EDIT: I found the problem. When changing the width the "chain" icon must be changed to "unchain". I added a page between 2 and 4; Selected the page 3 in Page panel; Remove margins; Set the width from 210 mm to 10 mm; I got that black rectangle between page 2 and 4 (see the attachment); Now, I can't select it in the Page panel to work additionally on it (resizing, margins...).

Hmmmm... I expected something more intuitive and easier like in ID. Like, drag and drop an existing page between two existing pages and that's it.

Hi, my opinion is that we don't need beta forums and software, because: we would be able to start using all new features in our production work, without asking ourselves: "when it will show up in retail version to use it"; you will have ALL the users to test it instead of a "small" group of beta testers. At least, all other software companies work without beta software.

I finally succeeded to install spell check and hyphenation dictionaries. As a matter of fact, hyphenation dictionary is Serbian, so I'll have to adapt it to Macedonian.

I think Word's approach is the best one.

I found some MK dictionaries long time ago in Soft Maker or Libre Office site but I couldn't install them correctly.

There are 6-7 languages supported. What about the others? I can't find such a dictionary for my language (Macedonian) so I can't use this feature.

Hi, in Settings > Auto correct > Replace text while typing there are as many languages as there are spelling dictionaries. So, users which languages are not supported, can't enter text for replacing. Will Affinity do something about that? Just look at Word which Replace text while typing is not tied with any language.

Because Illustrator does not support Affinity formats, you must first convert them to SVG and then to Designer. Have you tried to open AI files directly in Designer?

It would be better to export them as SVG and then as Designer files.

DPI must be in range between 1.5x and 2x of the LPI. Example: if the material will be printed on coated paper that can hold 150 LPI, that the DPI must be between 225 and 300 (150 x 1.5 = 225 and 150 x 2 = 300). When changing the DPI in Photo, be sure to uncheck the "Resample" box to keep the resolution unchanged. Resolution = image size.

Why you destroy vector files by converting them to bitmap? One of the advantages of the vector files is that they can be resized to infinity and keep the resolution while bitmap can't.

OK, so here is a modification of "my" request: Lower and Upper dpi limit. So, when the image is placed with the upper limit we can adjust it, if need it, up to the lower limit.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

Hi, I think it would be nice to have an option to enter default dpi for images in Settings, so when we place the image into the document it's resolution to be adjusted proportionally to match it. In that case we can instantly know if the image is OK to use it. Of course, we could additionally resize the image to suit our needs.

Hi, Today I opened a PDF and IDML files created with InDesign and found the following problems: PDF Page 3 has too much errors. Body text paragraphs must be left justified, but most of them are aligned left or right. Spacing between text paragraphs must be set to “space after” instead of “space before”. Some sentences are broken with “ENTER”. Mostly at hyphenated words. Most of the paragraphs are left/right indented for a small amount. IDML Page 4 – not all the text is shown. Text frame needs to be resized for a small amount to display the rest of the text. Missing text on page 9 where the TOC (СОДРЖИНА) is. There is no “Text Wrap” applied around the images. Some paragraph styles’ names have “SB” at the beginning of the name, instead of “55”. Please tell me where to send the password of the archive because the files are confidental. Test files.rar

See this PANTONE Lab / RGB table: https://executiveprinters.com/pantone-color-chart/

You should use it with documents considered for testing (copied documents, dummy text...), not for final use that are important for you.

Just what I said. I didn't say it is forbidden.

When Publisher gets that feature, I'll abandon InDesign for good.

Yes, I saw this table on their Facebook page, but they lock it for comments. They also forgot to mention some features that Publisher has and both, QXP and ID, doesn't.

AFAIK, betas are not recommended for production use because there might be some structure changes in the apps that will not allow you to open the documents in newer versions.

It would be very nice, and time saver, if you (and others) put the computer info in the signature area. This way you will get answers much quicker.

Once upon a time, I suggested to the developers of PowerBASIC some features which I, nowadays, found implemented in Python and even more I could imagine. I am pretty much skillful in PowerBASIC and I can used it even under Win 10, but I abandoned it in favor of Python.
