Hello,
Ive never had issues with previous and much bigger projects but for some reason this exported PDF just barely loads, when it does its low resolution and when i click to a different page it disappears and tries to load again. It's so frustrating. Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks for sharing,
I have openede your file in Adobe Acrobat Reader 21.007 and in Chrome. Both took some time (about 30s, pls see attached video). I think that the problem is in the paved areas. Texture is too dense. When you save a pdf file, textures are exploded in to separate lines and dots. They are no longer vectorial. That means that your pavement has now probably milions separate lines, cyrcles and dots which cause problem when opening.
You have more options how to make it work:
1. change the texture to less hevy one
2. change at least texture for first page which has higher scale. You can do it whit graphical owerrides
3. export pdf as bitmap image. This one is more complicated and there is some quality loss at the end
Hey Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I have used Preview on several (much bigger) projects and never had an issue. I have also tried Adobe's PDF reader and that was much the same. My teacher couldn't open my file when i sent him my work too, I'm sure he has all the appropriate software.
Im not sure what you mean about the 'make a difference between publish a pdf and print"?
I haven't changed any parameters with the exporting. I essentially just click 'Publish'.

Andersfjaeger,
When you save a pdf file, textures are exploded in to separate lines and dots. They are no longer vectorial.
Of course, the hatching remains vectorial, but it is indeed a multitude of lines.
I have used Preview on several (much bigger) projects and never had an issue.
Please note that the size of a project has no relation to your working method (mastered or involuntary). Each project has its own specificity.
It is very likely that it will be useful to change the more detailed hatching in favor of more sober hatching.
Also, be sure to publish your PDFs rather than saving your PDFs. So you will have access to multiple PDF settings (layers, compression, etc.)

Finaly I wonder about these pictures, are there optimised ?
For the more difficult PDFs I run them through an Automator script (macOS only), this optimizes my PDF file to make it easy to open and print through Preview.app which is not a good Postscript software.
Still looking?
