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.

Even with that correction, I can get the same resolution and clarity.
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.

Tree Health Letter-1-22-23.afub
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?

Affinity has known problems with Postscript Type 1 fonts.
Adobe has disabled support for authoring with Type 1 fonts.

Some customers want a hyphen between integer and fraction, and other customers do not want any hyphens, so I need to be able to configure both.
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.

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

Affinity can open PDFs created by any app.
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.

Or perhaps instead of just AFD (etc) on this site, you could try searching for

The people's who are fixing the bugs are not looking for them in the forums. They are using the internal bug-tracking system, where the QA/Support team who monitor the forums have logged them.
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.

I know I got it direct from Serif.
I just do not remember the modalities of how I got it from Serif.
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.

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.
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):

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

"I'd like Letter size, but the print should be 5"x3" in the middle of that page"
Create a Letter size document, place or paste your 5″ × 3″ image in the middle of it, and then simply print the entire page.

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.
