[Open multiple documents at a time]

I found out. They do not close, they just vanish. I can see them under (german Version): Ansicht > Ansichten >

Better would be under: window (Fenster) the last entry. There is the name of the aktive file with a hook. What is this for, if not to be able to change the aktive document? Now this function is too deep in the menues hierachy.

[Open multiple documents at a time]

ok. this works, but i don't like this modus. where do I find the second opened file in the normal modus?

[Open multiple documents at a time]

Can't I open more then one document at once? Always, when I have a document open and open a second one, the first one opened is gone. Isn't there a possibility to open another document in a second tab? I want to copy content from one file to the other or to compare my designs.

[Affinity Designer's equivelent of Adove Book Files]

how long do we have to wait?

[alternates for Adobe Bridge and Acrobat pro?]

I want to get rid of adobe completely, yet I can’t work without Adobe Bridge. Does anyone have a suggestion, which app can do the work of Bridge (Mac OS 10.11) and cooperates well with Affinity? The same thing with adobe Acrobat. I use it for checking if my files are o.k. for Offset-printing. Any suggestions are welcome.

[Initial with 3 rows displays in 5 rows]

All, but I "played" with them in Affinity Publisher.

[Initial with 3 rows displays in 5 rows]

I defined a paragraph style with an Initial over 3 rows, but it displays over 5 rows. If I change it into 2 rows it displays as 3 rows, and with 1 row it displays as 1 row. This seems to be a bug, as when I change the size of the textframe the initial size changes to the right rowsize.

[Affinity publisher - Initial with 3 rows displays in 5 rows]

I defined a paragraph style with an Initial over 3 rows, but it displays over 5 rows. If I change it into 2 rows it displays as 3 rows, and with 1 row it displays as 1 row. I want it to display the right way: 3 rows = 3 rows.

[select vector object by fill color or stroke collor]

Is there a way to select vector objects that have the same fillingmode or -color or stroke color? In Illustrator there is. An I can't work without this feature.

[Publisher 1.7.3.481 CMYK Export problem-need urgent help.Thx.]

Du kannst mir ja mal vertraulich das PDF schicken und ich gucke mal in Acrobat, was der mir dazu sagt. Selber habe ich leider noch keine Publisher-Datei from the scratch, um selber zu testen, was passiert.

[Publisher 1.7.3.481 CMYK Export problem-need urgent help.Thx.]

I am not firm with publisher yet, but guessing from all I know about colourmanagement from InDesign, The reasons could be:

- You chose PDF-X4, which means it keeps all transparencies, and your Printer can not deal with transparencies (has no PDF Print engine).

- Or as your file is an PDF-X* file, There is no colourprofile embedded. PDF-X only says to the Printer "My colourprofile is XY" And it is on the Printer to "know" how to handle this information.

[InDesign IDML files not yet?]

Hmm

I think I will stay with El Capitan so long. Thanks to all

That is the main reason many users are not going to update to Catalina.

Does this mean CS6 still works under Mojave? I still hook on El Capitan. Also Illustrator? I heard this will not work on Mac OS higher than El Capitan

[Missing features]

I am missing some features I often use in InDesign. Maybe they are implemented in A-Publisher and I have only problems to find them. Please, what are the equivalents, and where do I find them, for:

a) Buchfunktion (in english Bookfunction?)

b) Wörterbücher (in english Wordbooks?) e.g. for german hyphenation (it is terribble)

c) verschachtelte Formate (nested styles?) and GREP styles

d) There is only the one-line-setting for paragraphs. Where can I find Absatzsetzer (to automatically find the optimal hypehenation and textwrapping in a paragraph)?

e) Can I save my own workingspaces and change them with a click?

f) If I want to have a sheet with e.g. 3 pages, different sizes, how to?

g)  InDesign I has the function "Verpacken" (packing?). So the app looks for all linked resources of a document and put it all into one folder?

h) Why can't I edit placeholder text?

i) missing the feature "Spaltenspanne" (column spread?). Where I can tel e.g. a Headline to display over all columns of a texttframe, or over 3 of 4 ...

j) I can set tabs only by typing the number in mm or pt, right? Is there a way to have a slider/ruler on top of the fram/column, where I can move the tab with the courser until I am satisfied with the result?

 

Sorry, it's al lot, but I need it! (Not necessesarily GREP)

[Initials display wrong in frametext]

I've opened the file on a windows machine and altering the master page text frame slightly seem to correct the height

I work on an iMac with system 10.11.6. This morning, when I tried to change the text in the textframe of the document page the system did't crash. But the inititial is still 5 rows high.

Also it is unusual that page 1 as a right page has the content of a left master page assigned

You are right. I was also wondering, but had the problem with the initials at that moment. So what is this? Why on the right document page is displayed the left masterpage?

Did you detach the text frame on the document page

Was the text frame ever resized?

The text frame wasn't detached, as I am still learning/trying out AP and haven't reached this point yet. Too many problems on my way trying out the program. As you can see the corners of the text frame are still crosses. Therefore I didn't resize it either.
 

very strange: I just removed the old textframes and put new ones on the masterpage. Now the document pages are o.k. ?!?!  Maybe all the trouble was because this document is based on an imported a pdf-file?

[Initials display wrong in frametext]

It seems it happens only in a textframe originally from a masterpage. Yet I cannot test it, because publisher crashes as soon, as i try to delete the text in that frame.

[Initials display wrong in frametext]

I defined a paragraph style with an initial over three lines. On the masterpage it displays the right way, but on the layout pages it streches over 5 lines.

[shape text in publisher]

Thank you. It works. That's great. And for the angled textline I have to turn the shape before I distort it.

 you will need to use a Curve/Shape Text object if you wish to manipulate the shape using the Node Tool. I hope this helps!

As I have the german programm version: What is a Curve/shape Text object? I want to change the shape of a textbox not to be rectangular but irregular. I tried the node tool. But it draws a new shape. I want to grap the corners and to move each of them differently.

[On exporting as a PDF file, Publisher crashes...]

I have the same problem. It is't possible to export, because publisher always crashes while setting the export parameters.

[shape text in publisher]

How can I handle shape text in publisher?

I draw a shape, which I changed into a textframe (not with the frame text tool, because it is not working). Now I want the text groundline not be horizontically but in a certain angle, lets say:  -10°.

Another question. Can I change the shape of a regular textbox?

[Full justification Text single word]

Silbentrennung ist aktiviert. Darum geht es ja auch nicht. Durch Silbentrennung werden die Wortteile kürzer. Ich möchte aber das Wort ungetrennt und ohne künstliches spacing einfach nur linksbündig oder rechtsbündig gesetzt haben. In InDesign gibt es dafür die Möglichkeit zu wählen in den Absatzeinstellungen unter "Abstnde/Einzelnes Wort ausrichten".
