I guess I could use Designer to make the initial document but the guide manager doesn't work with all the artboards right, does it? I did successfully do our first newspaper edition this week using Publisher instead of Indesign. It actually worked without too many problems. No showstoppers and the separations looked okay for the most part. Some of the ads that gray was specified ended up separating as RGB converted to CMYK and I'm not sure why. If you made sure ahead of time that the color in the ads were 0 0 0 100 then the colors translated to the correct plate.

Data merge

I do agree. This needs to be added in. This and "merge to PDF" -
Designer: PDF Passthrough is rasterizing in slices
Bryce replied to Bryce's topic in Designer V1 Bugs found on MacOS
Ok. I did some more testing and attached the file and the link. it happens when I use PDF X4 setting for export. If I use PDF for print it does not do rasterize. It also does seem to do the same whether it is the slice or export. I must have had to different settings last night when I thought they were the same. Virtual Open House.pdf test.afdesign -
Thanks for getting version 1.9 out. I think the new features will be very good. I am testing out the PDF Passthrough abilities for our newspaper and every time I do the file is rasterized when exported using slices. It seems to export fine from the export menu, but with slices it rasterizes the file using the same PDF export setting. Is there anything that I am missing? Also, is there a way to get a higher resolution preview out of PDF passthrough? thanks!

It seems there can be files with objects that have hidden selection margins. I believe this is a bug or something setup wrong in my file. Is there something wrong that the objects selectability extends clear to the left of the sheet? Check out this video here: ' Screen_Recording_2020-11-24_at_5_25.06_PM.mov

When I try and click an object many times it selects an object far off. It will do this consistently in this document. I'm using the Mac. It seems to happen in every Affinity product with the files that have the problem. This was a PDF originally that I started with. I can select objects behind by holding down option and clicking. The selection perimeter of the top most object is very large. Is there something I'm doing wrong? This happens on other documents too, but not all.

I just want to tell you my appreciation for Serif listening to customers, even when it requires patience on our end. I use the programs everyday. For 90% of our work it has completely replaced Adobe. I wouldn't be surprised that once PDF passthrough is enabled and works that we will be at 99% for creative production and newspaper. Unfortunately there is no replacement for Acrobat and the plugins that we use all the time. The ability for Serif to be able to have all three of their programs ready for a new platform on day of release of the OS is a testament to their dedication for their software and customers for the future. Adobe, on the other hand, hopes to have Lightroom by the end of the year and Photoshop out next year. Nothing about Indesign or Illustrator. I'm sure it's a mess of code because of years of just adding in without making sure was optimized. Thank you and God bless!

text conversion to curve

If this is something regular that you need, save it as an export preset. I have my own because I need specific settings. -
put layer lock button on the layer bar

That is the issue as soon as you relink hte first one it starts the spinning beach ball. I do have an update. I let it sit for hours and it finally came through and finished. Even though it finished, it was wrong because it linked to the first page of the PDF document. That is a bug that must be fixed, and hopefully soon. I then went and updated each and every page with the correct page of the PDF. Something is not right when links take that long, considering that is the point of links to make the document more manageable.
