Catherine M Evans reacted to carl123 in APublisher - repeat actions
Not sure if I understand exactly what you want to do
But see if the attached, master page fields do what you want on the individual pages

Catherine M Evans reacted to Old Bruce in APublisher - repeat actions
Don't adapt, cheat. I placed a text frame on the Left Master page and stretched it over to the right page. It has two Page # place holders which will give you the page number only from the Left page.
Here is a modified version of day.afpub from @carl123.

Catherine M Evans reacted to Schubi63 in Feature request: repeat last command
Dear developer,
thanks for your Affinity Suite in general. I use all 3 products of Affinity Suite.
But I am again and again missing a function I know from other apps (Maya, Corel,...) >>> "repeat last command" <<<
It would include whatever function(command) is called last (move, scale, tint, align...copy, remove...)
For example: I aligned 2 objects to the right side. With that action in mind, I select 2 other objects, which also need to be aligned to the right side >>> repeat last <<< done via shortcut saves so much time and prevents remembering where the menu was and moving your eyes away from the objects you are modifying currently. More focused work.
PS: I found 3 years old post/request for that feature. That's why I started this new post, hoping it will push this "idea" which just saves time in the workflow

Catherine M Evans reacted to gdenby in Drawing Iterative Loops with breaks
Do you know about the so-called "power duplicate" method?
Here's a loop sample I made up in a couple of minutes. I started w. a tear shape, converted it to curves, broke the curve at the tip, and repositioned the nodes, one up and to the left, the other down and to the right. Drew some circles along the line. Grouped all, and used "duplicate." Moved the group off to the side, scales constrained around center, and lined the ends of the loops. Repeated the duplication, which carries forward the translation and scaling. The group could also have been changed into a symbol, and have the same power duplicate. That would allow one to make changes to elements of all the symbol instances at once.

Absolutely, this sort of feature would help a lot selling more Publisher licences !!

being able to export pdfs with form elements would be amazing!

We need this feature please. Interactive pdf is a game changer

Catherine M Evans reacted to crapserK in Feature Request: Interactive PDF
I've been trying to find a way to create a fillable form using Affinity Publisher and haven't been able to find anything. As I create a lot of PDFs that are intended to be filled out by other people (invitations, applications, resumes etc). I would like to be able to make certain fields editable; for people to change names, dates etc. Is this something that will be coming to Publisher at any point? If not, are there any third party programs that would allow me to create a file in Affinity Publisher and then make it editable/interactive so I can still do my work?

Catherine M Evans reacted to v_kyr in Colour profiles
Uncoated in this sense means the print media (paper) isn't gloss, matte, satin or has any other coating. Coated instead means the paper type has some coating. - Professional printer services often use their specific paper/media types and thus have and offer the right color profiles to use for paper types. - Some generic color profiles are world region standard dependent, meaning are then more common and general for print service usages in certain areas of the world (Japan Color 2001, U.S. Web Coated etc.).

Catherine M Evans reacted to Chris26 in Colour profiles
Hallo catherine, yes, a printer should tell you which CMYK profile he is using and then you only have to soft-proof your RGB iages with that profile to see what may need adjusting or tweaking. I edit my RGB images, I then make a copy (because I need to keep the original with all layers in tact and the copy I willadjust specially for sending to the printer), so with the copy, I soft proof, I see that the cmyk soft proof dulls my yellows, so I brighten them up - and Send that one away. As far as default cmyk values are concerned I never deal with these and I hope that somebody else can answer this for you. There are many here on the forum who are experts on CMYK, I am afraid I know only the very basics - literally.
The best profile to attach to your images will be the s"RGB, not adobe RGB1998. There are no alternatives here because you will never know what home printer they are using, and neither to which printer they are sending them. This is out of your control. All responsible outside printers will accept images in s'RGB regardless of which CMYK print profile they use.
One last thing, all home printers, regardless of whether they are two ink or 13 ink are essentially RGB printers, not cmyk printers. This sounds contradictory, they print with physical C M Y and black ink yes, BUT, they receive RGB data from your computer, this is what they are designed and programmed to do, receive RGB information and translate that into the 4 ink colours. Just an added note to clarify any confusion here.

Catherine M Evans reacted to BofG in Colour profiles
As you don't know who will be printing your files or on what device, you should just keep to sRGB. Any CMYK space will be "smaller" than your original, and they are not all equal, so if you pick one and the customer then has it printed somewhere that uses a different profile there will be further loss of colour compared to the original.

Home Printer: Always use an RGB profile, if you have a 6 ink or above printer then it can handle Adobe RGB 16 bit. If it is a cheap printer then stick with s'RGB always. If uploading to a digital website where others might print your works, then stay in RGB, never convert to CMYK or assign CMYK. I can give you all the reasons behind this, but I want to keep this short and simple for you at the moment. Hope this helps. ALL home printers, even 9 ink printers have to have images in RGB, the printer does the conversion very successfully to its CMYK, you do not have to bother with that. The only other thing is make sure you have a colour managed routine, if you have specific paper profiles with your printer and you have that particular paper then do not forget to assign it. This is all for now, any questions please ask away..
As far as sending your work to a professional printer always ask him for an ICC profile so that you may softproof your image with the colour profile that he will be printing. He should send you the CMYK profile by name and hopefully you will have that profile already in affinity. Some printers that I have used will send me their specific unique ICC profile that I can then add to my list so that I may compare (through soft proofing) my RGB edited and finished Image with the colour profile that they will use .

Just stick with the default sRGB as in the "For print" templates you highlighted.
There's absolutely no point using CMYK if you are directly printing to your printer as Affinity doesn't support sending CMYK print data.

Catherine M Evans reacted to v_kyr in Colour profiles
Well the most common widely used color profile, as you may already have read elsewhere about color management, is sRGB. That one offers a color spectrum (gamut) most monitor (screen) devices support and are capable of showing up (no matter if common computer screens, smartphones, tablets, the Web browsers etc.).
For home printing with casual home printers (Canon, Epson ink printers etc.) those printers printer drivers usually handle a right conversion from the sRGB -> to -> CMYK color spectum, meaning your Affinity document when setup as an sRGB profile document, will be mostly treated correctly by home printers then and printed due to their drivers CMYK color auto-conversion. -- In case of some better home or photo printer, or as with professional printers and printing services, these mostly assume a documents color data to be defined in a CMYK color space (gamut), thus a Affinity document setup to use a CMYK profile.
