Use the tools you need, it doesn't mean Publisher isn't good enough for other people.

Because of the newly adopted file format.

PDF's are mainly used for output and transport to a printing facility. This was stated by Adobe quite clearly. If you want to save all settings, you should save in the appropriate format. This goes for the Affinity trinity as well. If you convert, some settings are lost!

Have you tried to reboot and then restart... If this doens't help, then de-install and install again. Most of the time this helps. Make sure to reboot first before even trying to start the application. Windows needs to read registers and can only read the adjustments after a reboot.

Splash screen is not important! I don't work with it or can't make pages with it. So, in short: nothing to worry about.

about 7 seconds to load and with also a lot of fonts installed.

Installed without a problem and start-up is faster! Great job team!

You get that screen if there is something wrong with Windows installer. You might want to fix that first. download link for fix... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

Installed without a glitch. Keep them comming. It's getting better and better.

With application sets you can make a set that will be activated for that specific application. So you can make a set of fonts specifaclly for affinity designer for a certain project and activate those fonts in suitcase fusion. It's the next best thing next to auto-activation.

Auto activation only for some Adobe products. But there is a workaround build in for programs that can't be used with auto activation, so it is still quite simple to activate fonts. I use it for years now and the latest version is very fast and well designed UI. It's one of the best font managers out there. I put in a request to support the affinity products for auto activation a long time ago, so, who knows.

Stopped upgrading after cs6. No subscription for me and I am one of the first batch users of Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo and now also Publisher beta.

Unfortunately Dentra is not free, it's $15. Thanks for the list. You can't have enough fonts, LOL. @MrDoodlezz I use Suitcase fusion 8.

Installed without any problems on the latest Windows 1809 build.

There are specilized programs for this to turn a pdf into a flipbook and post on a website. here are a few: https://www.pdf-flip.com/PDF-Flip-Pricing.html https://www.instantflipbook.com/ https://www.yumpu.com/en

Is there a posibility that there will be more languages available for the UI in the Affinity trilogy? It might be important to increase sales. If you need people to translate into more localized languages, I am game. Willing to translate to my native language.

No problems here. Installed just fine. Looking forward to all the improvements. Thanks for the swift updates.

Congrats Serif on releasing Affinity Publisher. I've been eagerly waiting for this release...Me happy camper. Now for the bug fixing and final release... It seems I was right about the integration of Photo and Designer...

+1. Congrats on releasing the first Publisher for Windows beta. On to the bug fixing and final release...

Thanks. Was wondering the same thing, but this explains it all. Only the 1.7 updates will be Publisher compatible.

When I select a brush in designer I get a crosshair. You mean a slight rim when drawing with a brush?!

In preferences---UserInterface you can tick "show always crosshair. I recon if you don't tick it, you won't see a crosshair?!

There are some hints of wich to use. If it states "anwendung" then it's an exe file. He got more then one in that folder also different version numbers. He might have accidently coupled an affinity Photo file to excel? So excel will try to open that file ? If he clicked open with in Windows(10) and coupled excel then that program will try to open that file.

First, you're in the wrong forum, this is the Designer beta forum. You should go to the Photo forum. Second, you can install the final versions as you like. No need to use the beta's where there's a chance of problems. The final version and the beta version will install next to eachother, so you can use both as you like. Did you upgrade your graphics card drivers? I would start with that. And make sure you reboot before you even try to start Affinity Photo.

I did as you suggested but still can't replicate!
