The Best member of this forum! Hands Down! Thanks Paolo!

is it possible to add Photoshop eps files as an option in AD/AD here?

Doesn't sound too complicated, but couldn't you create artboards for all then use Export Persona to create you pdfs for print? See the setup.

It doesn't do it when you choose PDF flattened. This format has saved me in another situation.

I wonder if the posters that say that AP/AD is slow in certain things like on startup, tasks, etc, that it doesn't have to do with how clean the mac is. Surely not everyone has the same hygiene as the everyone else but if one practices good mac hygiene to clear out junk, caches, trash, etc and keep an eye on their RAM use would many of the issues posted be resolved. I personally like my mac pretty clean. I use Onyx all the time, and a couple other apps for maintenance, keep my desktop clean, and my mac is silky smooth - 2012 Mac Pro 16GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB. nothing special in hardware.

Looks like it works when using TextEdit, so if I copy cells from Excel and paste into TextEdit, grab that text the paste that into AD and then it is populated properly. The tabs may need adjusting in my case but at least it brought it over!

I am wondering where the printing support option is on Excel 2003 version is? I did what you said and I did get to the data where in fact it is live text, but they are all separate text objects, not good. The convenience is that in excel I can highlight the cells, go over to AI and highlight the frame (text object with tabs), and it populates the fields.

As I explained in op, I left layers, didn't flatten the doc. I used the export persona and changed my settings to PDF Flattened, rasterize everything and compatibility PDF/X:2003. Opened in Acrobat and chose proper printer in list and it looked fine.

I got it to work properly thank you!

I have to sometimes make tables in AI with data taken from Excel, and AI does a good job of taking Excel cell data and populating it in AI, given they are in the same visual format. What I mean is if I have 2 columns of Excel data and I create a text frame with tabs then they show up correctly in AI. I tried this in AD and it didn't do it. Just curious to see if this is on anyone's radar. Seems like a long shot I know but never hurts to ask!!

I have a layered afdesign CMYK file that I needed to export as pdf then print but in every mode I chose the color was off. I tried for print, for export, probably every setting until I tried flattened, this seemed to be the right color. I am printing on a HP Laserjet 5500. The PDF actually is opened by default in Acrobat and then printed from there. Should I be prepping my file for print a certain way to assure the color is right? Just curious why this is happening and if I need to follow a certain procedure for printing? Should I leave the layers as is then export in Export persona or should I actually rasterize and flatten manually then export? There a handful of ways one can do this. Thanks

Is there text wrapping in Designer? I keep seeing people's vague posts about whether it exists or not, or workarounds that people have tried. Please set this straight, I mean even you refer to in " Frame text is for body text with long paragraphs that wrap; ". I would assume it exists. Also I saw a post where you actually relied to a poster saying that it will be a Publisher only thing, but my question is then, why even have Frame tool if its going to be so limited, no wrapping no columns (yet I presume)?

Thanks Dave. I went back and did my own typing in AD and it works fine. I had copy pasted text from another app and it doesn't spell check that way. Maybe in a future update.

Is there really a spell checker in AD? I have tested with misspelled words and the app doesn't seem to recognize them.

Here's a link to @PaoloLimoncelli he shared with me a while back, awesome guy this is! https://twitter.com/paololimoncelli/status/618347486625796097

If you have both apps, just go back and forth between the apps with the "edit in Designer" function. Make your text on curve there and bring it back to Photo.

Is the clipart in vector? If it is maybe an import into AD will allow full editing?

Keep waiting the red x is actually button to cancel the download. Confusing I know but if you see the red X your DL has started, then its all about your internet speed. Big files so they may take a few.

I have become an Affinity fanatic since last year but I can't help to look beyond even your software for something over the top when it comes to post processing. I have recently jumped over to Macphun software to see what that side's like, and I have to admit its pretty cool! And I can't help to wonder if Affinity would ever bring something like they've done to life? Imagine all the power you guys are developing plus post processing in presets! Wow what a suite you would have on your hands! I mean I would never leave Affinity for MacPhun but after all the editing is done, what's next? Well that's what Macphun is doing. Hopefully you consider adding a new persona or even a new app to compete with them, because they can't do what you do but it sure is fun over at Macphun!

I tried the drag and drop and it always gives me an error too, if you use the import styles from the hamburger menu then you shouldn't get an error.

Not sure why it would say that, try it again, I recently updated to make sure it did not have any issues. I just downloaded it and I had no issues.

You have already found all the controls there is at the moment with regards to user interface, we believe we will see more options in a future update.

Also Global light would be good.

You can play with the settings in filters>blur>depth of field blur. This is the filter called miniaturize in the extension on Photos. Switch to from elliptical to tilt-shift to get the right effect.

Looks like the stars circles are on a standard grid and the bunny's grid is isometric. That's what I see off hand.
