Hi I am wanting to creating a PDF downloadable walking tour and map and would like to know if it is possible to create a PDF with a vertical as well as a horizontal swipe. eg. At the moment I have 10 pages that swipe from left to right which is great, but having to constantly move back to the page with the map on it is a pain, even with a link on each page to get you back to it. What I am really wanting is to have the 10 pages that exist in a left to right line to also have a map below each page - so in practice wherever the user is on the original ten page horizontal 'timeline' they can swipe up and see the map, because there is the same map repeated in the 10 pages below the original ten pages - I hope this makes sense. My question is can this be done using Affinity to design the pages and then exported as a PDF or do I need to,consider some other software' if I do what? Many thanks in advance for any help on this. -
Hi, I came across a strange mistake. I'll start from the beginning. I'm working on a brochure, with bend in the middle , so I started doing it in final form (that how it's should look like). I thought that i can join it through the export persona and converted to pdf and with bleeds and crop marks like here ( ). However, when i combine the two artboards, the bleed disappear after export. So I decided to dived the pages manually by the squares and then reoorder the pages for the finall print. But when i copy the pages each half has a different color. When I give duplicate, so it will not. I do not know if it's a bug in the program or just an incorrect settings or using affinity. Thanks for the reply. I hope this is not too confusing post :) PS: look at the attached file. It's quire obvious that each half has different color.

Is it possible to select a specific page when I place a pdf in AD? Now I got no dialogue box and all the pages are grouped in one big layer. Thanks ! -
Hi, Recently had the bleed go missing on export to PDF. Had to recreate the artboards, in once instance on a new file for them to be exported. Just to clarify; bleed was selected on the Document Startup and the PDF export. I've attached a stripped down version of the file and the PDF I was getting (with crop marks but no bleed). Anyone else reported this? Not fun when I've got work on deadline! Any ideas? Carl MISSING BLEED.afdesign MISSING BLEED.pdf -
I am trying to export some business cards. I have multiple fronts (different names), and one common back. I am able to export one of the fronts as it appears in the workflow, but all the rest of the fronts and backs comes out almost 50% opaque passthrough (or something similar). What am I doing wrong? I have tried checking that all effects are off, and that all layers are grouped with opacity on 100% and normal. I have also opened each file on its own instead of exporting as all of the fronts of the cards together. Any hints? I have attached the one file of the card that is good, and the other that is faded... Business Card - Betsy Front.pdf Business Card - Jared Front.pdf -
Hello, I am trying to open a PDF as currently cropped and saved as a raster directly through Photo or Designer, but it doesn't seem to provide that option with the open dialog options, am I missing something? Thank you -
Hello! Does anyone know that if it is possible to change the order of artboards when exporting to PDF(whole document)? By default it's ordered by time created. How can I change the order on my own? For example, I want to move the latest created Artboard3 to the first page of the document. I've tried and found that Layers order has nothing to do with this. In Adobe Illustrator there's a useful drag-and-drop panel for us to change the order of workspace. How can I do that in AD? Thanks for reading this, any comment would be appreciated :D :D -
Hi, I have some publication figures I need to export without loss of resolution. They *should* be entirely vector graphics, but are nevertheless getting rasterized and appear pixelated. The files are composed of 3-4 PDFs (generated in R and fully vector) plus panel letters (e.g. A-D) added in Affinity Designer. In Affinity Designer I can zoom in all the way and still see crisp text and line art. However, upon exporting as PDF, EPS, or SVG no matter what settings are use I get pixelation, even if I set a very high DPI (say 1000) or do not set DPI with the intention of the image remaining fully vector graphic. I am confused because *all* the elements in these files are fully vector graphics, but nonetheless I get loss of resolution upon exporting from Affinity Designer. I'm attaching an example file to this message. Please help!! ...I need to submit high resolution versions of these images to the journal ASAP. Thanks!! Dan. Figure3.afdesign -
I am getting some funky looking pdf outputs. It only seems to appear when special effects have been used. It appears AD is bit mapping the area, understandably, but not doing a very good job of it. Thoughts?

Hello, I can't export a file as PDF, I get a dialog box with this : "An error occurred while exporting to: <file path>" It allows me to export some files but not others.....they are nearly identical. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. -
Hello, I'm using affinity designer for an album sleeve, that I'm, making into a digital booklet. I was following the artboard tutorial to deconstruct panels of the template into pages of a .pdf, and it went well until export. I didn't actually find anything on the order the pages come out as though, and they're exporting in reverse order. I've tried different layouts across the artboard space and changing the order layers sit in, in their window. It's still coming out as before. How do I change the page order of my pdf document before export? -
When I tred to open the attached pdf AD locked up and froze. I had to use the task manager for force close it. The pdf was created in Xara Designer Pro 365 crose.pdf -
I've updated the lasted version of Affinity today (ver 1.5.0.7), this version can't export *.afdesign files to *.pdf files. But the older version can be. I don't know why, please check it. Here are my files: http://www.mediafire.com/download/96qzqsb8p22r76s/Logo.rar

Hey guys, I'm having an issue getting AD to properly export a radial transparency mask using the Transparency tool applied to a group of vector objects which have a vector brush outline set in different colors. Notice how the radial transparency in the background art doesn't output correctly to PDF. Included are the export settings, I've tried several. Any ideas? Correct: Incorrect: PDF Export settings:

When exporting a file as PDF, I can reliably cause Affinity to crash. With the document open: Select Export from the File menu Select the PDF tab Preset: Select PDF (for web) Raster DPI: Select 300 (or anything above 72) (this causes the 'Preset' to go blank) Select the 'More' button Enter '150' in the 'Downsample images' 'Above DPI' Select the 'Close' button Affinity will crash as soon as you hit the 'Close' button. "An Unhandled Exception has occurred. Code: 0xE0434352"

When I tried to open the FF Chartwell 2.0 User Manual (available from here) Affinity Designer displayed the following error message: "This file could not be opened. Ensure it is a valid PDF document." Upon examining the document properties in PDF-XChange Editor, I discovered that 'Content Copying for Accessibility' is allowed but 'Content Copying' is not. I presume this is the reason why Designer can't open the document, but the error message isn't as helpful as it might be. -
Hi All, When i create trim marks with the standard 3mm bleed and take the pdf into Indesign to layout for print, I find that that trim marks don't show on "import bleed" settings. They're on the pdf but are too far away in the make-up of the pdf to show on a 3mm bleed import - the actual trim marks are 3.3mm and 3.3mmm (x, y) when measured from the Doc boundaries. So, you're left with trim marks when you impose a 20-up business card spread - quite important when you put the sheets under the guillotine. I don't want to go back to the days of ruling up a job. When a job is sent out to print, you'll find that printers generally ask for trim marks and 3mm bleed as standard Am I doing something wrong in my original pdf set-up? Thanks in advance for any feedback Frustrated printer Vernon -
I can reproduciple kill v1.5.0.7 when I open multiple PDF files (2 are enough) quickly. Edit: Even if I do it slowly it seems to crash all the time. Reproduce: simply use the menu --> file --> Open --> select PDF-1 confirm default options with OK quick do the same again for PDF-2 pdf-sample-1.pdf pdf-sample-2.pdf pdf-sample-3.pdf

Good day, Is it possible, and if so how, to place a pdf file as a flat image instead of an image with editable layers en text? When I place a pdf that I want to use as an image but I don't have the fonts that are used in the pdf installed on my computer the whole image breaks. When you place a pdf in photoshop it is placed as a flat image. Kind regards, Joeri. -
Hey folks, I have a glow in a design that sits over top of a few other items with transparency. Everything looks great on screen, but after export, I get some weird banding issues when viewing the PDF in either Preview or Acrobat. I’ve tried setting the blend mode of the glow to everything from Overlay, to Screen, to Normal, but I’m still getting the same result. Is there a fix for this? I’d really rather not remove the glow for print. Attachment for reference. EDIT: To add to the complexity, I was just reviewing some older versions of this same file, and the PDFs were rendering fine when they were not in artboards, but in separate files and in Designer 1.4.1. -
Dear Sir, When i tried to open .pdf file and try to delete some pdf images which comes as separate image or later received the following error. Error screen shot attached with this ticket. Any solutions for the same, please let us know... Thanks in advance, Regards Suffian Ahmed

I imagine the file type filter in the file | open dialog box may undergo some changes, however at the present time it shows PDF to be open-able. When I attempt to open a pure image (no text) pdf, Affinity hangs then crashes. Looking good. Shows lots of knowledgeable effort. Congratulations to the dev team!

Hello, AD for Windows has problems when opening some PDF documents. When opening by menu File / Open then Windows dialog occures: An Unhandled Exception has occured. Code: 0x80131502. The AD then crashes. When opening with drag and drop operation no dialog occures, nothing opens and the AD still works. One of the problematic PDF doc is attached. PS: GREAT WORK WITH AD!!! ;) activate-use-xdebug.pdf

HiHi! First of all, AD is my new favourite thing in the world, ever. I'm buying it, even though it's not quite fit for the purpose of Motion Graphics just yet. I've posted in the forum in case i've missed something but will AD be able to export a layered vector file format for use in AE? I'm desperate for AD to work in the After Effects pipeline without having to do workarounds. (Raster is no good for the Mograph we do at the current agency) Illustrator sucks! :P AD is epic! B) -
Trying to export to PDF to get business cards printed. I imported a PSD template from moo.com with the right color spaces / etc. Tried importing my logo in EPS and SVG, which looks fine on screen. But when exporting to PDF it rasterizes. Afraid it's going to print terribly and considering just exporting a massive PNG instead. Disclaimer: I basically never do print work and have used Photoshop for under 3 hours in my life. Affinity Photo is a totally different app for me (Fireworks to Sketch user).
