Hiya, Thank you very much for that Nige.

Hiya, I have a simple project that I have set up with a master page with two text columns per page. I want to copy and paste quite a large document into it. Currently I have to keep adding pages, linking the text boxes by hand so that text flows into the next page, add another page etc. Is there a way to set up a document so that I can paste into a single page and Publisher automatically add pages, and flow the text correctly between each column and page? Additionally, if I want to add more text, it will expand if I paste more text? Thank you, Nige.

Hya Walt, Thank you Worked a treat. Nige.

Hiya all, I have just started to play around with publisher and I don't understand how to copy and paste a sizable text document into it. I thought that Publisher may adjust its page count automatically to suite but it doesn't seem too. I also tried to make a master page and added 50 blank pages attached to the master page. I can't seem to select the text box to past the text into. The project is a 50 or so page 2 column document. Thanks, Nige :)

HI, When I opened yours up I had the same problem - zooming in and the text is not anti-aliased. However, when I selected some of the text in the document and highlighted it the text suddenly popped back to being anti-aliased! It would seem that there is a display problem with my mac and the text is not being anti-aliased properly in preview. Many thanks for your help, nige.

Hi, Yes, my preview setting are OK. I don't have PDF reader, i'll look at installing it. Thanks, Nige.

Hiya, Will pm you link. Big pic is how they both open up and the smaller one is with the poor export zoomed in to match the size of the Graphics export - note the poor quality. ta nige.

Hiya, Yes, seems to open as a small, low res pdf. Ta, nige.

Hiya, pm sent. nige.

Hiya, Thanks, I understand the size issues here, but I guess I suspect that the export from Affinity is the problem and not preview. The export from Graphic is a very similar process using Apple's export api's but the pdf opens fine. The document is a vector one with a .png graphic in it. Thanks, Nigel.

Hello, Thanks for the response. I still don't understand why preview would open the file and display it as it were 841 x 595 pixels, and when I zoom in the quality deteriorates as expected on a low res file. When I open the pdf from Graphic, it fills my monitor and looks great. Thanks, Nige.

Hi, I can't export to PDF properly from A Photo either. I managed to export a svg into AutoDesk Graphic and export the PDF from there. Not impressed, will be using Graphic from now on. Nige.

Hi, Any further thoughts? When I export a jpg, the resolution is correct. Interestingly when I open the jpg in Preview and save or print as pdf, the resulting pdf is small and unusable too. Thank you, Nige.

Hiya, No, I open it in Preview and saw it was small and using 'Get Info' on the file in the finder gives me the resolution of 841 x 595. The export is defiantly set to 300 dpi and changing the option to 'use document resolution' makes no difference - I still get a small file. The document is set to the correct pixel size. Thanks, Nige.

Hiya, Rather not attach it as it's work for a client, can I upload it somewhere or email it? Thanks, Nige.

Hiya, I am trying to export an A4 document as a PFD. The resolution is 3508 x 2481 but whatever the settings I use the output pdf is only 841 x 595. Thanks in advance, Nige.
