Going back to this thread's topic - that is exporting each page to a separate PDF - I understand this is a feature request (but please let me know if it is currently possible). I have used the data merge option to create an 80-page document with individual customised certificates. I would now like to export each page to a separate PDF file, ideally using one of my data merge fields as the filename. I think it would make sense for this to be part of the data merge manager.

Thank you for the advice @Dan C. I'm trying to avoid the contributors using their own styling, but allow enough for me to see headings/emphasis and apply consistent styling through Publisher text styles. I've suggested docx / rtf and provided guidelines for formatting (listed below in case they are helpful to anyone else). Thank you Dan No particular font is required. Bolding and italics may be used for emphasis. Headings with # Sub headings with ## Sub sub headings with ### Use a single carriage return to indicate a new paragraph (i.e. no additional spacing is required). Numbered and bullet lists are ok but again without additional line spacing. Images to be supplied separately and saved as “Image 1”, “Image 2” etc;. Indicate where you would like images to be inserted by typing [Image 1] or [Image 1 “caption for image”] in the text.

I've set up a standard TOC that just includes Heading 1. My article title is heading one, and under this (no style at the moment) is the author's name: My article title Author The TOC currently shows: My article title <page> I would like my table of contents to have: My article title - Author <page> Is this possible without changing the article title to include the author's name? I'd be grateful for any advice

Hi I'm looking at how to compile articles from different contributors into a magazine, which I'm using Publisher to create. The articles will contain text, with simple formatting, and images. I can't expect the contributors to be using the same software to write the article, or have a high level of IT expertise. Can anyone recommend a good workflow to make this as efficient as possible, so I'm not having to copy/paste all the text and images? Best format for importing? Translation of text styles if I ask them to use styles? I'd be grateful for any advice. Thank you Dan

@Lagarto - thanks very much for such a comprehensive answer, and the example. That's going to do what I need - and the idea of using it for different languages might be useful in future. Thanks again Dan

Hi I am creating a Publisher document that I need to export in a few different versions. There are a number of objects/layers that I want to hide for one of the versions. Is there a way to hide these multiple objects as a group, rather than hiding/showing them individually? Thank you Dan

@TheSkeptic did you see the video that @Callum made - the Dropbox link above?

@callum @R C-R many thanks for your help, it's working! :)

I'm trying to replicate a photoshop how-to in Affinity Photo in order to create a text portrait - the blog post is: http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-create-a-text-portrait-effect-in-photoshop I'm able to created a blurred image and use this as a map for the Distort - Displace filter, but I'm not sure how to complete the steps in Affinity. I'd be grateful for any advice Thanks in advance Dan

Hi Is it possible to add a new preset for a document? For example, I've selected New Document - Type: Devices - then added a custom dimensions for 13" Macbook Retina. Can I save these dimensions so I don't have to enter them again? Thank you Dan
