the result is the same. PDF export seems to be a recurrent problem, but I did not find a good fix to this, any help ? I am happy to attach the file but not through the forum. Thanks a lot for your help, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinayaksom Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’m experiencing a similar issue post upgrading to MacOS 10.15 Catalina Beta. Earlier, the application was working fine. Hope team will fix this issue soon. Having lot of issues working on my current assignments. Will re-installing Designer work ? Pls help.

Thanks a lot for your help, Kevin Hi Kevin, If you could attach your PDF using the link below to our internal Dropbox account I can investigate the issue. Does the export hang, or does it say it has failed? We've had issues with certain fonts causing the PDF export to fail, so if you could also attach the fonts used to that link that would also help!https://www.dropbox.com/request/GCo3rjQh2CnfPlb7swET Thanks!

Can you please create a separate thread for your issue giving more information and adding screenshots, files and screen capture. This will help us (and others) understand your issue and provide better help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_7_6 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hi Sean, sorry for the delay. I uploaded the original affinity file. Let me know if you manage to convert it in PDF. In my case the process starts and then hang, but never go through. Thanks a lot Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted September 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks for the file Kevin, Interestingly Windows was able to export this to PDF, however macOS is just getting stuck like you say. I'll get this passed on to development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
