Hi @GarryP I mean a button that links to another page within the same PDF. Not a both “button” and a “link”.

Hi, Is there a way to change the color of a button/link when active? i.e. I created a button using a rectangle. The button is red in normal state and I want it to be blue in active state (when the user is on the page the link is pointing to) Thanks!

Hi, Is there a feature to create diagonal lines inside table cells? And if not, what would be a simple work around? Thanks!

Hi, I know there are older threads about this, but is it possible to add editable fields to PDF files in the meantime? Thanks!

Hi, Is it possible to lock the PDF when exporting it so it cannot be edited by the end user? Thanks!

Hi, how can I save images in next-gen formats (JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP) using Affinity Photo? Thanks!

Hi, Is there a way to link all titles in a document (same text style) to the table of contents in one go (without manually linking each title individually)? Thanks!

Thank you @Lagarto You are right, I was viewing it in the Preview app. So I installed Adobe Acrobat and the PDF viewed there looks identical the original. I would have never thought there's a difference between programs in the way they reproduce colors on screen. How do I do that? I always copy the HEX codes, but I have a feeling that's not the way I should be doing it now... 😬

Thanks! I've assigned another shortcut and the shortcut is working now. I'll have to see about the guides if they keep disappearing or not now.

No Nope, it's cmd; I'm using a Mac.

It says cmd; in View >> Show guides But when I do cmd; the Preferences window opens instead... Although when I go to Affinity Publisher > Preferences it says the shortcut for Preferences is cmd,

Sure! I've attached a file with what's what. The colors might be close, but the general feeling of the page is totally different. This is just a small detail. The PDF colors are somewhat warmer or something, as the blue becomes more green, the pink more orange, the purple more grey...

Hi, whenever I design a document in Published using the CMYK format then export it in PDF format with the Color space 'same as document' selected and the same color profile as the document, the colors of the PDF are slightly different. What am I missing? I understand the colors might look a bit different in print. But I'd like the PDF to have the same colors and tones I use in the Publisher file. Otherwise I'm designing blindly. My files don't have any images. It's all about table cell colors, shape colors, etc. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

All I've had so far starting with whichever version was before 1.9.0 up to 1.9.2. I have MacOs Catalina. I haven't noticed a pattern. They just disappear, sometimes only seconds after I activate them, as soon as I scroll, for example. Other times they stay active for a while. It's really weird.

Hi! How can I make the guides stay on until I turn them off? Right now they keep on disappearing and I have to go to View and click Show guides over and over again. The shortcut isn't working either probably because my keyboard is a bit different.

I'm not sure I understand what this means. I'm not printing the afpub. I'm printing the exported PDF using either Adobe Acrobat or the Preview app or something else. Also, I need the colors of the PDF to be as close as possible to the printed colors...

Thanks you so much, @Lagarto

@Lagarto Thanks, that's very helpful. One more question though 😬 When I go to Document setup > Color > Color format, there's no sRGB option. Only RGB/8, RGB/16, RGB/32 (HDR), Grey, CMYK and LAB... Where can I select sRGB?

Thanks @Alfred. I'm actually doing this for a client who will print on a larger sheet then cut by hand. So trim marks help in this case. But I also want to know the answer to the above for myself so I can understand if I can scale this and how can I use it for future clients.

Thanks @Lagarto. Would this (using sRGB mode) also apply if I were to go and print the PDF in a print shop? And by that I mean a normal print shop with a good quality (bigger, more professional) printer, not the type of printer that's used for books.

Hi! I've just noticed the option to add printer marks (crop marks in particular) when exporting a PDF. How exactly do crop marks work and what's their purpose? Can they be activated/deactivated once the PDF is exported? Do they show up in print? When I export a PDF with the 'Include crop marks' box checked, I see that the resolution of the file changes (the file becomes bigger). But I'm not sure how this translates in print since I don't have a printer nor the option to go to a print shop right now.

Hi, I'm designing a PDF for print (regular home printing, not press). The afpub document's color format is set to CMYK. What color profile should I use? I tried both Web Coated FOGRA28 and Coated FOGRA 27 with the 'Convert' setting on, but when I export the file to PDF, the colors are slightly different. The export settings are: Color space > as document Profile > Use document profile Plus I have selected - Embed profiles, Convert images to color space, Honor spot colors, Overprint black.

Thanks, @Lagarto So I managed to change the global color of the stops for table frames, but only if I define the gradient stops for each table in particular. However, if I want to apply a predefined gradient to a table frame, the color doesn't change, in spite of the fact that when I select any of the stops the global color attributed to it also gets selected in the swatches panel. I work with gradients that have 5 stops or more. Redoing the gradient and placing the stops exactly where they should be every time I add a table it's a chore. But maybe I'm missing something? 🤔

Thank you @Old Bruce for all your help and my apologies for coming back to this but I'm still struggling to create gradients that can be updated by simply changing the global color. I managed to create the gradient as instructed and the stop colors change when the global colors are modified but only when the gradient is applied to shapes (like the rectangle tool). When I apply it to a table frame or a table row and change one of the global colors that form the gradient, no change takes place. Is it possible that changing gradient global stop colors works for shapes only and not for tables?

Hi! I've just updated to 1.9.2. Where can I find what's new in this version? Thanks!
