Is there something else I can do to get the download to work? (backup plans are (a) to pay for some other pdf tool that will combine the smaller downloaded pdfs into one file for loading to Flowpaper, or (b) upgrading to a better creativity tool (hopefully one that can import Adobe Express files).
For reference, here's some additional bg and workflow info:
I have a 84 page flyer (8.5" x 11") project in Express. Ideally, I want to take 34 pages and send to FlowPaper app to create an online booklet. I never was able to get that to work properly. So my work around was to download pages 1-17 to a pdf file, then also download pages 18-34 to a pdf file. Using the Express Quick Actions "Combine Files" function, I can then combine and download into a single PDF. The separate pdf files are ~ 17MB each; the combined is 57MB. I then load this 57MB pdf into Flowpaper and that has worked great.
However, the editing on the document is not complete. Since creating the 57MB file, I've updated and added images to the document. I can no longer download into 2 pdf files. I know need to download into 3 files.. This I'm able to do. The file sizes given the way i broke them down are 21MB, 9MB, 9MB. I then loaded these into Express "Combine files" quick action. When I try to download the combined file, it churns for awhile indicating that it is "Downloading...." Then after a few minutes, the downloading message disappears and goes back the state right before i tried to download--no error messages, no information what so ever to help troubleshoot.
Additional work around efforts yielded the following:
I found a different work flow that should be fine. I forgot that i had acrobat as part of the annual express subscription. I was able to use that to take the 21MB, 9MB, 9MB file and combine them in Acrobat (which also utilized MS Edge 8-| ). This gives me the file i need for Flow Paper AND is only 33MB. It would be great if I could know the max file size for some of these tools...
Of course, this isn't the straightforward Adobe Express to FlowPaper path built into Adobe Express.
