Jon P got a reaction from Hangman in A-Designer 2.4.0 States crashes
This is correct, as a workaround for now, if you press enter after using the text field and then tick the regular expressions box it should avoid the crash

Jon P got a reaction from Ron P. in False Crash Reports- All 3 Apps
It looks like the apps are crashing when closing down. There was a recent issue where entering the export dialog and closing the app was causing this but that's fixed, so looks like this is something different.
I'll get this logged, thanks for the report

Jon P got a reaction from soap in DWG and DXF Export
Do you have any videos/files demonstrating this so we can look into it? Assuming this was exporting to DWG/DXF and then directly importing into CAD

Jon P got a reaction from Hangman in Publisher 2.4.0.2256 Transparency issues on MacOS
Thanks for the report, I've passed this on. Seems to have been broken for a while and is specifically related to the outer shadow effect

Jon P got a reaction from Frozen Death Knight in DWG and DXF Export
I think it would be useful to display the export format if exporting from the Designer persona, so have logged that.

Thanks @debraspicher. I'll log the fact the origin changes when setting the selection box on a rotated object

Jon P got a reaction from MikeTO in Exporting to PDF with hyperlinks
I logged an issue this morning that also shows an error, so there's definitely some more to flush out. If you can send me the afpub I'll check if it's a similar cause.
Thanks

Hi @Intuos5,

Hi, this is a known bug in the current beta and has already been fixed for the next beta.

Jon P got a reaction from Jane P in Added Alt Text and now my document won't export
The cause is if your document contains hyperlinks to emails/anchors, in the document you uploaded if you remove the hyperlink on RSVP it will export without an error (or export without hyperlinks or tagging enabled). It's logged with us and should hopefully be fixed in a future beta

Jon P reacted to MikeTO in Cross-reference broken when object pinned above its target
This is a regression from 2.2.1 but easily worked around by updating all cross-references.
If you paste an object inline anywhere above the target of a cross-reference, the xref will become outdated and its value will be assigned to the xref below it. This test doc has xrefs to TOC anchors, a manual anchor, and to a paragraph, and they're all impacted the same way.
I don't know if 2.3 documents are supposed to be able to open in 2.2.1 but opening this doc in 2.2.1 will result in blank values for the cross-references so something has changed.

Can you attach the document here so I can look into this

Publisher Manual Feb 26 2024.pdf
Q&A
Is this really free? Yes, I'm making it available free of charge. It's copyrighted to prevent others from publishing it as their own. Is there a longer manual I can purchase? No, this is it. Is there an iPad version? No, the steps and screenshots are for the macOS and Windows versions. Is there a version for Designer or Photo? No, but many of the features are the same so you should still find it useful. Why does it use a print layout if it's a PDF? It's a demonstration of how to use the features it describes to create a print book. Previous version for 2.3:

Jon P got a reaction from JosueVivas in Replace PDFs not fixed [SPLIT]
I believe this is what is maybe being referred to, but that's a fix for a crash replacing which is not what is being reported.
When replacing multiple PDFs, assuming you are replacing a PDF that has been placed multiple times and choosing the "parent" PDF to replace, all copies are being replaced for me on Mac and Windows.
Can you provide a video demonstrating the issue

Thanks! This works perfectly now.

Jon P got a reaction from Seneca in Running Headers Regression in 2.2.0 (1971)
Thanks for the report @Seneca.
I've logged this, as I can't see any obvious reason why it's not pulling in some of the headings

Jon P got a reaction from Hangman in Guide Colour [1971]
Yup, we've confirmed it's still an issue in Designer/Photo but not Publisher, and will update the issue. Thanks

Jon P got a reaction from Hangman in Custom Fields [1971]
The fix for this intentionally ended up allowing users to create fields with the same names as built in fields, but should be preventing duplicate custom field names from being created.
I'll log an improvement in regards to no error/toast being shown when it fails to create a duplicate field

Jon P got a reaction from Hangman in Alt-click new layer automatically moves current selection to a new layer
Thanks @Hangman that's been logged with us through that thread.
I've logged an improvement about also adding it to the Layers dropdown, which would allow it to be assigned a shortcut
