    I find printing from the pdf reader is best/easiest when creating booklets.

    I think middle aged is a better description.
  3. Catshill
    That is not going to be possible.

    And the failure to remember to print anything other spreads is equally annoying.

    Just break the diagram down into components and work through a number of the online ADe tutorials. It won’t be difficult but it will take time.

    You will need to back up your linked images as well as your APu files. I can recommend Veeam Free Agent for doing this on Windows.

    I’d create your own empty template/document using master pages, linked text frames and a base text style with sub styles for headings etc. Copy all the source text into this new template, using paste as plain text. Finally apply your text styles as required. It sounds a longer way round but in my experience starting with clean text is much quicker than trying to find and fix the cause of broken bits of formatting.

    I’d be happy if that were the case but a number of my linked pdf images in picture frames only display around a quarter of their content in my documents. If I reload the image, I get 100% frame display again but then I the display issue returns. 64Gb ram and Windows.

    For commercial printing you will almost certainly want cmyk, crop marks, 300dpi and most importantly remember to set export as pages rather than spreads which despite creating and setting a preset (something I recommend you do) it always defaults/reverts to.

    It’s was not meant in a derogatory way. I genuinely work that way as using different strength reading glasses means I can see a lot more of my project and also focus in on specific items as required.

    Try using your reading glasses and move your head closer to the screen when needed.

    Thank you @Hangman and @lacerto I will investigate further.

    Thanks for the replies and apologies if I was not being clear. I've corrected my OP when I referenced the RGB rather than the CMYK value. First of all the text style is set to CMYK 0-0-0-100K As I said earlier my printers are now happy with the PDF I am sending them as text is 0-0-0-K100. However, I still do not know what factor(s) in the PDF export profile affect the conversion of CMYK 0.0.0.100K set text to other CMYK values as shown below. These screenshots show the original PDF showing incorrect CMYK value and the current PDF showing the correct CMYK value. Note that the only difference in the source APu file were the export settings used - I just can't work out what setting(s) are making the change. CMYK b.mp4 CMYK a.mp4

    Could be as simple as having opened an earlier copy of the same pdf? It happens to me all the time.

    Hi @Hangman Check what? I already know what the output is. I want to identify the factor in the export profile that changes the text colour.

    I want to check that the black text in my press-ready PDF is actually black. The document profile is set as CMYK Text colour is showing in the document as CMYK 0-0-0-100 I'm using the following export profile: Text colour in the PDF produced shows RGB 20-29-27 CMYK 69-66-67-77 A previous profile showed RGB 30-27-27 which my commercial printer flagged as an issue and I want to find out which setting I set actually corrected the issue. I've read the following threads but I am none the wiser:

    Thank you for looking into this and following up.

    I get these when I have double spread master page applied to a single page. The “ghost” frame appears on the page that doesn’t have the MP applied.
  19. Catshill
    You can set that option in preferences.

    No all the assets are on my main drive. I suspect it’s a memory issue because closing the app and rebooting clears it despite me having 64Gb ram. I’ve definitely noticed more stability issues when I use the resource manager. I think the lesson is to close down APu after working on it for a few hours and a reboot won’t hurt either.
  21. Catshill
    Thanks @stokerg I've uploaded the complete package, an updated APu file and the crash reports folder.
  22. Catshill
    I've uploaded the file for you @stokerg If you need any of the linked assets, let me know.

    I've noticed that APu 2.2.1 tends to hang after updating modified images with the Resource manager. I can save the file (though it doesn't actually save the changes) and close the file. But after reopening I am prompted to recover the files. When I do that, the updates are no longer there. If instead of update I use the Replace option (I have to save, close and reopen each time), the file saves OK although a recovery option is still presented (I ignore it). I believe something is broken in the Resource manager.

    As a Wordpress user I use ADe and APh all the time to create and manage assets. A 2023 version of Dreamweaver is going to be a very minority sport with limited appeal in a CMS environment.

    If you don’t want to use the paragraph window, you could open a text ruler and drag the first marker as explained at https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Text/indents.html?title=Indents
