Thank you for your help!! 🙂

Ahhhh well that would work, I'm sure. 🙂 How does one pin the graphics to the text?

I have a bunch of linked text boxes where the text flows from one to the other. Now that I have my layout of graphics, etc. set, I don't want to mess anything up when it's time to make edits to the text. How can I delink the text so that it will no longer flow through the sequence of boxes without changing it on each page? I'm attaching a screenshot to show how the text needs to stay lined up with the images and such when I make edits. If I edit anything too much, I will have to change the graphics on hundreds of pages as it will totally mess up the alignment because the text on the pages will reflow. I hope I'm making sense! Thanks for any help and suggestions!

The edited font worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you SOOOOOO much! I did a font replacement for the original using the edited font. Everything looks identical, but it's exporting properly. Thank you again. I am so grateful!

I'm on a Windows. Thank you so much for modifying the font! I soooo appreciate it! I'll try it out and see if that makes a difference. :-)

I cleared my font cache and this didn't fix the issue. I'll keep poking around. :-) Thanks again for your help!!

Oh wow!! The typing issues is fixed now!! I can't thank you enough!! I have no idea how I assigned those to styles!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! I've been fighting with the trying to type a capital T and P for awhile and am so happy to have it fixed! I'll look into the other solutions for the PDF export. :-D Heading off to look up how to clear my font cache!!

I downloaded the fun.afpub and tried to type the capital T or P into it where you typed "I can type TP anywhere in the document even here TP I wonder if you can now?" and it still won't work for me. :-) Thank you for trying!

Thanks for checking! I turned on view special characters. I can see my paragraph marks, etc. but that doesn't do anything to fix it nor does it change what happens when I type those two letters. I checked character and paragraph styles and don't have anything special turned on. As for the 9pt paragraph mark, yes, I get that when I try to type those letters (but for me the letters don't show up at all). I really appreciate you taking a look. :-)

When I go to type in a capital T (as I did here) the cursor goes to a smaller size and doesn't type in the letter at all. However, if I start a sentence with a small letter t, and then type in a space, a lower case t will automatically turn into a capital T. It just won't type in a capital T or capital P wherever I want it to. Instead the cursor changes to a smaller font size (9 pt vs. 14 pt which is my default right now) and won't type the T or P at all. The screenshot is showing what happened. I held shift and typed a t and the cursor got smaller and there is no letter. It refuses to type a capital T or P in that font (unless I paste it in from a diff. document - then it will show up just fine). I hope I'm making sense! Let me know if you need more details.

I'm having trouble with a specific font in Publisher 2. This is the font: https://www.1001freefonts.com/sf-cartoonist-hand.font (I have the commercia license, but it's free for personal use if someone wants to test it out.) The capital letters T and P will not work unless I paste them in from another document. This doesn't happen in Designer 2 or Photo 2. Another issue I have is when I export a document in publisher, the ! (exclamation mark) in that font doesn't show up in the PDF, even though I tell it to embed all fonts. My current workaround is to export the text as curves, but I'd like to keep the document text searchable, so I'm hoping to be able to figure out what's going on. I don't have any issues with this font in any of my other programs or the other Affinity programs, either. This particular font is important and used throughout all my products, so I can't just change it to something else. I'm attaching a page from a PDF export to show how the exclamation marks aren't showing up (there should be one after the sentence "Make sure to print out the vocabulary cards if you want to use them, though!" and "You can color these images while listening to an audio book or when you need to de-stress an relax!". I've also extracted the example page if someone wants to see it in Publisher. Thank you for any help you can give me!! page extract.pdf font test.afpub

I believe it was a .jpg that was causing the issue. I'm attaching the malfunctioning page, in case anyone wants to dig deeper. I believe you are correct! Thank you for taking a look! I appreciate everyone's help so very much! I was ready to pull my hair out, lol. I'm grateful to have the issue fixed! ❤️ malfunctioning page.afpub

I'm trying to figure it out piece by piece. As soon as I figure out what the cause is, I'll post!

I found the page that was causing issues thanks to thomaso's great suggestions! I just kept exporting sections until I discovered the exact page. Thank you SOOOO much for your help! I'm going to recreate the page from scratch and hopefully that will fix it. Thanks again!!! I'm so thankful and appreciative!!

Thank you for the suggestions. I will share the file privately with the official Affinity people if they ask me to. I'm attaching the PDF log to this post. My PDF settings are as follows: Preset: PDF for print Rasterize: Unsupported properties Downsample images above DPI 375 Resampler: Bilinear Use DPI: 300 Allow JPG compression - quality 98 Compatibility: PDF 1.7 Acrobat 8 Color Space: As document ICC Profile: Use document profile Embed ICC profile I exported the file a couple of times. Not much has changed except I moved from a Windows 10 computer to a Windows 11 computer. I've had issues with this file before and posted in this forum (this file was crashing repeatedly, especially when I tried to do a fix for "One or more tables of contents entries need updating" in the preflight area. Deleting a Windows update as suggested made it stop crashing. Another problem I just noticed this file is having: The preflight area is still showing me the notice "One or more tables of contents entries need updating". When I click it, it acts like it's trying to fix it (and for some reason my TOC totally changes its layout and the fonts used, etc. when I press it) but the message doesn't go away no matter how many times I press the fix button. When I mention "other similar files" this file is based off of some workbooks I made previously, so it has all the same settings and also used some of those original pages. Basically, I used the other workbooks as templates, deleted some pages, and added material. So, they aren't exactly the same, but they do use the same settings and same page templates, etc. I just tried exporting a much smaller section and the export worked. I'm going to try to figure out what section is causing the issue and will explore if there is a url causing issues as per tudor's suggestion. Thank you both so much for your suggestions and help! Edited to add: I took out all the urls and that didn't change anything. pdflib.log
