I spent some time trying to understand why it wouldn't limit the print to the pixel selection; finally realized it meant "Selected layer". Wish it just said that.

Let me also put in a request for this; Markdown has become my preferred authoring language.

I opened a file, edited it some, added an adjustment layer, saved it. Now I can't resize it. Why would this be?

Yesterday, I tried to use the "Range" selection in the "Print" dialog box to print only selected pixels. It didn't work, and I couldn't figure out why. User carl123 helpfully explained that it was probably a range of layers, rather than a pixel selection. "Range" is used in many different ways in Affinity Photo so the menu is ambiguous. Could you-folk change the English and American menu options to "All Layers" and "Selected Layers"? That eliminates the ambiguity and would have saved me some frustration.

Thanks, everyone. What I ended up doing is using tiling, which for my purposes did the job. Carl123, thanks for the explanation. Serif Engineering, if you're listening, could you change the language of the English version of the dialog box? The word "range" is used in many different contexts in Affinity Photo, and its use in the print dialog box is ambiguous to native English and American users. Perhaps make the pulldown options "All Layers" and "Selected Layers"? (I will be following up with a post to the feedback forums.)

I just tried to print part of an image using a rectangular marquee selection and "Range: Selection" in the Print dialog box. Nothing I do seem to actually let me do it – it always tries to print the whole page. Am I doing the wrong sort of selection? Or…? MacOS 12.0.1 (Monterey.) Affinity Photo 1.10.4.

What Old Bruce said - check to make sure your PDF reader is showing you the document outline, not the thumbnails. For the sake of clarification, if anyone cares, thumbnails, the document outline, and bookmarks are all PDF navigation methods. Confusingly, document outline entries are sometimes called "bookmarks," but they are actually two different things.

Thanks!

Ooof! My apologies. Yes, that was an error on my part. I have corrected the original post.

Done. Thanks for the quick reply.

Finding a word using "match whole word only" is confused by colons. If you search for "word" using "match whole word only" and "word:" appears in the document it will not be found. Apparently the ":" (and perhaps other characters) are not counted as punctuation. Affinity Publisher 1.8.6, MacOS 10.14.6

Thanks. They're the ones called out in the Font Manager, which flags fonts that contain them as having unsupported characters. After some experimentation, I found that the Font Manager's "locate" function can find them, so that they can be replaced and that is what I did.

"Locate" in the font manager will find them; the regular find command doesn't.

(Second, hopefully more clueful version.) Continuing in my "put out a new PDF version of this big thick book" project, I have gotten the fonts all licensed and cleaned up, found and fixed out-of-date links, and I'm about ready to make a releasable PDF of this thing. So. I want to create a PDF outline for the document. Apparently, there is some support for this with automatically generated tables of contents, but the book already has a table of contents, and it would be a huge amount of work to recreate it. Is there any way I can manually generate an outline?
