Serif Affinity Publisher – Solving major problems

Despite being a modern and technologically advanced layout app – it’s still just a program for your PC, and even the best programs sometimes get cranky. What to do if it slows down, doesn’t open files or suddenly crashes?

Software crashing on startup

The system problem occurs when PC configuration is not good or when the program becomes corrupted. Verify if the antivirus creates any startup interference. Some protections like to block “suspicious” files.

Solution

Try temporarily disabling the antivirus and start the program again. If it doesn’t help, just reinstall the program. It is important to delete it completely, including temporary files.

Document are not opening

Let’s for example, you have a layout you’ve been working on for a long time and Publisher refuses to open it. That’s unpleasant.

Solution

Try opening the document on another device with the same version of the program. If it loads there, maybe the problem is with the system, not the file. If the file is corrupted, you can try to restore it through backup copies that the software automatically creates. If there are no copies, try importing the document into another graphic editor and saving it in a new format.

Program slows down

It is possible that there is not enough RAM. Software can be gluttonous, especially if the layout is full of high-resolution images.

Solution

Close unnecessary programs and clear RAM. Check if hardware accelerated processing is enabled in the settings – it helps to unload the processor. If the hangs continue, update your video card drivers. Sometimes the problem lies in them.

Export to PDF is not working properly

The finished project is fine, but when exporting to PDF, there are streaks, distortions or some elements are missing? This may be due to font incompatibility or incorrect export settings.

Solution

Try changing the font format, because sometimes OTF works better than TTF. Also make sure all images are embedded in the file and not attached as links. In the export settings, uncheck image compression to avoid loss of quality.

Program crashes without warning

This can happen if the program is overloaded with heavy files or conflicts with other programs.

Solution

Try to run the software without third-party utilities in the background. Also check if there is enough free space on the disk where the program is installed. When the system disk is full, Affinity may simply not be able to handle data processing.

Download & Install

Download

Install

Installation is quite simple and will not cause difficulties for anyone. Just install the program through the file from the archive (the archive by the way opens with the password “softexpo” which we also duplicate in the name) and after installing the file apply the file with the name crack to get access to all the functions of the program unlimited.

Any difficulties?

Let’s take a guess – your antivirus is swearing at the downloaded files. Don’t worry – the system naturally dislikes files that make software free. To install the program correctly, just disable your antivirus during installation!
