The diagonal of a document with those dimensions is about 150 feet, so the typical viewing distance is going to be enormous and 144 DPI is a huge waste of pixels.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Drye08. Which Affinity app(s) do you have, and what is your operating system? What are the make and model of your printer? You should be able to use a tiling option to split up your large drawing into overlapping pieces for printing on a smaller sheet size.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Reckonyx. It’s possible, but it’s far from straightforward! Edit: Oops, sorry, I see that you’re using Photo (which doesn’t have an Appearance panel). I don’t think it’s possible to do what you want if you don’t have Designer, other than by duplicating the stroke and carefully adjusting the dashes and gaps to fit in with the original stroke.

That correction should fix the resolution problem, unless you’re using the term “resolution” to refer to something else. Clarity will depend, at least in part, on the resampling method used: for enlargements, try Lanczos3 or bicubic.

The aspect ratios are different. For the smaller image to have the same aspect ratio as the larger one, the short side would need to be 495 pixels, not 463.

It’s by design that you can’t long-press with an Apple Pencil for this functionality in the Affinity apps. I believe it’s something to do with tolerance issues.

I’m not MikeW (obviously!) but Peter Kahrel’s free scripts are readily available online. https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/batch_convert.html

Is it really ‘afub’ or did you lose the ‘p’ from the filename extension when composing your message? Can you open the file if you copy or move it to a different location?

Adobe has disabled support for authoring with Type 1 fonts. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/fonts/kb/postscript-type-1-fonts-end-of-support.html

Please try to dissuade those who belong to the first group! I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that 18-¼ looks like a subtraction (=17¾). I suspect there are too many occurrences of the word ‘not’ in there. Anyway, if you’re looking for stacking or ‘nut’ fractions then you need to find a font that includes support for them.

That’s a statement of your opinion, not a description of a bug. This thread belongs in the Feedback section of these forums.

How do you determine what should be regarded as ‘intuitive’? In any specialist field there is jargon that simply has to be learned, and it seems to me that tracking and kerning are pretty basic concepts here.

Can the Affinity apps open PDFs created according to the PDF/A specification? Exporting such PDFs from the Affinity apps isn’t currently possible, as far as I’m aware.

Your licence is for version 1, not version 1.x, so you are free to choose any version up to and including 1.10.6. Available Publisher downloads go back as far as 1.7.1, and available Photo and Designer downloads go all the way back to 1.6.5. https://store.serif.com/update/windows/designer/1 https://store.serif.com/update/windows/photo/1 https://store.serif.com/update/windows/publisher/1

Or perhaps instead of just AFD (etc) on this site, you could try searching for "tags=AFD" site:forum.affinity.serif.com

Furthermore, QA/Support staff can and do add bug-tracking issue numbers as topic tags for the forums threads where those bugs are reported and discussed, making it possible to do a tag search to find related threads.

In addition to the questions that @firstdefence has asked, have you tried exporting to PDF? You could then print the resultant file from a PDF viewer if (and only if) it looks correct when opened there.

If you know you got it direct from Serif, you don’t need to remember exactly how you got it. The important point is that you didn’t get it via the Microsoft Store, so the Affinity Store is the correct place to look.

The following link will take you directly to the ‘Downloads & product keys’ page (via the sign-in page if you aren’t already signed in): https://store.serif.com/account/downloads

I find that the quickest way to get to my Affinity Store account is to begin by typing affinity.store into my browser’s address/location bar. The store’s home page has a set of icons in the top right-hand corner, the leftmost one of which (head and shoulders in a circle) takes me to the sign-in page.

If it’s graphics for a game it’s presumably 48x48 pixels on screen, so where does 72dpi come into it?

Create a Letter size document, place or paste your 5″ × 3″ image in the middle of it, and then simply print the entire page.

It’s quite straightforward on Windows, too!
