Generating....................................5 minutes later.....Generating.........................10 minutes later..................Generating..................................25 minutes later.............Generating.................do i chance hitting refresh...........30 minutes later.....Generating................Do I start over and chance waiting another 30 minutes...................45 minutes later................Generating.........Hmmmm if only they had something like a progression bar...........do I chance reloading the page.......Generating........ Hmmm Maybe a 0-100% indication.........Generating...............................................................................................................................................................................................................What was this $299 for again?

PS. This is after my 3rd attempt.... and waiting 30 minutes each attempt. And reloading or doing anything else produces a file that isnt large enough. My project is 19mb and im getting files 11.2 and 15.7.

Im sorry. But........" Still in beta " isnt a good answer.

    If it's only 19MB, then I'd wait 10 minutes (probably more than enough) and then refresh. It never tells me that it's complete unless I refresh.

    The publishing page should be 100% rock solid. Users should not have to use work arounds as weak as

    ( Have I waited long enough ??????? Can I now hit the refresh button??? Should I wait 5 more minutes and then hit the refresh button??? Oh lord I hope hitting the refresh button doesnt make me have to do it all over again like it did the last time I hit the refresh button. )

    I've never had a single problem generating and signing. Patience is a virtue

    hitting refresh has no impact on the generation. if it's ready you will see the congratulations notice. if it is not ready, you have to wait a moment and hit refresh again.

    and don't go by the file size as an indication. The file you download is compiled and compressed. If you have retina graphics enabled it can almost double in size. I upload a 50MB retina project and download a 70MB one.

    when you see the congratulations notice hit the sign app button.

    So refresh/reload page. Is the standard operating procedure, when generating and finding out your file is ready? Guessing that you have waiting long enough and now is the time to refresh/reload page?

    Could it be better? of course. Is it 1000x better than the old system? you bet.

    Ok just wanted to know. Sometimes when I had hit refresh or reload. It acts like I haven't submitted anything. And I have to start all over.
