Instead of exporting to a PDF, which does create a huge file, try going to 'Print' and then print to a PDF (a feature in Windows, or you can download free apps to create this option.). I've done this with another program, and have gotten a much smaller file. eg 40MG instead of 200+MG.

@Patrick ConnorI use Serif programs (among others PagePlus), but I am convinced that there is nothing to be afraid of the new opening. After today's show I am sure that the company will grow continuously And you will find man-hours for the Polish version - there are many Poles in the UK who know English, someone with a good language and knowledge from the industry will finally join. Maybe some incomplete support (without translation of documentation and similar) - just good language support (checking grammar and Polish interface) would be a big thing.

NEW FEATURES in Affinity Designer 2
These are some of the most important new features in Affinity Designer V2   Vector Warp This hugely powerful and highly requested addition allows you to apply a non-destructive warp over any vector artwork or text. Choose between a fully customisable mesh, or use presets including arcs, perspective, fisheye and twists. Editing a warp gives a super-fast live preview, even on complex illustrations, and gives a true vector end result.
   
  Shape Builder Tool Add and subtract shapes and segments in a much easier, more interactive way. Quickly create complex shapes by simply dragging between segments to combine or holding a modifier to subtract.
 
  Knife Tool Slice any shape, curve or text into component parts faster than ever. A stabiliser provides even greater precision and scissor functionality allows you to click on any node or segment of a curve and split it.
 
  Measure Tool and Area Tool Easily measure line lengths, segments, distances and areas of any objects to scale. The Measure Tool allows you to measure the distance between two points/objects, while the Area Tool allows you to determine the area, perimeter and any segment length of a closed shape.
 
  DWG/DXF Import Import and edit AutoCAD and DXF files quickly and accurately, maintaining the layer structure and scale of the original file.
With functions like Multi Layer Import, Colour Override and Auto-scale, import quality is second to none.
   
  X-Ray View A new view mode shows the makeup of your work, which is particularly useful for selecting a specific curve or object within a complex artwork.
 

NEW FEATURES in Affinity Publisher 2
These are some of the most important new features in Affinity Publisher 2
 
Books Combine separate Publisher documents as chapters to create one long publication, automatically syncing page numbers, table of contents, indexes and styles throughout—an especially useful feature for collaboration, as contributors can work on their own sections individually before bringing it all together. Available in desktop version only.
 
  Footnotes, endnotes and sidenotes Easily add academic style notes or references to sections of text.
 
  Place Auto-flow Create a single layout that automatically repeats across your document until all desired images are accommodated. Plus, with the ability to choose a repeat count for images, you can set up advanced templates so that in the future you can instantly produce multiple variants in only a few clicks.
 
  Linked File Layer Visibility Override Turn any layers on or off from within placed files, including PSD, PDF, DWG, DXF and other Affinity documents without losing the integrity of the link. Even if the source file is changed, your layer visibility settings will be maintained.
 
  DWG/DXF Place Place DXF or DWG files into your Affinity Publisher publications.
Style Picker Tool Pick style of any object or text on your page and drop it onto any other objects or passages of text easily (desktop only).
Performance The handling of memory for large documents, particularly with lots of large placed files and images, has been reengineered, resulting in significant performance improvements.

We are pleased to announce an update for the Windows release of Affinity Publisher, version 1.10.5
The detailed changes in Affinity Publisher for Windows 1.10.5 over the release build Affinity Publisher for Windows 1.10.4 are as follows:

Import document user details, metadata and text variables from IDML files. Improved IDML picture frame fitting. Help & localisation improvements. The major improvements in 1.10 are listed in some detail in this 1.10.0 Publisher Windows update announcement 
 
UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (Free for existing customers)
The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in Help > About Affinity Publisher).
If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the Affinity Store software it will check for updates and offer any available update. The latest update will install over the top of any earlier version, with no need to uninstall. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "Download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Publisher for Windows) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Windows Store purchases and needs a product key).
If you’ve purchased from the Microsoft Store— Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.

I don't remember setting it up, but this is it. You have a keen eye and knowledge. Thank you very much!

There are values in the Paragraph panel for "Left indent" and "First line indent" that are not needed / too big resp. the values are bigger than the text frame itself.
