Yep all good now thanks for your help!

Just looked online & found the fields box & deleted the old name ...thanks Joachim!

Thanks for the quick reply Joachim but where do i find Document Information ...i can see Document Set up?! I also don't seem to have a search box to ask in the Help dropdown?

Hello team My company has a brochure created in Affinity Publisher on a PC using Windows 10. When we first bought Affinity (firstly the Beta testing version & then the official release) i worked on it I just called it "Affinity Test Brochure" Now (several versions along) it's called 12G-SDI-4K-Brochure-ENG_V2-4-b We created a PDF & have had it printed which look great, then today we created a lower res version to put online (attached pdf) The pdf looked fine but then we noticed when we uploaded it to our website & opened it (see attached jpeg) altho the hyperlink is correct in the top left hand corner it says Affinity Test Brochure! Do you have any ideas as to why that comes up? Cheers Pete 12G-SDI-4K-Brochure-ENG_V2-4-b.pdf

Hello Thomaso Thanks for the reply but i can't even see the search box on my screen!

There is no Document menu to look at!

Sorry again but where is the Resize Dialog?? ...when i click to export i get this ...

Just found the "transparent background button" in Document Set up & that solves my problem ...sorry i hadn't seen that before! Thanks very much for your help but again can you explain please ... I have a 4800mm x 2800mm image in Designer & want to export it full size as a PNG (with transparency) to send to our customer. When i click the export button all i get is a pixel size option & if i make that smaller then my image gets smaller. How can i send a 4800mm x 2800mm image with less pixels?

I'm exporting as a PNG ...hence my first question! Te actual full size image is a 4.8 metre x 2.8 metre ..but i need the white area to be transparent!

Can you also explain why the transparency is not working I have attached the image & the white are should be transparent The green & blue is a bar of colour across the top & everything on the right hand side finishes halfway across so the whole of the left hand white section should be transparent! I am new to Affinity & working on artboards which i have never done that before. I need to send a tranparent image to a customer today ...Can you help please?

Ah ok thanks Alfred ...so if i was doing my work on an Apple Mac it wouldn't be a problem?

Hello I am using Affinity Designer on Windows 10 & have an artboard with various big images on it to use on a show stand. I have tried to export the largest image 4800mm x 2800mm (56694px x 33072px) as a png but when i do it says ... "Warning the PNG format supports images with a maximum dimension of 32767 px, Your output will be scaled to fit" I want to export the image full size ...Is this an Affinity thing or a png thing? & do i have any other options? Cheers Pete

Hello Walt Great thanks very much for the quick reply Best regards Pete

Hello If i create a brochure in Affinity Publisher using windows 10, will it cause any problems if someone else opens it using an Apple Mac & works on it? I created a brochure & put it in the cloud for our Taiwan office to open, save as & then translate into Chinese. They did this, but the version they uploaded for me to look at, had no master pages (which the original did), it was single pages not facing pages & some of the layers are ungrouped & appear to have been moved up & down in levels. Could these things be caused by creating in file using Windows & then opening on a Mac or is it just them making mistakes? Pete

Hello Dan Thanks for the reply, I found that 3 different boxes (like the one "live" in this image) all had a thick orangy red dotted border around them. I don't recall ever doing anything like that but as i'm new & investigating lots in Affinity then of course it's possible! Although not sure how i would do it on all three at the same time!? Anyway i just clicked on the (currently saying none) button (highlighted in green) which was set to dashed line, & just set the line style to none. So i'm now ok & will assume it was just something i did while playing about! This was part of a brochure i did in Publisher Thanks again for you help Best regards Pete
