For existing documents steps are to change for all text spelling to None and to add Text frame also set to None. And it will not crash. Thanks for finding this!

Problem is that I can not open files now as I have them saved with 2.6 ... Unbelievable.

Having the same issues with Designer and Photo. Clearing Reset Files Export Presets does not help. Even blank page crashes if I switch Export to PDF. Clearing everything does not help either. Disable Hardware Acceleration too. Can I somehow downgrade? I need to send PDFs to client and I am stuck now?!

I would also like to see this. I am generating pages from Excel table. And than need to export these pages as PDFs. I would even like to be able to generate page names using Data and Field. And than export every page as separate PDF where file name is picked from page name. This would speed up tremendously my workflow Now just renaming 150 PDFs takes forever, with this option it is 1 click solution ....

Soooo good luck with this This is really bummer.

And this is HUGE issue with Symbols.

I use amazing data feature to generate PDFs for some projects I am working on. One thing that bothers me a lot, is not being able to export pages as separate PDFs. Also with that would like to see option to name pages (using Field) and when exporting PDFs Publisher to pick that for filename. Right now I can export PDF, than open that PDF in Designer, create slices from pages, manually rename pages and export as separate PDF. And this is huge issue when I have 50+ PDFs to create and client changes something. Need to go over most time consuming part again and again.

I doubt anyone will decide at this exact moment. I am sure I am good with Affinity for couple of years. What future will bring nobody really knows. I do not trust promises cause I heard many in past, and things went opposite way. Did not witness that promises were kept, yet. Might be different with Affinity. Hope is there.

This is false. I installed it and it has been used in our studio on 4 Linux variants without problems, See, some companies are doing their work to meet costumer need, other just find excuses.

Pledge does not mean much to me to be honest. Google XSI for example. After bunch of pledges Autodesk killed it overnight. I heard similar pledges for other 3D app I use and 5+ years after acquisition they are struggling to survive. Everything was ok first year, than all of the sudden ceo, and some devs were exited. From pledge to be perpetual now there is sub only. If 10% of devs, that started developing that app, work now I would be surprised. Now this does not mean same will happen to Affinity, of course. But thing is that now everything is driven by profit investors expecting. Things can change overnight and none of the pledges are followed at that moment ...

Will keep Affinity until it hits subscription only mode. Than it will be, probably, 'Back to Adobe'. I did try open source alternatives, like Inkscape and Gimp, but those are good for simple to medium level tasks. It is nightmare to work on a bit larger projects ...

Honestly Ash this is not first time I am seeing this, and none of what you say now, really kept. All of the software that I use, and that were purchased like this, end up as only subscription model, and their development pace was cut half. Same talk. Same promises and wishes, and outcome is always the same. It would be huge surprise for me that different happens to Affinity.

It really depends on the industry. Devs are mostly using Linux and OSX. VfX industry is dominantly Linux. Graphic/design industry is mostly Windows and OSX. Servers are Linux 99.999%, but that is really not important for us, desktop users. I think Linux is fine with Inkscape that delivers most of what is required by graphic artist. It suffers from two things though. 1. Collaboration with Adobe is not great and 2. working with larger files is not close as performant as in Adobe and Affinity products. But if they manage to organize like Blender Foundation did, and focus on these two things, they could replicate Blender success.

Thanks. Downloaded trial and it does what I need. Can link afdesing files with Picture frame. Will deal with separating PDFs with Designer or Photo. Will do the job! Buying it.

I am researching if Publisher is right tool for task I have. I nee to create bunch of PDFs, with data from CVS. So basically have one layout, some text and drawing needs to be different for every PDF. I was thinking to create using Data merge option. Now have some questions. Is it possible to link PDFs? I want to use CSV data to fill design, and want to insert/link PDF (like I would image), but would also use path form CSV so every page would have different PDF linked. It would be even better if I could do that with Designer files directly, as drawings I need to link are made with Designer and exported as PDF. Also is it possible to export every page as separate PDF? Like in batch, or need to do it one by one?
