  1. @IslanderFJ - i was able to batch resize designs using Aff Photo (macros). But i usually just use the free Merch Factor resizer tool (google it) or the Merch Wizard resize feature. Hope that helps!
  2. Thanks for the reply. Yes, i tried All Spreads and Selected Spreads. The only thing that has worked is if I edit (right click | spread properties | dimensions) each individual page.
  3. Same issue still - i have all pages imported in with bleed 6.25x9.25in but i want them 6x9. I attempted to change master page and apply. But no change to spreads. I selected all pages and edited spread setup. I edit single page by single page, and the size change "sticks". however, i dont want to go through and edit 120 pages. How do we resize all the pages. Again, i've tried Spread setup and master pages.
  4. Thanks for the suggestion - I've never looked at that level of detail on a font! I know that I did not go in and select this, BUT the issue was that the "initial forms" are set to the stylized letter P (with left swash). Just adding this answer, in case somebody else has this issue with the CLAYMALE or any other font!! Demo: https://cl.ly/b75e14
  5. Anybody noticed if there is any updated calendar functionality or anything we can do to make the process easier in Publisher?
  6. OK: new font works perfect in Word document. But, try to type letter P in new AFf Designer text field, and I get the P with a leading swash (when used as first letter) See: https://cl.ly/4d82f0 Not sure what's going on. Any tips? I tried digging around in Glyphs but even when i manually select a regular capital P, it appears like this. ANd, honestly, i shouldnt have to work around to get a simple capital letter. This is the first font that I've had this happen. Thanks.
  7. awesome @Michael117!! Really looking forward to working on my 2020 planner books. Maybe Publisher will have all the features for me this year, or certainly by 2021 to get my books EXACTLY the way i want them!!!
  8. Has anybody else had this problem with books? I've created another template that i wanted to resize, and IF i use master pages, then the applied pages will change. However, when i use the steps like this: 'File > Spread Setup...'. There you can choose if you want to apply the changes to 'Current Spread', 'All Spreads' or 'Selected Spreads'. You find these choices in the top left of the window. it only changes changes the page that i am "on" right now. Even when i select ALL SPREADS.
  9. Thank you Dominik! I still had to edit any stand alone pages (not part of spread, ie. first and last page) and master pages are unchanged, but all the master page content that was applied to main spreads DID resize as intended. Thanks very much!
  10. How do i change page size for all pages, i.e. if i created something in 6" x 9" but want to upsize to larger dimension, i.e. 8" x 10". This is what I'm going now: --> right click on page | spread properties --> Scaling tab -> select rescale and resample = bilinear (is that best choice? i think so, looks ok so far!) --> Dimensions tab -> edit dimensions settings and click OK. it is okay with a 3 page document but not a 100 page book!! Any faster way to batch this? (I've tried to edit settings for spreads and document but it only changes for the one page that is featured on my screen.) Also: let me know if i'm missing a thread. I've searched all the keywords i can think of, but am not finding anything about this! THANKS.
  11. i would be happy with any restrictions, such as requirements for identical properties or somehow going through a sync up review, similar to when we import a file with missing fonts, and we have to select preferred font. Any restrictions really, almost, i could work around, if we could just import masters into other documents. thanks for confirming that i'm not missing something obvious that already exists!
  12. I have two Publisher documents that I would like to merge, or certain pages (a whole document of regular pages, master pages or any variation) that I'd like to add / import from one into the other document. Again, any variation on it being a full Publisher document, a PDF or just master pages, but I'd like some way to re-use master pages without having to do a document A copy, open Document B to paste, then back to Document A to copy next master and back to Document B to paste ... times however many master pages etc that I have. Thanks!
  13. Thank you @v_kyr!!!! I'm looking for a solution using Publisher, and i think with all the beta iterations, it's getting closer and closer to a good calendar related solution!!!
  14. I'm lurking on all the threads where calendars are mentioned right now... adding my vote to a request for calendar functionality and tutorial/video in Publisher!!!
  15. I'm experiencing the same issue with a day planner interior (so, 365+ pages). Multiple hours (I think 2, or maybe more?) and there are no "pictures" or colors. Just lines and letters/numbers, and it is still hours! I've double checked settings, and they appear normal, but yeah it takes for.ever.
  16. How do I "flatten" all layers before exporting / PDF'ing so that I do not lose resolution? Problem: Sending 8.5x11 manuscript to Kindle (KDP) for print on demand (book). When using Export->PDF(print) some lines on diagram are not appearing in digital proof. When I use the Export->PDF(flatten) the resolution is too low / diagrams are pixelated. For example: PDF(print) is crisp PDF(flatten) is blurry
  17. Need to be able to export page range, not just "all pages" or "all spreads". When I select "current page" of a spread, I always get the left hand page, never the right hand page (which is the one that I want of course). I do have the right hand page selected in the pages panel, but still cannot get that one to print...
  18. @Wim Daniels Yes this is what I've been doing, but I (of course) want more... Some ability to move pages, whether through a copy/paste, import or anything really - even if it is just importing masters... I also wanted to be sure that I'm not missing something obvious and making more work for myself!! Thanks for confirming that my workaround is necessary. PS this is an amazing product. I am so grateful for the speed I'm working at right now, compared to what I'd be doing otherwise!
  19. Hi! When you say "mark", do you mean right-click-copy? Or select all-copy? <-- i've tried both but i am able to do a simple copy of text boxes / shapes from one page to another. Note: on the pages in question, I have a master applied and then multiple text boxes. I can copy/paste from one page to another page. I then have to recreate the master pages in the new document, but I guess that's okay. (I'd like to be able to export the masters but havent figured that out yet!) Ideally, I'd like to take several pages, copy the page and insert it into another document (so i dont have to create all new pages and then go 1:1 with the copying and pasting.) For now, I am PDF'ing both documents and then using IlovePDF to merge them! Not ideal, but possible... Does this make sense? THANKS for your reply and trying to help me figure this out.
  20. How can I insert pages from one AfPub document into another? I created two separate documents (long story), and now, other than copying and pasting for 50 pages, cannot see how to either merge or insert or even group copy and paste many pages. Am I missing something obvious? thanks.
  21. @gdenby wow, thanks for the suggestion. i'll need to google/search around a bit to fully understand all the features i'll need to use (admitted newbie here) but I'll work on that, and appreciate your spending time coming up with a possible solution and giving me a screenshot to work from in my further research! thanksagain
  22. Is there any way to get this variable data function to work in any affinity product - designer or photo? i do tshirt designs, so simple things like: in simplest iteration, change to generate output PNG files from just I love X to many options (using csv file list of X) i love cats / i love dogs / i love horses / i love etc etc etc here's the illustrator functionality: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/data-driven-graphics-templates-variables.html
  23. thank you for your reply. any chance you can provide the suggestion for the AD option? I have both AD and AP but am usually working in AD, so prefer solutions there so i dont have to hop back and forth. thank you for such detailed instructions and what must have taken some time to put together the steps and screenshots! I sincerely appreciate it! However, my amateur attempts to follow these steps look... amateur!!! Thank you so very much for trying to help me figure this out... I'll keep trying as I get better with the various drawing tools, and in the meanwhile I'll poke around and see if the AP options are faster, even if that means having to open and close the same file in each program to get them processed! Fingers crossed the AP option is easier... #learningcurve!!
  24. How can i make this text effect in Designer? I've had some suggestions from an Illustrator user but I don't know how to replicate what they've done. I've tried the Effects-Outer Shadow but can't get this crisp edge or the layers to "blend". "Glitter test" shows what I was able to do so far just using the Effects-Outer Shadow... help!
