[Editable PDFs]

Hi C,

Thanks for responding. I couldn't find a response on other threads so hopefully other people with the same wish will see this and know not to hold out any hope.

Cheers,

[Editable PDFs]

Does anyone know if editable PDFs using Affinity Publisher is ever likely to happen? I've been holding out, but how many more years do I hold out???? I don't need to create editable PDFs often, but often enough that if its never going to happen with Affinity, then I'll spend my money on something I don't have to wait any longer for. A heads up would be great - there appears to be a no answer policy to this question which is really frustrating.

[Workbook and Tutorial Feedback]

Not having a digital version of the workbooks is really annoying. I'm from an older demographic (sad fact, but we do exist) so based on other comments I've read about the Workbooks, I would need to purchase a magnifyer to read the small text. For all those lucky young eyes out there, you too will one day reach this point! A hard cover tutorial book, like a hard cover recipe book is impossible to manage hands free on a flat surface without breaking the binding. Maybe Affinity could package a book holder with each workbook? Buying one is just an extra expense. I work 'on the road' and the last thing I want to tote around is a big heavy book, or three. Perhaps I should also mention limited desk space already taken up with two monitors. I suppose the problem is that Affinity knows a digital version will get shared around for free, but so what? Is providing the means for people to learn your products entirely about profit? You already supply free video tuts. Password protecting a digital file will inhibit most of that. Surely Affinity have access to coders or can factor one into the price to write a program which applies a unique password to each digital file sold?  Yes, I know you have a repository of tool/function documents. These are great when you know the terminology or the name of the tool required for what you are seeking to achieve. Otherwise you don't find them. So, I'm not going to buy any of the books, and now I'm forced to watch endless video tuts with no transcripts which is equally annoying since I can read faster than someone can talk. When reading a transcript I can save many minutes by skipping over the introductory waffle to get to the meat of the tutorial. The ideal is to have both video AND transcript. Affinity - you have great products, but learning them is far too time-consuming. Please consider digital workbooks and text tutorials. I would happily pay.

[Affinity Photo Updates NOT through App Store]

I purchased Affinity Photo direct through Affinity and not through the App Store.

 

The version I have is 1.4.2.

 

I cannot find any information anywhere, either within the App or on the Affinity website, or this Forum, what the latest version should be, if not 1.4.2. Nor can I find any information which explains how I need to update. 

 

Are updates automatic? Does one have to download them from somewhere? Will the App tell me if an update is required? 

 

It would be really useful if this kind of information was displayed somewhere - at least somewhere I don't have to spend half an hour searching for and then resort to asking a question in the Forum.

 

I would be grateful if some kind person can de-mystify the updating process for me, and answer all relevant questions.
