Just to support thomaso 's topic, I would also like to add that I'm generating magazine from publisher to PDF.
They have a lot of photos in (You can see an example here : https://issuu.com/paoproduction/docs/cnc-bilan-2020-issu ).
What I did :
Ask my printer for PDF version and colour profile (actually PDF 1.5 (Acrobat 6) - Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) )
- Generate the PDF
- Check it with PACKZVIEW (with this app, you can check colour by layers CMYB and see if everythings fit with your need (example, Texts in Black only)
- Send the PDF to the printer
I never had an issu using this way...

For your information : 1 years later, I still meet this problem on version 2.3.1 of Affinity Publisher - Mac OS.

@Catshill tip works, but I'm not sure this is THE solution
- It should simply not happens, don't you think so ?

If you are with Mac OS, follow that link :

Hi Affinity teams and users...
I began my job before computer (yes I know, that makes me a dinosaur
)
At that time, I had an editing technique (photogravure and offset editing) that I really liked. I lost it with the arrival of computers in our profession to have this kind of epileptic gesticulation instead.
Added today Apple announces the arrival of the Apple Vision Pro and I see there the possibility of finding a gesture more interesting than this shaking of the mouse.
In short, all this to ask if you ever considered lending your software to this new working tool? I know it's probably a big chunk, but just to know if it would be possible, even in the distant future? Thanks in advance for considering this old dinausor paper who plan to work for a few more years, so...

This is still a known issue logged with our developers it should hopefully be fixed soon. I'll update this thread once I get any more info.
Hi Guys ! This issue is still here and it is really not easy to work with that! Could please consider that bloc text can be selected ONLY when cliking on the bloc text and not on the line height of the text ? This would be really great !

Hi Alfred, thanks a lot for your fast feedback :-)
You rock's!

Hi guy's from Serif.
Sorry to ask this here, but what is the font you use on this image (https://affinity.serif.com/fr/publisher/#top)
Thanks by advance for the info

@Mariusz_F I agree with point 1 : Using tab to modify value in crop tool is weird. This issue is also in other apps of the suite, but sorry i had this issue this morning and can remember in which app for which window.

What about merging documents with Numbers (Apple) files ?
Is that not you that say "Ultimate compatibility. Want to work with other file formats?" in your ads ?

Good luck! 😉
I get a regular key @IndigoMoon! Do not ask me how : I just don't know
And I can tell ya : A good alternative to Adobe Acrobat, at least for what I need : checking the colors layers before sending to the printer.

I've requested a product key
Hi @IndigoMoon, thanks for the tip. I have just tried for a key too. Waiting for the answer

Go to Find/Format/Font and in Font Family, choose Missing fonts instead of All fonts. Then it's possible to select the missing font to replace with your updated font.
Thank you so much for this tip @Pedrober, i was so much looking for a solution!
Actually I don't understand why it is not the Font Manager which handle this. Any idea ?

Hi @Chris B, thank you very much.
I will wait for your feedback with devs then.

Hi, I'm using the "Export" dialog from Photo a lot. FOr my Web jobs.
But the "Export" dialog box has a strange behaviour that is very annoying... When I "Save" or "Save as" a picture, there's no issue : I can catch and move my dialog box, i can resize it and "Finder-click" from "Default folder" is working very well (cool, because this is a very helpful tool). But as soon as I'm using the "Export" dialog box, all of this feature are not working anymore.
You can have a look at my sceencast, it is probably more specific

The best one is by my opinion PDF Xchange Editor. Full Acrobat functionality, or even with more functions. Really recommended. And incredibly cheap comparing to Adobe Acrobat.
Hi Boris thanks for suggestion,
Do you know if you can check colors layers with this (CMYK) ? I had a look at the link but did not find any info about this point.
It's a shame it is not Mac OS compatible

I find this question interesting for different purpose. In Publisher i.e. :
- When I re-instal affinity product on a new device, so I can export my sets or keep the file where they are store,
- I could have different set : when I work on a book, when I work on PDF file, etc...
So, saving sets and restore them could be really time saver...
-
I confirm ! Same for WebP... Any news about that ?
-
I have already used the "alt" + Add to get around this issu (and not only on curves letters). It works for me so I can wait for the fix with patience :-)
-
Yeah ! Cool! Thanks for that "counter-intuitive" tip, @Old Bruce ! :-)

Hmm, just checked this, and at least here they state that it runs under Catalina
My fault, i was on FontLab 5 page ! :-)
As I find this app a bit expensive, i have given a try to TranType demo (as you suggested in your update above). I could convert my Industria Font to TTF and use it then in Designer without any problem. I even test a PDF generation, and it works very well.
So the solution I will keep is that one : As Type 1 font are becoming really obsolete, I will buy TransType just tested (under Catalina with success :-) so I can convert all my 30 years old fonts stock (one by one, as needed of course).
But thank you very much to both of you...
-
Just to tell you that i still follow this topic, even if I find that it becomes really very specific
BTW, I wanted this morning purchase FontLab, but it is specified that it does not work under Catalina (Sacrebleu. !)
As I think that the final solution would be to convert my old fonts, does anyone know another app to do that, working on Catalina ?

Out of curiosity, It was you who zipped the file attached to your post or got it somewhere already zipped?
Hi @MEB, i zip it myself... Have any trouble with it ?
Here's a DropBox link to have it uncompresed...

I have macOS Mojave. Have you experienced these kinds of problems when using this font, or any of your PostScript fonts on macOS (Catalina or earlier) when using Affinity Publisher?
Hi @Lagarto,
Hey ! Thanks for your time spent here
Actually I have sometime that exactly same kind of issue. I then have to quit and restart my computer. Usually, I can then export my PDF.
I think I can deduce that it comes from the font... (I thought first it was coming from Acrobat reader, or the Affinity PDF engin, or something like that...)
-
@MEB FICHTRE ! hahaha
That's great for you. OK then...
Any idea if it is possible that it comes from my Font manager ? Or Mojave/Catalina ?
But you must know that actually I have tried to manage THAT font with Mac OS X core font manager OR FontAgent Pro, and could not have any result.

Hi @Shelly
I'm usually using this tool to vectorize picture : https://www.vectorizer.io/
Then I get My SVG on which I'm working on Publisher. Here's what your picture give in SVG with that tool :
