I have also been a user of all products in the Affinity suite since the first release of Photo. I have always found the products be very stable (Mac versions) but the latest version of Publisher is driving me mad with constant crashes (usually when working with documents that use linked files). Unfortunately I removed earlier versions of the programs to avoid any conflicts, so have no option of reverting. ☹️

I agree that it is a strange one. It just seems weird that I only have problems with jobs that are created in AFP, even if the pdfs created are imported to inDesign and new pdfs created from there. The fact that the pdfs look fine, with the problem only occurring at the print stage, makes it impossible to guarantee the job will be ok. ☹️

Files uploaded. PDF looks fine but pages 11&12 are shifted up several mm when printed. I have also attached a shot of the centre spread (pages 12 & 13) which shows that this is not a guillotine error post printing. The issue seems to happen randomly with almost every booklet I send to Route One Print.

I have been using Route One Print for event booklets for several years without problems, but since changing from inDesign to Affinity Publisher I often find that some pages have been printed several mm out of position (always shifted downwards). The online proofs look fine. I cannot see any element common to the shifted pages, and it only occurs with PDFs created in Publisher. I have even recreated the booklet in inDesign using the PDF files from Publisher, then output a new PDF file from inDesign - the problem persists. Has anybody else had this problem when supplying pdf files to commercial printers?
