It looks like there is no way to create a PDF with bookmarks? There is no UI for bookmarks in the Export...PDF dialogs, nor are there any bookmarks in a PDF when an AP document with Anchors is exported.
Seems like creating an "Index" doesn't do anything with PDF bookmarks, too.
Since many printed publications are also used as PDFs available online (online increasing,  printed decreasing), I'd recommend to add a feature to add bookmarks to PDF files exported from AP.
Win10, AP 1.7.0.249

I think it is worth mentioning that now with that Publisher has shipped with Studio Link enabled, you can just go to the Photo persona and use the Channels panel to check your separations. For some reason, page/spread borders disappear, but it's still a viable workaround. You need Affinity Photo installed in order for this to work.

A designer specializing in layout work who doesn't know or care about separations is an expensive accident waiting to happen. Black RGB text that prints blurry, or black text at 7pt that's not set to overprint, or images with an RGB black background which auto-separates into rich black that are placed inside a CMYK K-only black rectangle in the hope of it looking seamless – the client is not going to be happy.
I routinely check anything that goes to print in separations preview, and one out of three times, I spot a last-minute problem that needs to be fixed. Partly this is because of idiosyncrasies of InDesign's quirky transparency flattener, but still, it's an important step in any software that helps you prevent costly situations like re-printing 500 000 copies of a document because you missed a very small but very stupid problem.
While in my opinion not absolutely essential for a 1.0 release (a software like Acrobat can be used to check the PDFs if need be), it's definitely far from just a "nice to have" feature.

Overprinting objects or knockout them is important. And you should be able to control this in a preview. Oh, you can do this in a PDF in ... Acrobat Pro. 

Hi all,
I just played around with AP, but I can not figure out where the settings are for Trapping, Knockout, or a Separation preview. Do I miss something?
 
Thanks
