I am trying to set up a document size that prints to a letter size paper in landscape front and back. My booklet size will be 4" X 6" for an individual page. With 1/4 inch margins on all sides. I set that up and then set up a footer in Master A. Started flowing a page of my 23 page document into the template. Did the autoflow for it to add pages. I wrote all my text styles and applied. I then choose print and create booklet It "thnks" for a schosh and then comes back with a Printer workflow error and quits. Any ideas on that? Im not trying to KDP or Amazon print Just in house for my church work. The publisher file and the Word file are included. Oh, this is in Version 2 latest update When-the-books-were-opened-2.afpub When the Books Were Opened(notstyles).docx

Hi I am trying to create some booklets pages are 4 inch by 6 inch. Have all flowed in. When I try to create a booklet (facing pages) so I can self publish. I get a Print workflow error and stops. Any ideas about this one? Macmikeal (at) mac (dot) com. The problem file is attached. When-the-Books-Were-Opened.afpub

I agree. But thought relating this bug might get the software mates ahead of the 8ball on this one. I did send the Apple mates a bug report as well. Cheerio!

I just installed. Mac OS 13 I think called Ventura 13.0. When I try to take a Document created using OS13 in Publisher and Export it as a PNG or PDF the program crashes and quits. I take the same file to a computer running Catalina OS12 and it works fine. Also the same thing happens in Photo.

How about a YouTube video to show how to set up a Loupedeck any model for use with Affinity?

Question I have several Indd files I created in Adobe Indesign CS6. I don’t have access to CS6 anymore is there any way to batch a conversion over to Affinity Publisher?

Anyone using Photo or Designer to create your graphic resources for OBS? If so would love to hear from you especially doing lower third and thumbnail files. Dr. Mike

I finally figured out the grids I think. I will have to figure out how to get everything on different layers. One thing I miss here is on Swift Publisher if I hold the left mouse button in the upper right corner of the card and slide down through the card to the right I can select everything on the card and then group it all copy and paste move the copy to the right margin. Here I had to do a select everything copy and then move it never put everything in a group by itself. I was confused on group that I saw in the menu at the top turns out that was layer grouping like in Photoshop. I think it can do the job. Here one of sets I did for a template this one is double my template usually has the one on the right where I can modify copy and move a copy to the right side. 3-125X6-25_Notecards-Affinity_Publisher.afpub

The arrangement all went squirrelly. The Internet Notecard is titled Forgiveness. Has printing instructions. The other one is a sample of the template I modify the left card. Group all together then copy and pasted the card to the right side. On both sides. The one title David's Greatest Victory is an example of the final product. Find any mistakes this was before final edit. Thanks, Dr. Mike

Here are some examples of Notecards I do for each Sunday's lesson. I started out, years ago doing these in Adobe Indesign, was teaching Adobe products at Purdue so had access that was the CS6 days. With the days of subscription software I looked for other ways to do the work. I came up with using Swift Publisher. It works ok. I just wanted a plan B and set up the templates for using in Affinity Publisher I get bored in Swift Publisher. What you can't see are the .125 inch grids in the background, I think I put them on what they refer to as a background layer so they don't print or save when I put them up on the internet, that help me line up text boxes and graphics. The one with only one notecard to the page is my template I use when I export out to a PDF so someone can go to my website and print one out and then be able to listen to the sermon and fill in the notecard. It is one notecard with printing instructions at the bottom. My local audience loves getting them. What I am trying to do is set the grid up. I will then be able to go in and make the individual templates to the various sizes. My naming convention for the templates go along with the size of the individual notecard example 3-125X6-25_Notecard would be one of dimensions of 3 1/2 inch wide by 6 1/4 inch length. I will also include a couple of others. The last will be the card I will be giving my local audience in the morning. There are 2 notecards to a page and I cut them out individually.

Just uploaded some more made in Photoshop I have problems working in Affinity Photo. Might be the same issue you have pointed out before. Hope can get these to work. Hope we can eventually get that type of workflow to work in Affinity Photo sure saves a bunch of time.

MEB - I just uploaded the Gold_Effect_1.psd through the Upload Link as well as the Affinity Photo styles I created from a lot of my styles I had made in Photoshop over the past 30 years. Anyway the problem in the styles is that the Font type and size come into the style as well. All I need are the effects independent of the font used and size. A lot of them are putting the font down to 12 point size.

Maybe this will work here is the file Gold_Effect_1 compressed. Hope you see this. If you open in Photoshop you will notice there is a smart object that says click here for text. That will open another file you type your text you want save it and then close the file go back to Gold_Effect_1 and your text is in there. That will not work in Affinity Photo either. Gold_Effect_1.PSD.zip

Ok will do it might be in the upload link from earlier. I think it was named Gold_1.png had Las Vegas as text

Here is the God file with the Smart object that doesn't seem to work. In PS there is a layer you double click opens another file you type your text in save it go back and the style is there with your text.Gold_Effect_1.PSD
