thank you genius Mike! I struggled with that and now think it's good.

I'm new to using the book function in Publisher. I've watched the videos and my Publisher does not act like the ones on Youtube, which neatly renumber. Here is what I have and that is the page numbers are all screwed up. Even though the update is all checked. I've clicked the synchronize and it still does not work. I've gone into the section manager and made the pages right. I put them in the book and they become like this above. If you are using books, can the section manager not be used? Also, how do you reset the section manager if it's not what you want. I mean how do I force the page numbering if it's grayed out because it's in a book? I would like to start the page numbers over so that Chapter 1 starts with page 1 rather than starting at page 7. Thanks for the help!

I think the update 2.6.2 is working normally again in regards to the crop tool and not showing the original picture size.

Hello Nathan, Any update on this feature we lost from version 2.0? I would really love this back, especially since it's been almost 2 years. I thank Serif for the new features too but the bug fixes are important too.

That's exactly what i'm doing now. I just didn't know if there was a way to create a macro to do this instead of copying and pasting the tab/space in there.

I was thinking I saw a way to do some minor automation in AffinityPublisher. What I would like is a button that will essentially do a find and replace of tabs to spaces and vice versa. Is that something that can be done in Publisher?

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.
