  1. Hi Walt, it is a very simple design, but we have managed to sort it for now. My printers have retraced the design and I am going to try and work out what I can do with this program for the next time I need to use it. I will be spending a lot of time with the tutorials to see if i can figure it out! Just wish I had downloaded the version 1 when it was still available (a more 'idiot proof' version, I think.} I will get my son to help me when he is next available. Thank you so much for your help, but I will not take up anymore of your precious time. Thank you and kind regards, Angela
  2. Sorry Walt, I know that every file I have done several times as an svg over a 3-4 year period on Designer1, I have been able to export the svg file as a pdf document and had no problems with it at all. The professional printing company I use open them on Corel Draw or Illustrator with no problems. I just want to use the same process, but it is not working for me and I am just finding it very frustrating as this version is a totally different process and not very clear to see how I am meant to set this up. I really appreciate your help. regards, Angela
  3. Hi Komatos, thank you for your helpful response. This is the process I used, but when the pdf was opened by the printers it was not an svg image. Some of the image didn't show at all. It went through as a jpg or png which they cannot process without retracing. There is something I am obviously doing wrong with the initial set up of the file, I think. I may just have to go back to my son's version 1 until I have time to figure it out. It was so simple in version 1. 1. Draw graphic as A3 size file. 2. Save as SVG 3. Export as PDF. I can't find the same process in Version 2 unfortunately. Regards, Angela
  4. Hi Walt, thank you for your reply. This was the problem. I hadn't realised this version was so different from the original. I don't know whether it is in the original set up, or the export process. (At 65 I'm finding it overwhelming as I am usually quite computer literate! The language of design and export personas mean nothing to me. I can't even remember that being in version 1. I only use it once a year too. I was hoping to use it more now I have retired.) I set the new document as a press ready A3. Should I have used that or print? There isn't a clear option to me of just a pdf. I am not sure that this option is available.
  5. Hi, I am very new to Affinity 2 and a raw beginner and I am having trouble with a very simple process. In Affinity 1 (on my son's laptop) it was very easy to export an SVG file as a PDF document. I cannot seem to find this in Affinity 2. It is not clear in the tutorials or I am obviously not looking in the right place, or is this something that is no longer supported? I am involved with a charity and only have to design a T-shirt logo once a year. My file has to go directly to the t-shirt printers as an svg on pdf so they can open it on their software. I have tried several times, but everything on the pdf turns up as a jpeg or png eventhough I select svg for export on the export persona. I would really appreciate your help with this, because at the moment I am wishing I could have downloaded version 1 instead.
