Hi everyone The font is Silver Age LC from Blambot. I will post only for the purposes of debugging; anyone wanting to use this font for their own work should buy a license Thanks for your help! Here are the fonts and the export settings: SILVERAGELCBB.OTF SILVERAGELCBB_BOLDITAL.OTF SILVERAGELCBB_ITAL.OTF SILVERAGEUCBB_BOLDITAL.OTF SILVERAGEUCBB_ITAL.OTF SILVERAGEUCBB.OTF

Hi everyone This has been an ongoing issue; normally I solve it by either downsampling my PDFs, or exporting problem pages as a high res TIF with no layers, then opening it in designer and turning it into a PDF, and then adding it back in and re-exporting it. Honestly, it is a bit of a pain, so wondering if someone could have a look and see what I am doing wrong. For reference, this is the input: and the output... I am using the latest version of all the v2 suite on macos; I've attached the source file. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Elisio - FINAL July 2023.afpub

Hi, No idea what is causing this. I created this doc in publisher v1, then opened and saved in 2. Everything looks great within publisher. When I export to PDF however, I get distorted images No idea what is causing this; did something screw this up from v1 to v2? I do get some preflight warnings for non proportional scaling, although some of the images without this error screw up and some don't. I have also attached my settings Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Rodolfo

Hi, I am putting my second book together in Publisher. Last time I made crop marks etc because my bleed seems to extend beyond the canvas. I want to create a book that is 5x5 inches wide x 8.5 inches tall. at the print shop it will be trimmed to 5.25 x 8.25. If I take 5.5 x 8.5 and add a .125 inch bleed, it extends past the canvas. So for now I am making it 5.25 x 8.25, affinity extends the bleed past the canvas and shows the cropmarks on the PDF, which when cut does give me my measurement. However, is there a way to set the bleed to be inside the canvas of 5.5 x 8.5 so I can see it visually and still have the crop marks line up on export? If not I guess that I will stick to my current method. Just want to make sure that I am not doing something wrong or missing something obvious. To summarize, yes I know I am getting my desired measurement, but visually it just seems a bit odd that my bleed is outside of my canvas Thanks

Hi everyone Just wondering if anyone could help. I want to export from Corel into Affinity. I know I can’t do this directly, but am wondering if anyone has found the right settings to create something that Affinity will recognize as text layers. I want to migrate a bunch of projects and all my text carries over as curves. Whenever I try making a .ai file it is blank in Affinity, and PDFs are just curves instead of text. any help would be amazing!

Hi, I am completely new to Publisher (just bought it). I am an indie comic book publisher, and currently use Adobe Acrobat to build my PDFs for print. I just drag in my tiff files and then build. My Acrobat subscription is coming due, and I was wondering if publisher could replace this function? Otherwise I am on the hook to Adobe for $200 a year basically forever. Thanks Rodolfo

I know there is a strong voice for linux support, but it seems like we won't get it soon. While this isn't the result Linux users want, I understand the business reasoning. So I am hoping that while we probably won't get a native linux version, how about a collaboration with the Wine project to get us an installable and usable Linux solution? I know this requires some effort, but hopefully it would be far less than writing something from scratch. I am confident that many of our existing Linux users would contribute time or money if needed to make this a reality.

I find myself switching to other software, such as gimp, when needing to export a file to webp for web work. I would love if this could be added, at least to Photo. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am new to working with vectors, and getting stuck with subtracting a shape. In the attached file, I just want to make the heart transparent (which I can do) and then cut it out from the bag, so there is a heart shaped transparency in it (this I can't figure out). I tried Layers > Geometry > Subtract and all I end up with is the heart turning white. Subtract seems to work fine on other files (a friend drew this one for me in adobe). What am I missing here?

I routinely use purchased stock images from depositphotos.com, and quite often when I open .eps files, they do not look anything like the thumbnails. I am prepping soem xmas promo images (I know, a bit early but what the heck) and about 3 in a row do not work; they look blurry and pixelated, or images are misaligned. I have attached some sample eps and the corresponding jpg files that simply do not work; any help would from the community would be appreciated! 338_WG1hczI3XzEx.eps1510005_Red_silver_Christmas_typography.eps oct_19_2015_03.eps

wow, thank you so much! I really hope that the Affinity Devs can implement better SVG support.

I cannot get this SVG file to load correctly into designer. Should look like the PNG file attached, but all I get is a rectangle and square (screenshot attached). Oddly enough, if I open this in sketch the icon is hidden in the top right corner, but not in affinity logo.svg

Thank you so much everyone! This was a huge help and it looks like I am on my way to being Adobe free now 🙂

Hi everyone, I am completely new to Publisher; I never used illustrator. I bought publisher because I wanted to support Serif, but I am wondering if I can use it to replace what I am doing in Adobe Acrobat. I currently use Acrobat Pro to create print ready PDFs of comic books. I really dont need any other acrobat functions and am trying to ditch it. Typically, I will generate a CMYK .tiff with the resolution/dpi desired, then import these into Acrobat. Acrobat takes on the res/DPI of the tif files and just assembles it into a PDF for me. Can Publisher do this? My main obstacle is that I don't see how to import images. I can manually open a tif in Publisher using right click, but besides that I am stuck when I want to add more pages. If I go to Document > Add Pages from File it greys out my tif files. I also have Designer, so if I am using the wrong solution here I am always open to ideas 🙂

I understand Serif's reluctance, but I just can't let this go. I truly feel that a great option for not just myself, but many would be Linux. I am loving Ubuntu 20.04, and honestly don't to have anything to do with Windows ever again. I have gotten rid of it almost entirely in my home as well as 2 businesses. At this point, I may have to buy a new PC just to have a half decent Windows 10 box or Ubuntu + Win 10 barebones VM. I would much rather put that money into Serif's pockets. If you told me right now that I could pre-order a copy of Photo, Designer and Publisher (native Linux, NOT wine) for $200 each, I would pay it immediately. I am certain that I am not the only one.
