Thank you. It reassures me that I did nothing wrong. And we hope Apple can fix it soon. Until then, unfortunately, I'll be using Adobe Acrobat Reader for checking PDF after export from Affinity Publisher.

Ok allright, thanks. Here's a 'fake' document with text (and used fonts) that dissappear when I open in macOS Sequoia. Untitled.pdf

Hi Affinity team, I’m running into an issue where PDFs exported from Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 on macOS Sequoia are not displaying any text when viewed in Preview or Quick Look. However, the exact same files do show the text correctly when: Opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader Viewed on an older iMac (2015) running an older macOS version Or exported from that older iMac with the same fonts and settings So far, I’ve confirmed: Same Affinity Publisher version (2.6.3) on both Macs Font in use: Gotham XLight, installed and verified on both systems Export settings: PDF, RGB color, 192 DPI, “embed all fonts” and “subset fonts” Behavior: On macOS Sequoia (Apple M3 chip), exported PDFs appear blank in Preview (text missing). But the text is definitely there: when opened in Acrobat Reader, everything looks fine. If I move the same file to my older Mac, it displays as expected in Preview too. Conclusion: It seems this issue is specific to macOS Sequoia's PDF rendering (Preview/Quick Look), not Affinity itself — since the export works and the text is embedded correctly. But I’m reporting it here in case: Others experience the same issue You’re in touch with Apple and can help push a fix or workaround There's anything else I should try in Affinity settings Happy to send sample files if needed. Thanks in advance for your help and amazing software!

I agree with you.

Agree with @GRAFKOM. So, thanks to other writers above, I learn from you! But It was easy to click on buttons within 'Typography', not only the (small)capital, but also other functions there. For software developers; Perhaps is an idea for future version to customize those items in the panel, just like custimable Toolbar/Tools? I never use Language and Optical Alignment for example.

While I'm happy with the big update to 2.6, I'm unhappy with moving 'Typography' down in Character Panel, which forces me to close all the others first. Why? Is there any other quick solution for 13" macbook to select capitals/small caps? See image for what I mean.

Very nice!!!!

For first: Thanks to all responders for all the answers. Educational. On average about the artwork in Publishers; Often 'just' posters and flyers, very occasionally books and manuals. I work with iMac 27" Late 2015 with 24GB on-board (and SSD) and Macbook Air 13" 2015 with 8GB. Both devices work well, but it is a good idea to look ahead. iMac 24” + MBA 13” M3 or iMac 24” + iPad Air 13” with keyboard/pencil (same budget). I think so it’s better to buy a MBA 13” (16GB), maybe with refurbished iPad Air 2022 and pencil for drawings and others. Anyone else who worked with iMac 27” for a long time and now works with 24” iMac with Affinity? Yes, Apple doesn't make it easy for us. I have difficulty with the idea of going from 27" to 24" if I choose that iMac, but that is not relevant to this topic.

I'm in doubt whether to buy between the newest iPad 13" and the Macbook 13". How does anyone like Affinity Publisher on iPad? And the rest of the suite. (at office, I work with iMac 27")

I really hope that Canva never applies their pricing model to Affinity... It's actually quite a shame that they haven't learned from the history of other software. Thinking of Aldus Pagemaker in the late 80s, acquired by Adobe = it no longer exists shortly afterwards, and there are many more that could no longer keep the name and identity afterwards.

Same here, I want to standard turn off off the generating preview panel like the example above from Gokhan Eser. I've this problem too with documents with many layers, size or pages. And, Clicking on Export button immediately does not always work or I want adjust file format or sizes. Then preview will reload. Why do I want the turn off option? Sometimes you don't need to see/check preview again after a small correction in document. Or… I want to fill in the export settings properly first, after that preview can be generated.

And... I want adding 'FILE NAME' to list 'Variable'. (for example: each event, each file = within several artboards export with [filename]_[slice name].

YESSSS 🤩

I don't think it is as a hobby of Affinity Team. I am very satisfied with Affinity studio (suite) on my Macs. If Publisher comes out on iPad, then maybe I can buy an iPad Pro 12.9". Dear Affinity, what is the progress of development Publisher for iPad OS?
