I have an exported PDF which takes quite some time to display. My suspicion is because of a magnifier glass graphic we use, which is made of many elements. However, I don't think that our layout belongs to the most complex on the planet.
I'm wondering if I can tune the PDF export somehow? Or is there a way to simplify our graphic?
Here is the PDF: https://www.saphirion.com/files/nlpp-performance-experience_flyer_web_en.pdf
Any suggestions welcome.

I added this PNG to a Publisher document and want to get rid of the white color. Not sure how to do that.
* Can I replace the white color through the grey one?
* Can I fill the white area with grey?
* Can I make white transparent?
And how to do it? I tried using Designer and Pixel persona and fill => nothing happens... I'm not an export, but a simple pixel editor behavior would help a lot.

Still missing feature in V2? 😡
Most importantly: Allow me to set a filename per page.
Use-Case: I have a flyer document with multiple pages, each page one flyer, need to get 1..N PDF, one for each flyer with one click.

1. Problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mskmkcdiovuz4xo/Bildschirmaufnahme 2020-05-06 um 17.06.12.mov?dl=0
2. Here it works, and you see the pipette I use: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t31fqs7b8n9735e/Bildschirmaufnahme 2020-05-06 um 17.06.35.mov?dl=0

Just try it... there is nothing more to say about this problem at the moment. If it's specific to my setup than we will see what's needed.

+1 this is a simple and basic missing features, especially in the pixel persona.

I think the AD and Omnigraffle have a different target audience but overall they share a lot of functionality. I prefer less tool than more and hence, are there are any plans to extend AD into the visio/omnigraffle direction and add features for diagrams? Being able to mix these with real graphic design stuff makes IMO a lot of sense.

Additional: I know I can use the "convert Text to curves" option in SVG export. This gives a bit bigger files but I would like to know how to do it while keeping the font specification active.

Hi, I have a graphic that uses graphic-text (the icon A) with the Google Font "Lobster". I export the graphic as SVG and use it inside a web-page (see first two graphics at http://test.saphirion.com/nlpp.html )
The problem is, that the lobster font isn't always displayed. The web-page itself loads the lobster font-family with:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet">
But it seems this isn't carried over to an SVG element in a web-page. Further, it seems that the correct way to use a special font in an SVG element is:
<defs> <style type="text/css">@import url('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster');</style> </defs>
But how do I get this into the exported SVG of Affinity? I don't want to post-process the files.

What's the difference between "layer name" and "original layer name"? Where can I see them within Affinity?

@PixelSnader Thanks a lot! Ok, I go it... RTFM

Hi, I'm using many artboards and find it very annoying that I have to go to the scrollers to move the canvas around. I would like to do this with the cursor keys. As long is nothing is selected the canvas should be moved.

Thanks, going to try the copy & paste from embedded doc approach.

Hi, I'm using artboards in a document that contains all my graphics for our web-site. On the web we use SVG. Hence, I drag & drop some SVG files into AD and export from there. When adding an SVG via drag & drop, it gets added to the artboard as [Embedded document].
Some questions:
- How can I copy such a thing? When I do it the normal way and I edit the copy, the original gets changed too.
- Is there a way I can convert the embedded document into a normal group?
- Any documentation available about embedded documents? How to best edit these etc.?
- How can I copy such a thing? When I do it the normal way and I edit the copy, the original gets changed too.

Ok, great & thanks.
BTW, I think features that better support toolchains like Javascript, CSS, etc. are still pretty unique for graphic programs. So, go for it :-)
-
Especially things like "pointer-events" when working with groups would make sense. Or CSS classes, so that one can reference and specify behaviour via CSS stylesheets.
-
Ok, this is the same questions as mine: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/38523-svg-export-attributes-etc-and-javascript-access/
Are there are any plans to add a feature to name by class or ID, or specify more attributes per layer? IMO very important these days.
-
I'm using AD to create graphics and then export them to SVG format.
When working with named layers those layers get exported with an ID set to the name, so it's easy to reference the group from Javascript. Perfect.
But SVG format has a lot of different attributes that can be used. How can I add or specify such values so that these get correctly exported into the SVG file?
-
Ok, will try. But why aren't "width" and "height" are added automatically on export?
-
Did you run a DIFF on the two files? This should give you an idea what every tool sees different.
-
Sure, makes sense. Sorry. The test site is here: http://test.saphirion.com
The last banner which is shown correctly in Chrome but not in Apple preview.app:

Hmm... interestingly I saw the effect (showing out of slice content) in Apple preview app but not in an other tool. Could it be, that SVG rendering results are pretty dependent on the tool used?

Is there no way how to optimize the vector graphics in a PDF so that it loads faster?
