OK, thank you. I was sent a coloured jpg which I placed as a draft, then opened the jpg in AF Photo to change to black and white. Replacing the jpg with the afphoto changed the default wrap outline, which took me by surprise. Probably, the wrap outline for the afphoto was the whole, uncropped jpg while the cropped part of the jpg was visible.

There appears to be a problem with text wrap when placing an AF Photo image onto a page of text in AF Publisher. The text wrap square setting does not allow text up to the image. The attached file shows an extra border above the image. Placing a jpg of the same image gives the expected result. I am using AF Publisher 1.9.2 Afphototextwrap.afpub

I can't think of anything odd about my installation. I did have problems with version 1.9.0 as my main file (carried over from 1.8) included several pdfs which had been edited and came through as passthrough but then crashed on export. But I solved that by removing and replacing the pdfs, and I don't see how that would affect my user preferences.

Renaming the ...Publisher\1.0 directory passes the trivial test, thank you. Publisher version is 1.9.1.979 Windows version is: Edition Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 Installed on ‎09/‎03/‎2021 OS build 19042.867 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0 Windows display language is English (United Kingdom) Publisher preference is English (United Kingdom). Zipped file of 1.0 directory (omitting crash reports) is attached 1.0 no crash reports.zip

Tried that. It still fails on Edit -> Preferences and on typing space.

I do have a deadline to meet, which will be a bit challenging to do without touching the space bar. Should I revert to 1.9.0, and do I need to uninstall 1.9.1 first?

Here you are. Files in that directory are all dated 28/12/2019, except for visibility_options.dat (dated 16/02/2021) and wc,dat (dated today) autocorrect.propcol

Edit -> Preferences fails as well. Dmp file attached. ad08578f-49c4-4cbf-9230-da9b33399020.dmp

Typing 'The ' and 'aaa ' and 'Key ' all fail. Can I turn off auto-correct?

Here are two. 7efe8fd6-ebf4-4b03-9b86-db9d712e11ba.dmp f296e0bb-382f-41ba-bb5e-467a327068ce.dmp

It fails with this much simpler file as well. Seems to be typing space that causes the problem. ONonepage.afpub

I have just installed v 1.9.1. I have a file (attached) which was edited using 1.9.0. If I create a text box and start typing into it, Publisher crashes immediately. Pasting text from (e.g.) a Word file seems OK. ONAdApr21.afpub

Apologies if this has been asked before. If someone sends me a graphics file, such as a jpeg, for placing in a Publisher file, but I need to make some changes in Photo (usually converting to black and white and adjusting the colour balance), is it better to place the afphoto file in Publisher or to re-export ad jpg and place the graphics file? And similarly for a pdf which needs tweaking in Designer? What are the trade-offs?

How do you mean re-link? In the Resource Manager, Update is not available. I can Replace the file with the original, which is then placed as the complete pdf and set to Passthrough. I can set to Interpret, crop and scale as required. If I do that with all the pdfs then I can export the file successfully. Here is one of the pdfs LivingSpace_0119.pdf

Not from vaultdweller, but I've sent you a file. I think the problem is is a pdf file which was placed linked under 1.8 and edited (cropped or scaled). The Layer/resources option shown passthrough checked but both options dimmed so it cannot be changed. I have reloaded all the offending pdfs and set to Interpret, and all is well.

I think there is another problem. In my existing file (which worked fine in Publisher 1.8) several of my linked pdfs have been cropped. On opening the file in 1.9, the Layer/resources option shows passthrough ticked but the options are dimmed and cannot be changed. I can replace the pdf (using Resource Manager) and then I can change the Layer/resources option to Interpret. I understand that Interpret is needed to avoid rasterisation if the pdf is edited at all, including clipping.

I have a Publisher document with many linked pdfs. With version 1.9, I now get preflight warnings that the pdf versions do not match, and attempting to export as pdf crashes the whole Publisher session. In the Export dialog, with pdf selected, clicking on More, to check what the export pdf version is, crashes the session as well.

Yes, that fixes it, thank you.

I have a Word file sent to me for adding to a Publisher file (testtext.docx). I saved the Word file as a pdf (testtext.pdf) and opened it in Publisher to move the images around (which I could not easily do in Word). I saved the AP file (texttest.afpub) and exported the file as a pdf (texttest2.pdf). The exported pdf appears correct when viewed in Adobe Acrobat. I created a Publisher file (testtext3.afpub) and placed the 3 files (texttest2.pdf, testtext.afpub and testtext.pdf). The second two files appeared correct when placed, but the first one (testtext2.pdf) appears to have character combinations tt and ti replaced by Č and Đ (010C and 0110). Opening the exported pdf (testtext2.pdf) in Publisher also shows the character replacements. testtext3.afpub texttest.afpub texttest.docx texttest.pdf texttest2.pdf

This is an area which I barely understand. The pdf 'for print' preset (which gives the error) has the colour space 'As document' and the ICC profile 'use document profile'. The pdf 'digital - high quality' preset (which does not give an error) has the colour space 'RGB' and the ICC profile 'sRGB...'. But I think that I tried setting both those properties in the pdf for print settings, and still got the error.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have narrowed the problem down to a single jpg, which I can export as a pdf with preset (digital- high quality) but not with preset (for print). I have compared the options for the two pdf export presets, and I cannot find one which makes the difference. For what it's worth, I think this problem only arose when I installed the latest version of Affinity Publisher (1.8.3.641). The workaround is obvious, but I would be interested to know if anyone else has seen this problem.

I have an afpub file which gives an error on exporting as pdf (for print). It is OK on exporting as pdf (digital- high quality). Any suggestions on how I can find out more about the error, and what the problem might be?

When I display the font size pulldown for character properties, the displayed list of sizes starts with the current size, so I have to scroll it to get to a smaller size. It would be better to display at least some values either side of the current size as, for example, the leading override pulldown does.

Very helpful. Would be even better if it were mentioned somewhere. In the Help, the only mention is, under Tools options: Choose whether the middle mouse button will allow scrolling or zooming. 'scrolling' is not the same as View Tool. Also, would it be possible to show the Hand cursor while the middle mouse button is pressed, to make it clear what is going on?

Going back to the progress bar - would be useful and I can't see it on my Microsoft PC.
