Can I send it to you personally… don't want to distribute it here on the forum.

I tried to export a document into PDF-X3 or X4. When doing so… …text in black got separated into CMYK …text and elements on a background lost all trappings. Only resolution was to export in PDF 1.7 Whatever adjustments are made in the pdf export menu get ignored/overwritten. Quite annoying to be honest.

I had the same problem. Affinity screws the color when exporting in PDFX4 or X3. It worked as soon as I exported in PDF 1.7 As soon as I used PDF X3 or X4 the adjustments are overwritten and you get all sort of problems. Trappings don't work as well. It took me quite a bit to figure this out, my printer was not happy. I am quite annoyed by it… I should write a separate topic now that I think of it.

I just had the same problem: Document in grey, text only (apart from a logo) and exported as greyscale PDFX4… according to the printer I got a PDF in 4c. This should be really easier and most of all: consistent. At the moment I have the feeling that the choices when exporting PDF don't have any effect at all.

Sorry to have dropped out. It was actually a question of readability as well as typography that is considered correct in German speaking countries. It is not an issue any more. Due to a change of font, the problem solved itself. I guess the font used was badly spaced/kerned. Thanks a lot and sorry for the silence on my part.

Thanks, and how do I use this in a whole book? Search and exchange? I usually find this rather… untrustworthy.

Hello everyone, today I have a very special problem. I need to add a bit more flesh before punctuation marks, notably ! and ?. They should be offset a bit more from the text than they usually are. Now in a book it is a bit difficult to do everyone by hand. I was unable to find an automatic kerning for this. Is there a way? If not, it would be great to add the possibility to fix a certain kerning with a certain letter. i. e. + 30% before all ? and + 20 % before all ! Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks a lot! H.

There it is again, both with 1.8.3 and the Beta. Just like before. Inserting a page: Crash

As the others noted: Clicking the box does nothing. There is no possibility to get a cursor in this box. Would be great to have this fixed. It does not work in the new Beta version either, sadly.

I can choose the different types of listings and I can add elements but I can't delete or change them (see screenshot). I need a numerical listing without the . after the number – so no ordinance numbers but numerical ones. Unfortunately I can't access the "code" to delete the . Thanks a lot! H.

It seems to run fine with the 1.8.4 Beta. Hopefully it was just one of these inexplicable glitches. Sadly I noticed that there are still no footnotes in the beta (unless I missed them). Thanks for your fast reply and help! all the best H.

I just uploaded the file. Please handle the content responsibly.

I am working on a book project. Every chapter starts with an authors page (Master page "Portrait") and several text pages (Master Page A). The Portrait page is a single page – as it is always a left page. The Master pages for text is a spread layout (double pages). Sometimes it is necessary to insert a chapter. When I insert a portrait page and then a master page to complete the spread – Publisher crashes. I attach a video of the problem. It is quite annoying, to be honest.

That did it … Thank you very much! It is so good to always find help here. Thanks a lot!

Hello Wizards! Again a seemingly simple question (Publisher): I put elements on a master page. In several instances in the book I need to move them slightly around. But they are fixed and can't be moved. I can't unlock them either. So – am I stuck with the position they are in for all pages? If so, that should be remedied. Master pages should not hinder you for fine adjustments later. So… is there a way? Thanks a lot! H.

Rather than opening a new topic I would like to add a further request here: 1. Yes please – make the multiple linking available through resource manager (as Walt.farrell suggested) Thanks!

Well… I see what I can do. Thanks a lot for your quick help. Maybe a suggestion for the wishlist for Designer. Have a good time!

That is a bummer. Any way to distort text? That could be a workaround if I could warp the text. Sadly didn't find out how to do that either.

My dear Affinity wizards, maybe you can help me with this… again. I know how to put text on a path. Works fine, unless I want the letters to remain upright. At the moment the text follows the path so that the letters are always perpendicular to the path. I would like them to remain vertical. I add a screenshot of the text and two examples to show what I mean. I hope somebody can help me out with this. Thanks a lot! H.

Thanks for the video. I wasn't aware of this possibility. Quite cool. But I need a different section of the picture each time. So, that's not it. Thanks for pointing it out anyway… new feature I have just learned.

One example is that the same image is used several times. Each time a specific part of the picture has to been shown. To be able to do this, I can either crop it in Photo several times so I have several images or use the same image and resize it to show the desired parts. Does that make sense? Unfortunatley, the parts that are to be shown are often within two percentages as the images are quite large.

Ah… now that makes… well it doesn't but once you know it, one can use it that way. Thank you very much. This was really a concern because I didn't dare to reorganize the pictures.

I see, so it is really just the UI. Bit weird, as many thing with Publisher. Still, I like it. Thanks a lot!

Hello! I have a book with tons of pictures. If these pictures get moved, I have to relocate them via assets. If 20 pictures have moved into a new folder, I have to relocate each and every one. Publisher seems unable to realize that in the same folder are all the other pictures that were relocated. So instead of being asked if I want to reconnect them, I have to manually add each and every one. Even if the file-names didn't change. This is a bit of a nuisance. Am I doing anything wrong, is there a way to do this? Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello everyone! I seem to be able to only resize pictures in Publisher in increments of whole %. I can have 32 % or 33 % but not 32,3 %… What did I miss? This may seem picky but actually it is not if you want an exact crop of a picture. If someone could help, it would be great. Thanks a lot!
