I created a cookbook of 300 pages using Affinity Publisher. It looks great on Publisher. However I cannot export anything, other than PDF, that can vaguely be used by Kindle's KDP to create an eBook. I even tried taking the PDF and putting it through the program, Calibre, which says that it can convert PDF to EPUB and AZW3, which can theortically be used by Kindle to create an ebook. Unfortunately, the convert like "crap" Words run on, letters become unrecognizable and the Table of Contents is laughable. In other words of no use. I even tried converting the PDF to DOCX which is also acceptable to Kindle KDP. That was useless as well. I understand that Affintiy Publisher does not have any direct conversion to an acceptable format for Kindle, But does anyone have a real workable solution?

I created an affinity publisher cookbook. Each recipe is on a different page. Each page is a differnt section. Unfotunately I di dnot write the cookbook in alphabetical order. Now I would like to alphabetize the cookb ook. Any ideas other than brute moving of pages. (There are 300 pages in the cookbook.

I have a 300 page cookbook that I created in Affinity Publisher. It includes Images and text. Each recipe name is created as a Heading 1. The Table of Contents uses the Heading 1. The only export that I can use, it seems for Amazon KDP, that Publisher creates is PDF, although Amazon warns that PDF is not ideal for ebooks. It basically wants perfect ePUB. I created the PDF which looks good and the table of contents works. However when I download to Amazon. The entire book looks terrible. The table of contents aremushed together and are not on individual lines. Many words are run on. For example " Hot Cross Buns " comes out "HotCross Buns" and "how are you" may come out as "howareyou" or "how areyou" etc. Lists that in the PDF come out: 1. Cook for 30 minutes 2. Cool for another 15 minutes 3. Now serve on large plate comes out as "1. Cook for 30 minutes2. Cool for another 15 minutes 3. Now serve on large plate" I even tried taking the PDF and creating a Doc file in Calibre, but then the "Word" file is so corrupted from the conversion that it is unusable. Any ides on how we can actually use Affintiy Publisher to create Amazon KDP ebooks. This is used by many people, but appears to be useless when attempting to create the file for KDP.

I have had a similar problem importing PDFs. But I have overcome these using a suggestion from an expert on this forum. He said load the pdf into the free adobe pdf program and do nothing but save it again. This will give you a perfect pdf that is easily downloaded to your affinity publisher. I happened to have a copy of Wondershare PDFElement which I use to convert my WORD PDF files to PDF to publish my books on KDP Amazon. Without doing anything but uploading and downloading the pdf files I got perfect PDF's. Just a thought.

I have created multiple documents in Word that were converted to PDF through the word app on my desktop computer. I have never had problems getting them opened in Affinity Publisher, until the most recent update. Now it does open "most of the time" without a problem, but several different documents refused to open and I got the error statement sayign taht the file was not able to be opened by AP. So I sent the PDF file to "Wondershare" which is an app that converts to many formats and "converted" the file from "PDF" to "PDF." Now when I downloaded it to AP there was no problem. I tried looking at the various PDF's that I have recently attempted to open with AP and do not see a difference between those that do not open and those that do. Again I never had this problem with all the previous updates and I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem could be.

For whatever reason, in one of my documents, the text box starts entering text on the bottom of the box. If I enter enough characters to start a new line it types right over (or under) the previous line typed. How do I change this to type from top to bottom of box.

I have been having the same problem with Affinity Publisher. I get the same warning and then the program closes on it's own. I will be following this to see what the answer is from the Affinity team

They are all in one folder on my computer. I have to download all of these to a new AP document with 200 empty pages. What is the easiest way to do this?

I have created a coloring book with 100 pages. I would like to move all 50 on the odd pages .25 inches towards the spine of the book. Is there a way to do this all at one time. For example Select image on odd pages, then go to transform and move them all? Just hoping that there is some way to do this rather than one at a time.

Just one possibility. This has happened to me a number of times. I finally realized, at least in my case that the program will not fihish and you ill get that "failed to load" message if you have your pdf reader still open with the same program open that you are trying to download. Once I closed the PDF reader, in my case "Nitro Pro" it loaded successfully.

When do you use the different Export presets such as: print, press ready, digital -small size, digital-high quality, for export, flattern, X-1a2003, 3:2003, x-4, and include bookmarks. I did not see this in the online manual or the book.

When exporting to PDF there are multiple presets present. These include for print, press ready, digital -small size, digital-high quality, for export, flattern, X-1a2003, 3:2003, x-4, include bookmarks. Is there something in the Affinity publisher manual or book that describes each and when to use them.? I created a 400 page cookbook in Word and imported it into affinity Publisher. I then made a lot of changes to the document in Affinity Publisher, but found that Kindle KDP takes the PDf for publishing the Paperback version but NOT the ebook version. It would rather take epub, or mobi, or even DOCX. It is too late for me to revert to the word document as I made the mistake of making a lot of the changes in affinity publisher and can no longer use the original word doc to send to Kindle to publish the eBook. The pocketbook has been published and looks great. Any hints on which Preset I could use to make the PDF so that I can convert it to ePUB or back to Docx in Word without getting a terrible cpnversion. I have tried converting from the PDF using multiple programs including Calibre which are so bad that it would take days to fix all the changes that the conversions made. Anyway please tell me what all those presets are good for. Thank you

The name of this Affinity publisher includes the word publisher. I have been told in another forum here that AP is not good for Kdp. Since so many publish ebooks and print books through Amazon Kindle Kdp services I suggest that AP export to EPUB, Filtered HTML and MOBI. Right now you only have PDF, but Kindle does a poor job with PDF and Kindle does not recommend it's use for ebooks.

I created a file in Microsoft Word. It includes text and many JPG images. The book is around 400 pages. I would like to import either one (they are the same book. I created the PDF from the Word Doc file) into an empty 400 pg Affinity Publisher document. That Affinity Publisher document was created to conform to KDF standards with several master pages. Right now all of the pages are blank and are based on the original Master Page A which has the appropriate text boxes on them. I originally tried just to download the pdf to Affinity publisher but it only yields it's own text boxes that do not conform to the ones I need. I tried placing the file on the template that I made but with no success. What am I doing wrong and what is teh best way to do this correctly?

Click on the first page then move to the last page of the group that you want to move and SHift click. This will highlight all the pages that you wish to move
