  1. Better late than never... Thank you Lee. My apologies too since I didn't even know the response was there until now. Before I saw this response from you I had resolved the bleed issue. I'm not 100% sure what I did now, but certainly I was able to press on with the document. I did get another issue though which may be related to what you describe. I was considering raising a new topic, but let's see if you have any feedback to this before I do that, just in case it is related..... When I see the images (on PC screen) in Affinity Photo they always have good contrast and the blacks are well defined (They are TIFF B&W images). When I insert the images (as TIFF) into Affinity Publisher for document editing, they change to have slightly less contrast and the blacks are not so deep. When I exported to PDF (CMYK profile), and open that on my screen, the contrast is good again and the blacks well defined. The PDF was sent off to the printer who required CMYK. When I received the printed result back from the printers the images have less contrast and the blacks are not so deep, and actually very close to that of the Publisher output during editing on the screen. I have the feeling this is to do with my colour space settings (even though the affected ones are B&W) through the system process. My knowledge of colour space setting is not good, but the print company suggested to use PDF/X-1a for the export, and GRACol 2006 Coated for the colour profile. The latter does not seem to exist in the selections.... If I am in fact looking in the correct place. Do you have any suggestions please? Best regards, G.
  2. Just wondering if there is any feedback to the uploaded file yet? Regards, Graham
  3. Thank you Lee. I just uploaded the [zipped] package in a shortened form of the book, but which still shows the two issues at my side. I look forward to hearing if you can recreate the issue, and what can be done to resolve it. (edit... I just noticed the text overflow from removing following pages. This is not the issue, but please feel free to remove the offending text to see the issue properly) Graham.
  4. Sorry I'm a relative newby to Affinity Publisher, but couldn't find an answer in the FAQs... I'm working on a photo/text book and desire some photos to cross the page boundary and over into the other page of a spread. The printer requires a pdf of the book, so I was running some tests of the story so far but coming up with an issue... The preflight checks indicated a bleed hazard for those specific photos, so I tried to ignore this. When I progressed to create the PDF with "Publisher" it would stick with a continuous rotating wheel on calculating estimated size. If I ignore this and go to exporting it would then produce an error message "An error occured while exporting" . I was able to narrow this error down to only those pages with the spread images. Could anybody please advise me of how to avoid this error and successfully export a pdf file (stage by stage ideally as I have not found my way around the many, many, menus yet.) Other than that I'm loving the program....
