  1. Hello, Just had a print job returned with quite a few errors, especially with a few specialized fonts. I created an OP preset specifically for the job and it seems that the FONTS were NOT embedded in the PDF file. Also when running preflght I am getting some errors when a different (symbol) font is pasted into a paragraph with the main font Bodoni. Here is a sample of the export preset. How can I check the PDF to ensure that the TypeFaces are indeed embeded (MAC OSX VENTURA) Thanks in advance to this great (about to get better??) community. David
  2. Hello, I am preparing slides for a course using Affinity Publisher. After giving a course, I like to leave comments for improvements for the following year. Is it possible to add text blocks or layers that would not be exported in the export PDF? Thank you very much, LEB
  3. Hi, I would like to export a collage I made in publisher with the pixels, as it is displayed in the program. (see sreenshot 1). But when I export the image, the pixels turn blurry. (screenshot 2) How can I adjust the export settings to prevent that? I think this article describes my problem (but for photoshop). https://www.hipsthetic.com/enlarge-pixel-art-without-blurring-in-photoshop/?expand_article=1 Thank you so much in advance!!
  4. Hi, I noticed the following bug on AP 2.4.0 on MacOS: Create a table of contents in a document Edit the style of one of the entries from the Text Style studio (modify [FR : Modifier [style name]) Changes are taken into account immediately in some cases (e.g. bolding), but others requiring refreshing the ToC (e.g. changing the font colour). This inconsistency seems a bug to me. Edit: Actions edited for clarity.
  5. Hi, I was able to reproduce the following unexpected behavior in Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 on MacOS. Write a text in English, for example, but incorrectly set the language to French. Write a second text in English, with the language set correctly to English. Use the style pipette to apply the style of the second text to the first. The text is now correctly defined as being in English, but the spellchecker still finds errors for non-French English words. LEB
  6. New text frames will pick up the settings of a recently used/customized/selected text frame, such as columns, inset etc. Often I want to create a 'basic' text frame, not one inheriting those custom settings. Reverting those settings one by one seems unnecessarily tedious. Can a text frame be 'reset' to basic settings? Bonus would be to add a text frame style tool, akin to paragraph/character styles.
  7. Hello everyone, I have encountered the following bug on an almost finished Publisher document. I am using Publisher 2.4.0 on a Mac running OS Ventura 13.6.5 (22G621). Problem encountered: - After placing an image and updating an image externally, I closed Publisher. - When I restarted, the (expected) window opened, indicating that I could update the linked document with the Resource manager. - Whether I continued with this process or not, the application froze, with either a color wheel spinning or the complete impossibility of doing anything (for example, 'Export' didn't open the corresponding window, double-clicking a page would not go to this page, etc.). I tried to restart Publisher and my operating system several times with no success. I then tried to open the document in Affinity Designer. Designer then refused to open it, saying that the "Document is already open in Publisher 2", which was not true. I therefore thought that there was an invisible lock file preventing me from using the Affinity applications. Duplicating the file using the Finder did the trick, and my file is now editable as normal. I consider that not being able to open a file in Affinity Publisher due to a corrupted lock file, with no easy way of understanding the problem, is a significant bug that could affect other users, preventing them from opening their files.
  8. Hi... I Paid Subscription of Affinity Designer V1 only i would like to know when i pay for an Upgrade of 25% off the sale price of the V2 Universal Licence... AM I GOING TO GET ACCESS ALL V2 APPS ? or its Only V1 Paid Affinity Design will be Upgrades to V2?
  9. Hi, i'm looking to make a product catalog for about 4500 products with a catagory en sub-catagories. Is this possible with publisher and data merge? And how is it done? is there a very good youtube or other video for it
  10. Hi everyone, especially Affinity Team, there is one thing in text editing, that bugs me for quite some time: if you move a word in MS Word or similar, the program usually takes into account the surrounding of the word, i.e. if a moved word has single space before and after in its original location, it will have a single space in its new location. If you move a word like this before a full stop, comma, colon or similar character, it will wedge itself right before said character. In other words, this is a quite logical and expected behaviour. Meanwhile, APu just takes the word, sometimes with a following space, sometimes not, and just puts it wherever you drop it. Usually it attaches to a word next to the new position, which creates a strange situation, when I have to 1) move the word, 2) separate it from the word it randomly gets attached to, and 3) remove the superfluous space. Which is usually located on the other end of the word. This behaviour, along with the standard keyboard abbreviation for word jump (Alt + arrow) being used for nudge, makes moving words quite a nightmare... Could you please fix it? My suggestion: if I move a word with a single space before and after: to a single space between two words -> the moved word will have a single space before and after on a new location. The old location will have a single space. right before a separating character (full stop, comma, colon etc.) -> the moved word will jump right before the separating character, leaving a space before, but not after similar behaviour for a word before a separating character, when moved in a single space between two words. Is it possible? And would you do it? Thanks a lot, have a nice day!
  11. I tried restarting, and turning off hardware acceleration. I've seen it before. It seems to only happen on lines with hyphenation: Affinity Publisher 2 2024-03-19 08-15-53.mp4
  12. I cannot get the section to start numbering with the number 1. (see attached screen caps) Using Affinity Publisher 2.4 on Windows 10 I'm just starting this project. I currently have just 2 files in the book. An intro file has 6 pages. The second file is chapter 1. I created a new section on the first page of that file. I have "Start page numbering at" checked. The box contains a 7 and I cannot change it. It always switches back to 7. And the page number in the footer of the first page in that document shows a 7. Also, i can't delete this section to try to create a different one. The delete icon in the Section Manager is disabled. This shouldn't be this hard. What am I doing wrong or is this some kind of bug?
  13. Hi all, I thought I'd give myself a quick project to explore Affinity's Shape tools and make a series of images. I've made some fish like creatures, but other themes could easily used, like monsters, faces etc. I was thinking this idea could help new users learn about the Shape tools and generally have some creative fun. When I get a few spare moments, my intention is to further embellish each shape with colours, different fills, backgrounds, text etc Note: the bitmap fill is from The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack (Grizzle 1), the paper texture is from True Grit Texture Supply (Folio-Vellum) and additional line shading is from Artifex Forge's Vintage Engraved Patterns (Pattern 6). Yes, I have splashed out on the Spring Sale offers!
  14. I not only make covers, but also book interiors, where printing with black ink only is essential. So it can only contain elements that cannot contain CMY colours, only K. Is there a preflight option that I can use to filter out elements that meet this requirement? Unfortunately, the printer has repeatedly rejected the preflight because Publisher sometimes makes vector images stroke a non-CMYK 0,0,0,100, or if a K-only image does not have 100% opacity properties, the program will mix in a CMY value. Press can find these straight away using Acrobat, but I can't. It would be nice to filter this out before sending to the press.
  15. I am working on a book, like I have done in the past. I find it easier to sometimes read the words in using the dictation function built into macOS. I sometimes can work faster that way. I tried using this yesterday with Affinity Publisher, and it didn't work. I have tried everything I can think of to get it work and cannot. Has something changed? Is anyone else having this issue?

  16. Hi, Mac Monterey 12.7.4, Publisher 2.4. I've the Home key of my keyboard assigned to the Move to First page command, but it doesn't work. The Page Up, Page Down, and End keys all do what they are expected to do when the Move tool is selected, but not the Home key. Paolo
  17. I'm typing in TW Cen MT in Affinity Publisher 2 on Windows, and I'd like to type the character a with a macron (ā), but the font doesn't include that character. However, it does include the macron as a separate character (¯). Is there any way I can combine a with ¯ by messing with the font settings? Alternatively, is there any way to add new glyphs to a font?
  18. In Publisher on Mac (latest OS version, Affinity version 2.4.0) I ran into a weird problem with keyboard shortcuts. I live in germany and use a german keyboard, but my Affinity software is set to english, as I prefer my software in english. (but as I am dutch, my OS language is actually dutch... yeah, I know, it's pretty complicated 🤪) I wanted to create a shortcut for Preview mode, using the # button, as it is easily accesible and not used for much else. When I implemented this in settings, it shows up as # in the imput box. However, the shortcut does not work, and in the menu the shortcut next to the menu item says 3. When I then use 3 it does not work (possibly because of a conflict?). I then tried the = sign on the number pad. In the imput field it shows up normally, but it does not work. In the menu, it now says * next to the item. When I then tried to use this shortcut, it did indeed work... ⁉️ I have no idea why this problem occurs, and have found no way to change the input setting in Affinty. I have only one keyboard installed. I know my set up is a bit uncommon, but other software does not have this problem, so I guess this should be solveable.
  19. I'm trying to gather all the images I used in my Affinity Publisher file. Is there a simple way to export all of the images I have in this file to a folder so I can keep everything organized?
  20. Here I'll show you an architecture magazine that I design annually with Affinity Publisher and oversee the printing and production. In the beginning the magazine was created in Indesign. After I got out of the Adobe subscription, I adapted it in Publisher and now designed it in AP for the fourth time. At the beginning there were problems with embedded customer PDFs; these were not passed through but were always somehow interpreted and therefore incorrect. Since ver. 2 this has been a thing of the past. You can view the entire magazine as a digital edition here. Have fun! Servus Ernie
  21. Hello, this is what happens: - I create a local Publisher-File. - I drag/drop a .jpg and a .pdf file into it and put them on "linked" - I open the .jpg file in Preview and draw something on it and save it - Changes appear immediately in the publisher file - I do the same with the .pdf - No changes appear in the publisher file Further notes: If I export the publisher file as PDFs both changes appear in the exported pdf, however the Finder preview of said pdf looks a bit odd. If I open the changed PDF in Publisher it also does not show the changes I made in preview. It also does not work If I make changes in Adobe Reader. If I open the PDF in Publisher and change something and export it as pdf and overwrite the old one, changes are there, but the old ones are gone System: Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Macbook Pro M1 2021, Publisher Version 2.4 Thoughts: I think it seems to be a problem with the way these changes are made in Preview and Adobe Reader. Even worse, if I add some Text in Preview, the file becomes completely unreadable for Publisher, giving me an error. If I re-import it via drag and drop, it is there but without the Scribbles and Text.
  22. Hey folks, I've noticed a problem in Affinity Photo 2, affecting both iPad and desktop versions, where changing a layer's fill opacity via the FX options from 100 % to anything between 100 and 0 % doesn't hide the layers contents as expected. Instead, the contents remain visible 100 % at all times. This seems similar to a previously mentioned, but seemingly solved issue with the 3D effect in Affinity Designer, indicating a possible consistent rendering issue with layer effects and fill opacity settings. To reproduce the Bevel / Emboss visibility issue, follow these steps: Open Affinity Photo 2 on either an iPad or desktop and create a new layer. On this layer, draw anything using any colour of your choice. Apply the Bevel / Emboss effect to the drawn layer. Reduce the layer's fill opacity to 0%. Expected Outcome: The layer contents should become invisible, leaving only the Bevel / Emboss effect visible. Actual Outcome: Despite reducing fill opacity to 0%, both the layer contents and the Bevel / Emboss effect remain visible, suggesting that the expected change in visibility does not occur. I'm looking for insights or workarounds from anyone who has encountered this. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Dennis
  23. Latest ticket template 9.4x 6.6cm. everything created in Designer apart from Elvis image and creating the page numbering in and printing from publisher. Size is designed to give me an n-up print of 9 to an A4 page on a colour laser.
  24. OK, this is a bit freaky, coming from a lazy one who dislikes even blanks at the end of paragraphs. Imagine you have to work with long lists / tables of words no dictionary could possibly know, but you don't want the Spelling Mistakes to appear in the Preflight Panel. You can now mark every "wrong" word and ignore / learn it, which could be a tedious work with lots of spelling mistakes. The easy way: Just select the text frame or paragraphs and set Spelling to None in the Character panel. So all "wrong" words magically disappear from the Preflight panel. You can still set the hyphenation to your desired language or use this method within Text Styles. Drawback of course is, that there could be mistakes in your text.
  25. I've been trying to set up an automatic Table of Contents in my book, and it has caused me to crash 3 or 4 times within a short period. I don't know if my book is simply too big (13 documents, totalling 295 pages), but performance tanks when it has to re-index the ToC and sometimes it crashes.
