  1. If title and subtitle are of two different styles in the article, you can include both in the TOC and set 2 different TOC styles for them. (And if subtitle is not the same text as what's in the article, create a text frame for it in the article and make it invisible, but reference its style in the TOC).
  2. I eventually made a spreadsheet in Apple Numbers to calculate the succession of page numbers to paste in Affinity print or export dialogs. For example, if you want to print 153 pages in signatures, if you add 7 empty pages to your document (160 pages), then you could print it as: — 5 signatures of 32 pages (inserting 8 sheets printed recto-verso and folded in-folio, i.e. 4 pages each, make up a booklet): For a duplex printer (print '2 per page'): 32, 1, 2, 31, 30, 3, 4, 29, 28, 5, 6, 27, 26, 7, 8, 25, 24, 9, 10, 23, 22, 11, 12, 21, 20, 13, 14, 19, 18, 15, 16, 17, 64, 33, 34, 63, 62, 35, 36, 61, 60, 37, 38, 59, 58, 39, 40, 57, 56, 41, 42, 55, 54, 43, 44, 53, 52, 45, 46, 51, 50, 47, 48, 49, 96, 65, 66, 95, 94, 67, 68, 93, 92, 69, 70, 91, 90, 71, 72, 89, 88, 73, 74, 87, 86, 75, 76, 85, 84, 77, 78, 83, 82, 79, 80, 81, 128, 97, 98, 127, 126, 99, 100, 125, 124, 101, 102, 123, 122, 103, 104, 121, 120, 105, 106, 119, 118, 107, 108, 117, 116, 109, 110, 115, 114, 111, 112, 113, 160, 129, 130, 159, 158, 131, 132, 157, 156, 133, 134, 155, 154, 135, 136, 153, 152, 137, 138, 151, 150, 139, 140, 149, 148, 141, 142, 147, 146, 143, 144, 145 Or if you print all the front pages at once (print '2 per page'), then flip the stack and print the back pages: Front: 32, 1, 30, 3, 28, 5, 26, 7, 24, 9, 22, 11, 20, 13, 18, 15, 64, 33, 62, 35, 60, 37, 58, 39, 56, 41, 54, 43, 52, 45, 50, 47, 96, 65, 94, 67, 92, 69, 90, 71, 88, 73, 86, 75, 84, 77, 82, 79, 128, 97, 126, 99, 124, 101, 122, 103, 120, 105, 118, 107, 116, 109, 114, 111, 160, 129, 158, 131, 156, 133, 154, 135, 152, 137, 150, 139, 148, 141, 146, 143 Back: 2, 31, 4, 29, 6, 27, 8, 25, 10, 23, 12, 21, 14, 19, 16, 17, 34, 63, 36, 61, 38, 59, 40, 57, 42, 55, 44, 53, 46, 51, 48, 49, 66, 95, 68, 93, 70, 91, 72, 89, 74, 87, 76, 85, 78, 83, 80, 81, 98, 127, 100, 125, 102, 123, 104, 121, 106, 119, 108, 117, 110, 115, 112, 113, 130, 159, 132, 157, 134, 155, 136, 153, 138, 151, 140, 149, 142, 147, 144, 145 — If you prefer 10 × 16 pages signatures (inserting 4 sheets folded in-folio): Duplex: 16, 1, 2, 15, 14, 3, 4, 13, 12, 5, 6, 11, 10, 7, 8, 9, 32, 17, 18, 31, 30, 19, 20, 29, 28, 21, 22, 27, 26, 23, 24, 25, 48, 33, 34, 47, 46, 35, 36, 45, 44, 37, 38, 43, 42, 39, 40, 41, 64, 49, 50, 63, 62, 51, 52, 61, 60, 53, 54, 59, 58, 55, 56, 57, 80, 65, 66, 79, 78, 67, 68, 77, 76, 69, 70, 75, 74, 71, 72, 73, 96, 81, 82, 95, 94, 83, 84, 93, 92, 85, 86, 91, 90, 87, 88, 89, 112, 97, 98, 111, 110, 99, 100, 109, 108, 101, 102, 107, 106, 103, 104, 105, 128, 113, 114, 127, 126, 115, 116, 125, 124, 117, 118, 123, 122, 119, 120, 121, 144, 129, 130, 143, 142, 131, 132, 141, 140, 133, 134, 139, 138, 135, 136, 137, 160, 145, 146, 159, 158, 147, 148, 157, 156, 149, 150, 155, 154, 151, 152, 153 Or if you print it in two steps, manually flipping the stack: Front: 16, 1, 14, 3, 12, 5, 10, 7, 32, 17, 30, 19, 28, 21, 26, 23, 48, 33, 46, 35, 44, 37, 42, 39, 64, 49, 62, 51, 60, 53, 58, 55, 80, 65, 78, 67, 76, 69, 74, 71, 96, 81, 94, 83, 92, 85, 90, 87, 112, 97, 110, 99, 108, 101, 106, 103, 128, 113, 126, 115, 124, 117, 122, 119, 144, 129, 142, 131, 140, 133, 138, 135, 160, 145, 158, 147, 156, 149, 154, 151 Back: 2, 15, 4, 13, 6, 11, 8, 9, 18, 31, 20, 29, 22, 27, 24, 25, 34, 47, 36, 45, 38, 43, 40, 41, 50, 63, 52, 61, 54, 59, 56, 57, 66, 79, 68, 77, 70, 75, 72, 73, 82, 95, 84, 93, 86, 91, 88, 89, 98, 111, 100, 109, 102, 107, 104, 105, 114, 127, 116, 125, 118, 123, 120, 121, 130, 143, 132, 141, 134, 139, 136, 137, 146, 159, 148, 157, 150, 155, 152, 153 — It's also possible to make 3 sigs of 24 pages and 3 sigs of 28 pages (total=156 pages) so there are only 3 empty pages to add (156 pages instead 160)…
  3. Once the table is created, before changing the font, you need to: Deselect the text cursor placed inside the first cell, Select the whole table with the Move tool (an easy way to do this is double-click outside of the page to have the Move tool, then click on the table), Change the font. This way, it will apply to all cells. Enregistrement de l’écran 2025-02-11 à 16.42.26.m4v
  4. Since it's a scan (bitmap image), you don't need to embed it in a complex format as PDF. Have you tried to save your scans as PNG or TIFF?
  5. I'm sorry, my screenshot was not explicit enough as it gave no clue about this. Actually, it was well an .afdesign file opened in Designer [I use the light interface to distinguish AD from APub], but I see the dialog is not the same for each such file — so perhaps the file I used started its life in Publisher? (I don't remember…) Whatever, the same option is also present for another .afdesign file, this time "genuine" guaranteed, still opened in Designer but it's not presented the same way: — BTW, I notice these 2 types of dialogs for Document setup also don't behave the same from an UI point of view: First dialog (Publisher alike) is movable and when I take a window screenshot (⌘⇧4, followed by space bar ␣) only the dialog is selected The 2nd one is unmovable and the background window is always included in a windowed screenshot (compare the round angles of the windowed screenshots vs. the square angles of a manual selection). This different behaviour is possibly a programmation inconsistence (one appears to be a window and the other a dialog).
  6. Do you mean something else than the portrait/landscape orientation commands, under the Dimensions fields?
  7. Could it be that's because you inserted the TOC twice? 🤔 If so, select and delete the unneeded TOC.
  8. In case it helps you, there is an option in the System settings > Accessibility that enlarges locally the view when I alt-click somewhere, as a magnifier lens can do.
  9. Thanks @MikeTO. I'm not sure to understand how your file is built. Would you still have your sample document to post it here in complement to your screenshot above?
  10. I don't know if "Generic Gray Gamma 2.2" is the same as the above "Gray Gamma 2.2"? I agree it 's a display profile but it has well a tone response curve — and Lulu seems OK with sRGB profiles which are also display profiles. My question is more: why PDF/X?
  11. One more thing… I overlooked this: which seems in contradiction with these recommandations: What About Bits/Channel And Other Settings? If you want to get really technical about it, then you should make sure your file has 8 Bits/Channel in its color profile. This reduces the file size and complexity, which makes it go through our system much more easily. Many designers prefer to use 16 Bits/Channel, but this may cause unnecessarily bloated files to overload the processors at our printer, potentially causing a printing error. The more “lightweight” and “clean” you can make a file before uploading, the more consistent your print will be across our global network. https://help.lulu.com/en/support/solutions/articles/64000280479-color-differences
  12. @benged123 Well, I don't see that PDF/X would be mandatory for Lulu (but I've no experience with them). Why do you want/need to use this standard? Having read this: When Should I Use Grayscale? Most text-based projects, such as novels and memoirs, don’t have any colors in the interior file. Even if there are graphic elements, if the final intent is to print in Black and White, then you may benefit from working in or converting to the Grayscale color space. This can produce a more consistent and predictable print across our network, as CMYK and sRGB still carry color information. When a black and white file is printed in a different color profile, it can cause an unpredictable color cast in some instances. Working in the Grayscale space reduces this chance and makes the final print more predictable as you develop it. https://help.lulu.com/en/support/solutions/articles/64000280479-color-differences The gamma of grayscale images should be between 2.2 and 2.4. https://help.lulu.com/en/support/solutions/articles/64000255519-pdf-creation-settings If it was for me, I would try settings like this (but according to your 1st message, it's perhaps what you already did?):
  13. PDF/X are PDF, with specifications adapted for graphical exchange. It is used by some Affinity export presets. • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/X
  14. Text can flow from frame to frame. Here is a sample file: Masters with various baseline grids.afpub
  15. Can't you use various masters with identical text frames on them, but each with a different baseline override? If multiple text frames are named the same in different masters, content can be transferred when applying one or another. Enregistrement de l’écran 2025-02-06 à 22.23.16.m4v
