[Convertin sequential pages to double side booklet format]

Sorry for the long delay - I have been off line for a while.   Thanks for the reply.  That doesn't seem to be any easier than the way I'm doing it at the moment, but thanks for the help

[Convertin sequential pages to double side booklet format]

Sorry, but I couldn't find a 'search' on you FAQs and couldn't search over 2500 pages to see if this had been addressed before ! 

I produce a 32 page A5 magazine which is sent out by email.  I would like to print this out on 8 sheets of double sided A4 paper.  Is there a way that Publisher can move each sheet to it's required place for printing  (page 1 and page 32 need to go together, with pages 31 and 2 on the reverse) or do I have to continue moving each page individually to it's required place ?

[Black or Rich black]

Three or four months ago, I abandoned Affinity Publisher because it modified all my black text to 'rich black' (with CMY content) which my printing company cannot use. I posted the problem, and there were multiple ideas being discussed, but no-one seemed to have an explanation.  There appears to be nowhere in the publication setup where I can modify this behaviour.  Has anything changed in the last few months which might make it possible for me to set my black to 100% K ?

Thanks Lagarto, that does clear things up a lot.  My document was setup as RGB, so that will explain the problem. However, I do import a lot of material from RGB type sources, so I will have to watch for that. I'm a little more confident of getting somewhere now though, thanks.

Thanks   I'll give that a try

Sorry Lagarto,    I just don't understand all this, and will just give up.  Thanks for your efforts     

[text colour (CMYK)]

OK thanks

[text colour (CMYK)]

Sorry Lagarto, I don't fully understand you.  I can modify any of my text to K100, but have to do it item by item.  What I need is something to tell Publisher that I want Black (K) text, not a mixture of CMYK      I cannot remove colour profiles from my document as that would affect the colour pages !

I did export as PDF X4, that's when my Printers told me the text was all in CMYK

I'll try to put a simple file together tonight

[text colour (CMYK)]

I tried to create a new style, with my required CMYK, but it didn't work; colours were still around the usual mix.

[text colour (CMYK)]

In Affinity Publisher, my text colour always seems to be around 70% CMY and 80% K.  My Printer requires this to be 0% CMY and 100% K.  I can change each paragraph individually, but  this is very time consuming and surely there must be a way to set Publisher to a default 0,0,0 and 100 %.  Can anyone help ?

 

[transferring tables]

Thanks Callum.  Yes, that transferred the table OK and I can modify the contents, but I can't work on it as a table (to add or remove rows), and  I can't amend the borders !

I have a large number of tables in Serif Pp7.  Is there any way I can transfer these onto  Affinity Publisher pages ?

Thank  you carl123 - I never thought of trying that !

[Multiple page view]

In Publisher, is there a way to show multiple pages as there was in PagePlus ?  I can't find it !

Thanks.  Hopefully this will be resolved when Publisher is released on 19th

[Image handling in Publisher]

Sorry, don't really understand.  With Serif Pageplus and photoplus I was able to select an image in pp and I got an option to use photoplus to modify the image.  Is this not going to be possible with Affinity Publisher and Photo ? 

[Image handling in Publisher]

I have Affinty photo 1.6.5    .   My Publisher  using 'File''  does not have an option to 'Edit in Photo

[Image handling in Publisher]

Any idea when the Publisher Beta will be able to link to Affinity Photo ?  Or are you planning to make Publisher link with PhotoPlus ?

[Masking]

I'm trying to use your tutorial on 'masking'.  I'm instructed to go to 'File>Open' to load an image, but doing that, only allows me to access the most recent folder on my computer. It doesn't allow me to enter the required website. What's happening?

[ease of use]

Yes, I know, but it doesn't do 'redo' !

[ease of use]

Finding the tutorials very helpful, but is it possible to make the cursor in the tutorials bigger or more contrasty ?  It moves so quickly that it's hard to find where it was moved to, before the next operation takes place.

I also miss the undo / redo icon on the toolbar;  I know I can use CTRL  Z but the icons were so convenient when the mouse is already in your hand.

[CreateDirectory Failed on Photo/Designer Update]

Tried that, and it didn't work - same error message.

[Squaredancer]

I don't understand how to use this forum n!  I'm trying to install the update to Affinity Photo, - it downloads OK, but when I try to run the .exe file, I get the error message "Exception. CreateDirectory failed"   How do I get help ?
