Thanks for getting back to me. I usedsed to click drag drag handles to where I wanted the next line positioned and also used to alt click to 'half' the handles to have only one move which helped with the positioning of subsequent nodes. Just curious why these handles are now so feint that they hardly show yet if I click with node tool they are at full strength.
-
You can probably see the blue lines at left off page which only appear as I come off the page and disappear as soon as I come back onto the page. Hope this makes sense. Sorry didn't manage screen recording but this might explain my problem. Actually on closer inspection I have discovered that the blue lines do appear when I come back on to the page are there but are so feint the are almost invisible. Is there a way to strengthen them?

For some reason I cannot see pen tool blue handles on the document page but if I extend the path off the page they show up on the background but as soon as move back on to the page they disappear. On a finished pen path they will show when using the node tool . I don't recall this happening in the pas I am on current A/D and using a n iMac 24" Monterey 12.6

Many thanks for help with page number problem. I have no idea where that high 'space before' figure came from. Would it have been 'built in' to the rest of the tutorial?
Anyway thanks for the solution - I would never have discovered it.- Show previous comments 1 more

Possibly spoke to soon. On file I sent you I can get hash mark in correct position on left hand page but when I drag 'copy' over as soon as I cross into right page red eye again appears. Space before and after set to zero.
I am wondering if it is this file as I tried a new doc and page numbers work fine

Yes I had the problem of the three affinity programs crashing as soon as i pressed the print button. Finally realised that my mac iMac OS 10.9.5 (Which I didn't update as it could still handle the Adobe CS6 software) was not coping with Affinity. I use it now on a laptop OS 12.6 Sierra and it all works fine. Hope this helps. I now fairly familiar with Publisher and think that it has a lot more going for it than my CS6 copy of InDesign

Success! Grateful thanks for restoring my sanity. I certainly thought that page numbers were required here. Why have it when leaving blank is the answer. Tried other files and got usable PDF files from them too. Affinity should have you on the payroll. Johnson

On PDF options only page 1 appears ( in both AP and preview) and therefore the load pages and load all pages are unavailable. It seem that of the 6 trial pages in my file only one is being copied as a PDF. Simplest six page file was created in the usual way thru the AP new doc procedure.
-
yes the file is created with AP 1.9.3 on a Macpro OS 10.12.6. I export from AP and have tried using both pages and spreads in Export. I have tried this with two different AP created docs and when I try to open the PDF using AP only one page opens.
Although I am trying to catch up with AP I am not a novice on the Adobe CS6 suite and use their PDF faciliities constantly.
-
have tried all pages all spreads with same result

When I export a publisher file as a PDF it appears to copy OK but when I open the PDF only the first page appears. I must be doing something stupid as I have tried different files with same result

Drop Down figures
jonnsin replied to jonnsin's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks for your help but after a lot of trial and error ( and wasted time) I have found that despite Affinity's claim of being OK for Mac OS10.9 this is not strictly accurate. I have been working with an iMac 10.9.5 (because I still need access to Adobe CS6 and like the bigger screen) and am finding Affinity items that this mac cannot handle. Much of it seems to work OK but so far all para indents are a no go and it seems to be likewise with trying to get double digits with the drop down facility. Possibly other things will emerge in future. I have installed Af Pub on another laptop with OS 10.11.6 and Drop Downs and Para indents operate correctly. Sorry for having wasted your time guys -
Re the sequentially numbered series of boxes in the new Affinity Publisher book article 'A Character design in Photo', page 244, I can get numbers 1-9 OK but despite HOURS of trying I cannot get no 10 etc. I was sure that I am following the instructions carefully but always end up with the blue figure one at the correct 3 line height but second figure has not changed at all. I am obviously doing something wrong as I managed it once, I suppose my accident, as i could not but could not repeat the moves I had made.
-
Yes I am using the spacing section. I think it must be a Mac os10.9 issue as everything works OK on another laptop with OS 10.11

Just discovered that paragraph indents don't appear to work with Mac 10.9.5. Just when I was galloping ahead with the new Publisher book too. Maybe more surprises to follow. Is their a workaround for this?

Text Styles
jonnsin replied to jonnsin's topic in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Thanks to Joachim L and Walt Farrell for their prompt and spot on replies. All I can say is "why didn't I think of that". Must take off my Affinity rose coloured spectacles. I think that Indesign text styles works better or maybe I am just used to it. Anyway well done guys that solves my problem.. jonnsin -
I am using a text styles page set up for a magazine and have added a text wrapped cut out head within the base text quite successfully but I am unable to add a caption to this photograph. How do I manage this? Jonnsin

Text on a shape path no longer works for me
jonnsin replied to jonnsin's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Thanks again Thomaso. Everything now on Macbook. All issues , including printing solved. Must have all been down to the old OS system on IiMac. Now have to face the upgrade but at least if it doesn't work I have an alternative and a bit of time to get it right. Johnnsin -
Text on a shape path no longer works for me
jonnsin replied to jonnsin's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Hi thomaso, Have established that the text on shape problem definitely stems from my 10.9.5 system as downloaded Publisher on to my wife's macbook (El Capitain) and it works OK. Pity I can't download Photo and Designer but they were purchased when you could only get them from the App store and although my wife and I have the same email address we have different App Store log in numbers. Anyway it looks as if I will have to bite the bullet and upgrade my iMac as you suggested. There seems to be plenty of info on the web to assist with this. Thank you you all the trouble you have taken to help me with this it is greatly appreciated. Jonnsin -
Text on a shape path no longer works for me
jonnsin replied to jonnsin's topic in V1 Bugs found on macOS
Thanks for all the info Thomaso. Might try the upgrade in stages from Yosemite onwards -
Downloaded latest publisher upgrade. Can create text on a pen path but no longer on a shape path. Have to force quit as Publisher hangs. Also Publisher still crashes when I try to print on any of a choice of 4 printers. Have to convert to PDF to obtain printed copy I am still on Mac 10.9.5. Reluctant to upgrade OS in case I lose Adobe CS6 as I still use many inDesign files which I cannot do without Jonnsin

Thanks tomaso for PDF advice – jetz ist alles klar. Still a bit wary of upgrading to Sierra. A friend went from Mavericks to Sierra and Photoshop, inDesign etc went all to hell.

Thanks for getting in touch Paul. Regarding PDFs and printing issue. I still use Adobe as I cannot dump CS6 yet. I require press quality PDFs for the commercial printing of a magazine and also "smallest size PDFs of same files for Web. Can I vary the output quality required using Affinity. Also handy if I can convert RGB PDFs to grayscale or can anyone suggest a PDF program similar to Adobe Pro that will work with Mavericks 10.9.5. (no use telling me to upgrade or I will lose CS6 which I need to open old inDesign files).

Affinity Publisher keeps crashing when I try to print. Have tried three printers. Occasionally will print perfectly but sometimes crashes as soon as i click print. It is the only program on my machine that does this. I have an iMac 10.9.5 which I cannot upgrade as I use Adobe CS6 which I am stuck with until I am confident with the Affinity Suite and it works OK. Photo and Designer OK. If I convert to PDF Publisher prints OK. Have attached crash report. Any suggestions. Nothing too technical, I know nothing about programing Affinity Publisher_2019-06-29-135532_johns-iMac.crash
