I agree with tsp1965. Pre-press tools are going to be the make or break Affinity Publisher for all the Quark and InDesign peeps looking for an alternative. These are crucial to our work for press. Without them no matter how good the application it becomes pointless without them. Most of my print work requires specific me to output pdfs with particular options and profiles so I can get the highest quality result for the stock off the press. I would like to see a little more flexibility in the pdf output options and the ability to import pdf settings and press profiles that come from printers and standards organisations. Some publishers wont accept files that don't meet their profile standards, or if they do they just apply their profiles to them, meaning I have no control over the result. This is a new app so maybe I haven't quite got my head around it yet.

To resize objects proportionally click and drag holding down the shift key. With a group of objects the resize them proportionally click and drag holding down the option key A small but important UI issue. It should be the same for all. Otherwise the user has to consciously choose, interrupting workflow.
