[Over flowing text boxes]

thanks - is there a way of setting this as standard for all new text boxes that i create 

[Over flowing text boxes]

I am working on a project at the moment which was started by a pdf import.

The text boxes allow the overflowed text to still be visible, but the new text boxes i create do not. Is there a setting somewhere you can point me to?

[very often crashes]

unfortunately, crashing is one of the few features that has been carried across from the pageplus suite.

I find the only way to prevent crashing is to stick with one document at a time, never try to do two things at once.

if it does crash, a full re-boot of the computer is the best way to (hopefully) open the document without further crashes.

[Corrupted File]

Has anyone got any insight into what is causing files to become corrupt? I have just had a one pager which had a couple of images and text - and that would not open as 'file is corrupt'

Its a worry as i am also working on a 128 page catalogue and i really dont want that one to become corrupt.

that will work for a small publication, now i have 300+ images.... lots of clickin

also on my catalog resource i have to many images that i wont use in final version, and packege (like indesign) helps me to create/save final draft with all files that i use. rest is for backup/delete

a workaround for this (as a one off) would be to save as high res pdf and then open that PDF in publisher. All the images would then be embedded.

Kind of correct — Serif as a company has moved on to the Affinity range and PP is not developed / updated any more. No reason, not to use the software if you like it and it does what you want it to do, as long as your computer runs it, though.

Yes - clearly they have move on to the affinity range. 

My point was that the bigger reason behind that was because the brains behind PP left for pastures new.

Why don't you continue using PagePlus?

I get the feeling the key people behind PP are no longer with the business. 

An alternative (and better option) might be to create an export from PP (rather than an import into Publisher) - either way, its unlikely. I ended up importing PDFs into publisher, which was not ideal, but after a few weeks, i got all the documents cleaned up.

[RGB image from CMYK doc]

oops i stand corrected. I need to change 'pixel format' before it allows me to see the rgb colour profiles.

[RGB image from CMYK doc]

Hi Jon,

I am just trying to export an image as a jpg basically. But a cmyk publisher document is only offering me CMYK colour profiles.

[RGB image from CMYK doc]

I cant export an RGB image from a CMYK document. Something i need to do a lot given my client needs media in both print and web. I edit the images in a cmyk doc and currently need to copy and paste them into a new RGB doc before i can export in RGB

[Publisher quit unexpectedly without reporting any errors]

i have a 128 page catalogue which (as you can imagine) is full of high res images. 

I get occasional crashes, but most of the time it is quick without any lag. The original doc was a pdf import (from page plus days) so all images are now embedded. File size is currently 1.15 gig

 

[selection brush tool error (double page spreads)]

any solution to this?

Edit -> Paste Without Format

great - didnt see that.

[Failed to save document....!!! need a fix asap!]

Can you select the logo wall (of many images) and convert to a single image - a work around, but would be a quick fix.

Just a thought until there is a preflight panel  - in terms of tracking down the culprit text-frames, if you do 'view > zoom > zoom to document' - no matter how many pages you have, you will zoom out to see thumbnails of all pages at once - the little red alert dots do NOT scale down with the thumbnail, so it's really easy to spy which page(s) have overflowing text (assuming as above, that you have 'show text flow' enabled and are not in preview mode)

You legend! This worked. Thank you very much.

[Overflowing Text Frames]

I have a 128 page document which i am  now told has overflowing text. I have gone page by page over 3 times and i cannot see any overflowing text at all. 

It seems totally ridiculous to have software that tells us there is overflowing text, but keeps it a secret where it has found it.

[text box defaults]

reset formatting doesn't reset anything for me either...

[text box defaults]

indeed. another example of this is something that pageplus had which was 'clear text formatting' which, when a text box was selected and you clicked it, instantly returned all the text to default setting again

[Publisher text box issue help]

paste as plain text should be an option - i am finding that a lot of text boxes some how automatically change settings (like random positioning and transform settings).

[selection brush tool error (double page spreads)]

I am finding that i still have to drag most images across to the left side of the double page spread if i want to use selection brush. Occasionally, it allows me to do it on the right side and i am finding that (when it allows me) it tends to be small file size images that work.

[text box defaults]

I am finding that, when ever i make a change to a text box, the next text box i create includes those changes too - i would think it much more logical for each new text box to have 'default' settings - as i often have to customise text styles in different ways on the same page.

 

[SERIOUS problem with random corrupt files]

I migrated from pageplus to publisher, so a lot of my publisher files are very large (based on the fact they were opened pdf files and then manually converted to publisher).

Some of my files are 900mb in size with 140 pages and embedded images (rather than linked) and so far, it has worked without issue. I save regularly and create pdf versions regularly (in case of future corruption) but have not needed to recover any so far...

I use publisher every day on a dell - and never have any of the issues you mention. I know this doesnt specifically help you, but its to demonstrate this might be a local issue rather than a programming issue.

[Affinity Publisher for macOS - 1.7.2]

glad we are all clear on this now.

[SERIOUS problem with random corrupt files]

i assume you have tried to save files to a local drive (rather than a server location)?

I sometimes get a save error, but that is because the office shared servers have been set up badly - and give permission errors occasionally...
