Ok. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. I really like the feature, especially the vector.
I also would like to see subscription options available to others like shutterstock, integrated into Affinity. A person would login through that affinity interface and have access to their accounts they already have.

I've noticed today that I cannot load any images from pixabay. I tried this on multiple M1 and Intel Macs. Anyone else having this issue?
thanks!

If I get a new computer, how do I move the new document presets to the new computer for Affinity Publisher or Designer?
-
I tried it again, there is no setting of PDF that is compatible with AFfinity's placing option that won't be rasterized to a JPG in side a PDF container - according to the prevlight dialog box.
I wish Serif would be definitive on this so I knew what to choose. What does not work is PDF Export. It really does rasterize everything when the page is exported that the PDF was placed on.

images. Many are disappearing - specifically on the M1
-
We have multiple placed links in an AFPUB file in 1.10 in Affinity Publisher and on the M1 Mac many, but not all, of the links display blank. Once they open on the intel mac version they are fine.
What do you need for me to help ID the problem?
thanks!

I never thought of seperated mode as a possible issue. Does that mode cause other effects that I should be aware of?

If you have the fonts and know the two words you want, I would think 15 minutes would get you done in Designer - as vector.
Here is one I created. It took about an hour for everything. I can't imagine that a couple of words with a mid curve could be that much of aproblem.
-
One thing to think about is if you have Presets (where circled), I have had the OS deleted them at times - Very frustrating. I lose them out of all apps.
-
you have rotated your pasteboard. On the Mac it's fairly easy to do with touchpad. Click View and reset rotation. It's a little different on Publisher but about the same.

I've tried all of those in the list. When they come back in preflight always says they are incompatible.
It does not seem to matter if it's the newest at 1.7 or the oldest at1.3 or PDF/X-4. They all have the same error and many will be rasterized on output. I check to make sure the PDf that came out of Designer is vector. I then place it in Publisher - preflight always gives the warning - Sometimes it's vector on output but many times it is not - as the warning suggests. I would like to see a list of what is fully compatible with passthrough in Publisher, but i haven't found it yet.

Simply the eps file is imported into Affinity as a Raster image. Pixelated.
Are you dropping the file in from finder/explorer or are you opening the file? That makes a big difference on how Designer handles a file. If you open the file, (PDF, EPS, etc.) it will, most likely, be editable as if it were made in Designer. If you are dropping it on the canvas, it will place it as an image/link.
The only time I don't see this work to edit is if AI made the file and didn't embed the PDF.
-
I am getting these errors and the documents are rasterized. I'm trying to figure out what PDF is supported to not be rasterized. Is there anywhere that gives a listing? I cna't find one on the help or the Affinity site. I would prefer the vector to passthrough and not be rasterized but I cannot find a version that works with Publisher.
thanks!

I see the same thing and I'm not quite sure why. I believe before 1.9 it did do as you describe - vector type, drop shadow as raster underneath.
-
I tested the tiff export and I'm seeing the same thing as nodeus. Export or slices do not export bleeds in Designer. Export PDF has bleeds fine even with turning off JPG so it uses tiff.

We may be in the minority but it still indicates something is happening that shouldn't be, methinks.
I do not disagree at all.

I am running Catalina. I'm not upgrading at this time.
I've installed so far on four of my office macs - all running different OS (Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, High Sierra - 10 yr old imac) and all installed without error. The only one that took a while was Catalina.
-
For me The first time Publisher started very slow but then it came up faster on subsequent launches.
-
My install on an Intel MBP took for Publisher took a long time and stopped at the same place, but after about 15 minutes it finished and loaded.

no. just a quickview as far as I know

Dan explained the problem and solution quite well:
QuoteIf your colours are changing when exporting, this is usually due to the colour profile in use for the document not matching the profile used to export.
If you have Photoshop then I would think you would also have access to Acrobat DC. The tool is called output preview, and if you are designing for print, this is something you need to know and use. It could also be exporting as CMYK but your document is in RGB.
I wish you well on getting this solved on your end.
-
There is the preview that's available and you don't have to open anything. On the Mac you just press spacebar while in Finder. Not sure on Windows.
-
If you are checking color numbers don't use photoshop because you will introduce another place of introducing color profiles. Use Acrobat - it can show the numbers accurately along with overprints and color seperations.
-
Considering Serif already has this ability built in when a PDF is imported, this does not seem to be an intuitive way, even if it worked.
I say this because I tried it and it does not work to change the fonts in the document. At best it can change the text in one text block.
