Thank you, I have uploaded the package file now.

Hi @Gabe, I too must apologise for the slow reply - although by luck it seems I have come back to this just as v1.9 with "Save As Package" has been released, so I've been able to package up the project I shared the photos of with all its dozens of images! However the Dropbox link you shared has now expired. Are you able to create me another Dropbox request link please? Thanks! Paul

I am fairly regularly seeing a problem with printing from Affinity Publisher on my Canon printer. The document mostly prints OK but certain images - possibly rotated ones, overlapping ones and/or transparent-backgrounded ones - have strange omitted portions on the resultant print. It's definitely a Publisher issue, because when I export to PDF and print exactly the same document from Acrobat, the issues are not present. I have known this to happen across several versions of Publisher over a fairly long period (possibly as long as Publisher has been around) but not got around to logging it as a bug until now (sorry!). I've attached some images of it happening on a recent print-out. All three of the rectangular images (which are non-transparent PNG files placed into the document and then rotated to various angles into a sort of collage of overlapping images) should be whole rectangles but two have corners cut off and one has a very weird triangular omission which I've not seen before. Is there anything further I can share by way of assisting with investigating and resolving this bug? Thanks!

Sorry to drag this thread back up from the dead but I have had this experience quite a lot and it's extremely frustrating, I have wasted so many nice bits of glossy card etc., it's genuinely getting quite expensive because you never know when it'll strike! (It is consistent with the same documents if re-tried though.) I too have a Canon printer (iP8700 series), but I do not see this issue with anything other than Affinity. Like the original poster above, I see lines appearing at the outer edges (crop boundary) of certain images when printed, which are not present on the design. The only fix I have found is exporting the file as a PDF (uncompressed so I don't lose quality) and printing from that. Again, this appears to confirm that the problem is with Affinity's printing process itself, since I'm literally printing the same text and graphics to the same printer but from a PDF and they then come out fine. Is there a way to formally raise this as a bug that needs resolving or is this forum that place? Thanks very much, Paul

Serif keep saying they're not going to offer an import from their own legacy product's format because the new product doesn't share any codebase with it, yet they are planning to offer import from products like InDesign, whose code base they don't even have access to, let alone share? Their excuse for not offering an import from PagePlus, when their developers know and fully understand (and created!) the PPP file format and the Affinity Publisher software, simply doesn't make sense. I hope they change their minds.

I think most of us long-time PagePlus users would understand and accept that limitation, but still welcome an importer which converted all the many types of object that do have Affinity replicas.

Just wanted to echo this request - even if it's just a basic one-direction conversion process, I think this would be a real boon for those of us with huge libraries of PagePlus documents we want to continue working on in the future as Affinity Publisher evolves and improves. Thanks for considering it!
