My workaround was to tell the export to rasterize everything and it was fine then. Obviously it lost the vector in the PDF, but that is not a problem on this.

I don't know if this is part of the same problem or not, but I'm getting a funky exporting of a warp group. I'm using the generic "PDF for Print" export setting. Perhaps related?

Perfect. I don't think I would have ever found that since it it isn't there unless you specifically click on the right page. thank you!

We used to do our newspaper in Indesign. About 3 years ago we switched to Publisher when spreads were introduced. Spreads have now been refined with more ability to add more pages into a spread and this is a great move. How do you add a gutter between pages like we did in Indesign? Possible?

If you export them all as another format as mentioned in the first post, you could then setup automator on the mac to convert and combine into a single PDF.

I noticed the same thing. I'm not quite a fan of how crop works now. I assume it's a bug and not a feature.

Ok. I'll keep working on it because it's seems to be random when it's doing it.

I noticed a change from previous and that is if I click on where a hidden item is, it will select it, which is not what I want. Is this a new feature of how layers work? It looks like I have to lock all layers that I don't want touched rather than just hide them.

I think this is the correct answer. The file looks right to me.

I was thinking of just PDF/x for years it did not support transparency and we had issues with it in the past. 4 is the version that began to allow it. I apologize for stating that wrong. Thanks for providing that informative file.

I think that the issue is PDF/x-4 doesn't allow transparency. Try PDF export for print. I believe I've ran across the same issue.

Copy and pasting the objects from Designer 2.5.7 into Publisher 2.6 will also cause it to crash. Copy the objects individually will work, until you attempt to nest into the same layers that it was. Immediate crash too. One other thing is that cropped images are handled differently than before and I wonder if that has something to do with it. Pictures are now masked instead cropped. Selecting the item with the child object in shows and manipulates the whole thing as if it were outside of the parent.

If you were using the previous version 2.5.7 then go and download that version. Maybe there is something with 2.6 that hasn't been found yet.

Great job finding that one. Hopefully Serif will look at this ASAP. I'll see about downloading 2.5.7 for these

The apps are running on my 2019 Intel Mac just fine but I'm running Sequoia. I'm guessing it's a Ventura Mac OS limitation rather than Affinity.

This one file was open with 2.5.6 but now with 2.6 the file won't open. These are newspaper legal notice files that we started years ago. Anything can be done? Paulding Co Legal Notices (NOT Sheriff sales).afdesign

This is not on the cloud. Though, I seem to have less problems on the cloud than to a server. It only seems to be one computer now that is having the issues. We'll keep watching it.

Does holding down ctrl reset for the mac?

Error when trying to open the files that didn't get errors when saving. We went back now to 2.2.5.6 and restarted the computer to see if the problem continues.

That might be the case but we didn't have any issues until the update so my logical conclusion would be to go back to the last one, if not, we'll try the previous one. There wasn't much time between .6 and .7 and that means you could very well be right. I'm just not sure what to make of these errors or is something else changed but we didnt' upgrade to 15.2 yet

How do I go back to the previous update? I only see the newest in my purchases or the beta.

I think there might be a regression happening. In the last update we had better support for networking and cloud storage and seemed to work well. Since yesterday we are getting errors saving and files are damaged or say "not correct file type" when attempting to open. So far these are all in AFPUB files on the Mac OS 15.1.1. Here is one of the errors:

If you want to join the beta, I think it's open to do so. I could be wrong, but I get invitations along with their other emails.

It comes down to one thing: Money. Do the sales outweigh the development cost? If not, it's a no go in any business. Linux is fine, and I have it on a VM, but we all know that half the people on linux are there because they don't like to pay, which makes it even harder to justify, even if you had enough people who wanted the program. Designers, for the most part, are not building computers and putting Linux on.

I'm looking to have Affinity fill out my tax forms like always used Indesign to do, but I can't seem to figure it out. I use a spreadsheet with my payroll withholding data and then indesign would spit out my 941 to mail in. I use data merge regularlly and it works fine for mail batches, but for this application I can't wrap my head around this. I only need one cell from the XLSX go in one text box Publisher. Then I'll need another cell go into another text box, but on the same page. In indesign it was just a link of the XLSX file that would get updated, and it would update all my info on the page from the spreadsheet. What am I missing?
