Thanks for your explanation, for me still stranger, as PDF common use in offset printing, if PDF change the color I could not imagine to many complain will be received the designer. I have attached the afpub file with change the color and still implement the gradient @same spot with Color Cast was Occurred, and now the color didn't missed it.

Thanks for your reply & advise, however why if export it to JPG, no color cast.? Please inform.

Just to revise for the RAM, it its better for at least 16 Gb

Please find enclosed the Affinity Publisher's file related to the color cast when exporting to PDF (if export to JPG, the color ok). Awaiting the advise and information. Thanks & B/regards, Translucent_Color.afpub

Yes correct, the font original from Adobe ID cannot use to another program, therefore when open it by Affinity Publisher will be subtitute.

If the IDML file was created from the different computer you have a Affinity Publisher you must to install the same font which a IDML file created, otherwise Affinity Publisher will subtitute the font when open it in your computer unless you install the same font.

If you wish the gradient color will tranform from Top to Bottom, you can do it another way: 1. Select the object you wish to gradient, 2. then select Gradient Tool, put the node from the top of object to bottom of object, now you have a gradient color from top to the bottom as you wish.

If you wish you can participate in Beta Tester for version 1.9, you can download via this forum. However this beta version not recommended for common use as just for testing purpose, please read on Beta Topic.

Now being beta testing, I think soon will be release.

Hello Marlin, The Bleed Color cannot customize with the existing version (ver 1.8.5), however with upcoming version (says 1.9) if I’m not wrong the bleed & margin color can customized in upcoming version of the Publisher, I hope also in the Designer.

Yo can download it from this address : https://store.serif.com/en-us/checkout/?basket=34e3f642854a0e27105794a8861f738244f50e5cb61bfa69 You just put the email address and create a account for your trial it, so far secure. Good luck

Probably false positive, I have a virus protection in my computer and didn't gave a warning so far, I downloaded a Affinity trial direct from Serif website. Please check with another AV if you wish.

The sample taken from InDesign.

Dear All, Today I got a phenomenon a Color Cast when export a document created by Affinity Publisher (1.8.5) to PDF for both color profile CMYK & RGB (both were set to PDF Print Ready) as per sample attached, however when export to JPG no color cast. Please advise how to solve this cast accordingly. Thanks & B/regards, Translucent Color_CMYK.pdf COLOR CAST PDF RGB.pdf

What I mean for concern to no.2, is the default setting for the default Unit for a document for i.e every I create a documents the Unit in Centimeter, I just sett the unit in Centimeter in Preference as a default, so I don't need every time create a document I should setting a unit on every create the document, this setting to practice it. As per sample attached. B/regards,

Yes let us see...for the coming update.

Thanks Walt for the information.

I find them too thick also for the text frame, difficult to select the word in the left corner of the top text frame and intefered with the dot handle, and look like a overlape text frame due too thick line.

As per Alfred suggestion you wish to ask the person who made a file to convert in PDF, so you can edit it latter by you. You can view the tutorial related to:
