I will keep my eye on this issue! Hopefully they fix it soon! I’ll keep copying and pasting the + from my notes app in the meantime! Thank you

OMG you fixed my weird text issue! Thank you! I’m using a Smart Keyboard for my iPad Pro!

Hi everyone! I’m using Affinity Designer for iPad, v2. I can’t work out why my text is changing from black to white when I place a coloured box underneath it! See photo attached. Also, weirdly, my shift key isn’t working in text mode (only in Affinity) so I can’t insert a + into text boxes. Weird right!!! Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Jemma :)

OHHHHH I GOT IT!!!!! Thankyou so much, you have SAVED my sanity!!!!!! 😄

Hiya! Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that. This is what happened - see the screen recording. Thoughts? IMG_1443.MP4

Hi everyone, Someone please please please help me. I am creating a Polynesian pattern for a wedding invitation. The invitation is to be hot foil stamped so the file needs to be vector based not bitmap/image based. The areas that are black are the only things to be foiled gold, the background will be black cardstock. SEE PHOTO. I want to create white see-through boxes (that aren’t foiled) in the middle of the fat line. Can someone please explain how to do this? I tried putting it the mode as erase but when I export and set the rasterise option to nothing, the boxes aren’t showing up (as I have them set to 100% black (CMYK) plus the erase function). Thanks

OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. Seriously thank you so so so so much

It’s disappointing because I used to be able to fix this issue in Designer desktop by using the PageBox function as discussed here. Thank you for trying

Hi @markw, do you know if this function is available in Designer for iPad? I used to use it on Designer desktop all the time but I can’t find it on the ipad! Thanks

Hiya, do you know if this function is available on Affinity Designer for ipad? I can’t find it anywhere! I used to import PDFs onto a blank page in Designer for desktop all the time and then use the PageBox function but I can’t find it on the ipad.

Ok, I tried clip to canvas a few times but it didn’t change anything. Any other ideas? I posted some photos above so you can see what I’m talking about. I want to be able to embed multiple PDFs to a page (like business cards for example) and then print them and trim them myself. But obviously can’t do if it doesn’t show the crop marks or bleed!!! Arghhh

I just dragged and dropped the PDF into the new document! This is what I used to do in Designer desktop. What do you mean by unclipping the canvas? When I export the original PDF and view it in files, I can see it has bleed and crop marks, but then when I drag that into a new page in a new document, the bleed and crop marks disappear. Here are some pics. You can see a) the original file, then b) exported with crop marks and bleed and then c) placed on a new document without the crop marks or bleed. Basically, I want to set two up on a page so I can print easily.

I want to export numerous slices with bleed and crop marks through export persona but I can’t work out how to create a custom preset with these settings! I know how to do a custom export through the regular way but it becomes a very long process when exporting 20+ files! Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi everyone, I have embedded a PDF with crop marks into my document on Designer for iPad however is doesn’t show the crop marks! Is there a way to do this on the iPad? The PDF has bleed and crop marks and I need those when the file is embedded on a new page. I’ve recently started using Designer for iPad, instead of Designer for Mac. I recall there being a PageBox function in the tool bar where you could choose between CropBox, MediaBox and Artbox. But I can’t find this on the iPad anywhere. please help! thanks!

@chelcod after your post, I opened up a new artboard with one of my invitation suites and tried out doing a bleed and exporting and I worked it out! I’m now able to set bleed on all docs within the artboard , place images & export with bleed and crop marks. Just curious to see if you worked it out too?
