I have to import two pdf files every week for a bulletin. - I should mention that I also posted this in Windows bugs as I use both OS and it happens in both. When I do the file in Publisher has been changed - I am guessing because the pdf has a different font than my system. I am able to do this in QuarkXPress, Corel Dray and Page Plus with out the distortion so I am not sure what I need to do in Publisher or if it will be something fixed in upcoming versions but wanted to report it. I have to convert the pdf to an image as a workaround but it does not print as nicely as the pdf. Thanks -
I completed a book and sent it to the artist for final approval. She does not have MS Publisher that I used, so I thought I would send the final draft in a PDF. Surely she would say OK and that would be it. (Note: She does not speak English well.) She decided to do some graphic tweaking and sent me back revised pages in a PDF. Problem is the text was messed up. I could not use the PDFs she sent. I said I needed the graphics; she never sent them. So I thought I would open the PDFs and get the graphics and add them to the original doc. Affinity Publisher actually opened the PDFs and I was able to fix the text. When I highlighted the images, it seems to be a vector. Is that correct? The interesting thing was that Affinity Publisher actually created layers with every brush stroke in each graphic. Again, the question: when Affinity Publisher opens a PDF does it convert an image to a vector? Thanks for your help! -
Opened a PDF from Indesign in publisher 1.1.0.128, exported to PDF for print: all images except the first page are inverted, this does not happen when the PDF is opened and exported in Affinity Photo and exported, when the exported document is opened in Publisher Images are also inverted Original Document viewed in Apple QuickLook Export from Affinity Publisher 1.1.0.128 viewed in Apple QuickLook

Hello! I wanted to back-check with the community if its just a problem on my end. While exporting a page with a transparent polka-dot pattern (25% transparency) I noticed that the transparency doesnt work once exported into a PDF file. Funnily enough, when I export the page as a PNG the transparency works... IN-APP DESIGN: EXPORT OPTIONS: PDF-FINAL RESULT:

Hi I am not sure if this is a bug or feature request. In previous versions of Publisher when I placed a PDF that had crop marks and bleeds it imported as is. The last two versions when I place the document it comes into the page cropped. However, when you go to edit you still see everything. There are instances where those marks and/or bleeds may be required. Is this just a bug or will you be implementing placement options that would allow the user to determine how the external document will be placed? -
I imported a client's PDF (52 pages) (they use "Scribus"!) and seemed to be able to do some manipulation But could not save via "file>save as" which greyed-out (as was "save") Only option seemed to be to exit and the respond "yes" to do you want to save. Which I did. The file was saved to the desktop. Later, when trying to open file got error message to say file type not recognised!

Imported a client's 52 page PDF (they use Scribus!) Seemed to imort OK - after a delay - and able to d some manipulation. BUT - Could not save file via File > "Save as" option - which greyed out, as was 'Save". Thought saved via option on exit and appeared to have saved - to desktop. There is a file. But when tried to re-open got message to say 'not a recognised file type' so data lost!

Having used page plus to create a 112 catalogue with lots of words and images, I have tried to import a pdf into publisher. It works, and looks fine, but as soon as I try to edit the text, it goes crazy - some frames with no space between lines, some indented - and I cannot fix it because there doesn't seem to be a 'clear formatting' option Can someone advise me of the best settings for pdf export from PP to enable the import to work?

Affinity Publisher (and Designer) do not import PDFs generated by LaTeX properly. So far, it seems to be not influenced by the LaTeX engine (pdfLatex or XeLaTeX, for instance). First obvious problem is that Publisher does not use the fonts that are embedded in the PDF. First workaround tried by me was to install LaTeX specific fonts into macOS, and choose them in the replacement dialog, but this does not completely work (math doesn't read at all convincingly. Text works better that way, but diacritics (German umlauts) don't set correctly (the dots are set off to the left)). After some digging into the forums, a better workaround is to change the LaTeX source to use the macOS installed replacement fonts, and open and re-save the PDF with Preview. This does produce an improved import, as far as text is concerned. Math still has some problems. The equations are by now recognizable, but there are still the occasional (completely) wrong glyph used, and some sizes are wrong (for normal Roman font used within math environments). I have attached a small test file with some common elements (mostly equations). This file is done with standard pdfLaTeX and the LaTeX-specific Computer Modern fonts. As far as I checked, all fonts are embedded within the PDF. The PDF opens properly on my Windows test system in browsers and PDF readers, and prints properly. I can produce other variations, if needed. equations.pdf -
There is inconsistency in the colour rendering between what is viewed on screen (2017 MacBook pro – calibrated) and some of the default pdf export options. I have tested this on the defaults for PRINT, WEB and FLATTEN. The document is set up as CMYK and the placed image is also set as CMYK – as are all the colours used in the document. The image enclosed here is a screen capture of the Publisher working document. WYO-AS-Screen Capture.pdf

Document Setup with facing pages, Arrangement horizontal, start on right At PDF Export "All Pages" I get an unexpected result: for the facing page and the last page are added inner bleeds, in the amount as outer bleed is set. Result: the width of facing page and the last page is too much (facing page at the left, last page at the right) , see attached files Hausaufgabenheft 01.afpub Hausaufgabenheft 01.pdf

Sir, I have imported a 44 pages PDF X/3 document in 1.7.133. This document has already been successfully generated by Foxit Phantom Pro. It was a combination of Scribus 1.5.4 PDFX/3 files and .docx imports. The whole document was printed in Germany and went without a remark through the pre-print analysis of the printing company. Prints are perfect. The page shown in attachment was a .docx file imported in Foxit. 1) Publisher Import: Issue 1: Compared to an Acrobat Reader view, I notice that the text is not properly "Left justifed" anymore. See the jpg in attachment, name ending with "...start.jpg", there is a blank on the left of "333" Acrobat and prints show all end lines perfectly justified. Issue 2: the text frame was centered in the original document. Affinity shows a wider blue frame correct on the left side, but on the right side there is like a blank character that was added at the end of each line 2) I have just changed the "line space" of 9pt to "Exactly" and 150%, i.e.13.5 pt Underlined texts are not managed properly. The text "www.tramania.com" of the next paragraph "loses" its underline. This underline line stays at its original position and pollutes the previous paragraph that was modified. I did not find a way to delete this line Note: Everything is default. No special styles, etc First file loaded with a fresh 1.7.133 install Regards, Philippe

Warning message: This would be more helpful if it stated the reason (in my instance because the PDF file with that name was already open in another application). -
Hey!I really loved working with Affinity Publisher Beta - I come from Scribus and it's so much better! So I designed a whole magazine and was able to export it to PDF several times. But now I'd like to export the final version - and everytime I click on "Export", it shows me, that there are overflowing frames (I click on Ignore and Continue) and then the Export-screen is shown for half a second and then the whole program crashes. Can I change something, so it won't happen again?Yours (and again: thanks for the awesome program!)Dominik (Sorry, posted it in the wrong topic yesterday) https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/69121-crash-when-you-want-to-export-a-document/ -

I define a bleed in the document and add it to my PDF-export settings. But the generated pdf-file is still without bleed.

Did quick search and couldn't find similar reported. Using PC version 1.7.0.57 I have a double sided A4 leaflet - I imported to AP as a pdf and saved as a AP doc. Loaded AP format doc and exported to pdf (print ready, 300 dpi). On one side there are six square images in two rows. The top row in the resulting pdf the images appear as negatives - see attached - bottom row are fine. Note, all images appear correct in AP format doc. I then tried exporting as a pdf (print ready, 400 dpi) same result, top row of images as negatives, bottom row ok - then tried exporting as a pdf (flatten, 400 dpi) and this was fine, all images appearing as normal. I've uploaded the AP file and the pdf. AA X-STK leaflet - general.afpub AA X-STK leaflet - general.pdf -
Placed (not opened) a PDF on an empty page. Worked well, but Publisher replaced a font (CopperBlack, which is not installed on my system) by Lucida Grande without warning. If you need the original PDF to analyze, please PM.

High folks, First of all: big applauses to the team that works on Publisher! I am really impressed ... and it is "only" a beta! I tried a compile of a 245 pages book, and everything worked out real well and smooth from a-z. One question: Exporting a facing paging creates a PDF with double pages. How can I order a rail of single faced ready for printing? I'm looking forward testing out Publisher even more through these next days and weeks. Cheers.

I'm very new to the AD world and I could use a little help. I have created a business card design. How do I get that design to print like 8 on a sheet? So that if I were to send this design to a customer, it would be print ready? Right now it's just a single 3.5×2 design. -
How do I "flatten" all layers before exporting / PDF'ing so that I do not lose resolution? Problem: Sending 8.5x11 manuscript to Kindle (KDP) for print on demand (book). When using Export->PDF(print) some lines on diagram are not appearing in digital proof. When I use the Export->PDF(flatten) the resolution is too low / diagrams are pixelated. For example: PDF(print) is crisp PDF(flatten) is blurry

hello I did a test on Affinity Publisher to create the DS Automotive cover with the logo. Then I exported in pdf but he posted the problem (see picture). After export, the logo has disappeared except the blue light remains. It is not normal.PDF couverture_ds.pdf

Hello! I do experience an awkward issue: Sometimes (not always) when I am opening the export dialog the last PDF I have exported is immediately deleted. This can be quite frustrating whenever you have two files to export - the first one exports fine but opening the export dialog a second time (which opens in the last used directory) for the next file deletes the first one. I have to make a temp back-up of the PDF or I have to keep only one APub file in one directory. It seems that in all cases the last exported file will be deleted. Closing or restarting does not help. Cheers, Chris
