I see this was discussed a lot before v2 was released, but I don't see that it's possible yet. Some way to have a hanging indent (where all lines after the first one are indented). In the older discussions people wanted to allow a negative indent on the first line, for things like moving an opening quote before the beginning of the line. I could see that being useful when you have a drop-cap paragraph that begins with a quote. For myself, I'm looking to get a hanging indent for footnotes, so that the footnote numbers are to the left of the text. This is possible by setting Left Indent to a number, then moving the First Line Indent back to 0. The problem is that if you have more than 9 footnotes, then the number needed in the Left Indent changes from footnote 9 to footnote 10. Also, unless you set the Figure settings to Tabular, or you're using a monospace font, the number for the Left Indent can be variable between all numbers especially 1 and 2. So is there a way to having a hanging indent in a footnote, where the text is aligned separately from the number?

I was going over my footnotes, and I noticed that on a page with four short footnotes, the last one had extra space between it and the previous one. When I went to investigate, I noticed something else, which is that I can't always change the document-wide Footnote settings. That's actually something I've noticed before, but haven't asked about yet. I'm obviously missing what causes it to get greyed-out. I've attached a video which shows what I'm talking about. document-wide-footnote-settings.mp4 -
I copied mine .CSV file in PANTONE directory in all three 2.4.1 apps just about an hour before 2.4.2 appeared. Now, it dissapeared from all 3 apps. Why are you deleting files that are not part of Affinity apps? Do we have to "reinstall" them after every update / upgrade? -
Affinity Publisher has started outputting distorted vector elements on pages when exporting to PDF. I'm flummoxed as to why. Only two weeks ago I exported the same documents, using the same preset (that I've used dozens of times) and the resulting PDFs were absolutely fine. I'm exporting to PDF using PDF/X 1a. I can get the elements to be output correctly if I check 'JPEG compression' on export (should that have an effect on vectors?), but then the resulting PDF is 10x the size, at 900MB!, the same file two weeks ago was around 92MB. I've tried rasterizing the vectors before export, but they're still distorted in the PDF. Am I missing something obvious, or is this a bug? I'm on macOS 14.4.1. UPDATE: I've just tested my PDF export preset on Windows using a virtual machine on my Mac, and it outputs correctly. So it's an issue with the Mac version, macOS, or my Mac? UPDATE 2: A complete uninstall and reinstall hasn't helped.

Hi folks! I'm having trouble getting the Author field to correctly export to PDF. I can change the title successfully, but the author remains "Serif Affinity Publisher 2 2.4.1". Any ideas on how to fix this? What other info would we need?

A friend of mine is struggling with the problem that the PDF files she exports from Affinity Publisher version 1.10.5 for our neighborhood magazine do not contain any text information. The PDF only contains the graphic image of the finished page, not the corresponding text. Where / in which settings should she look for enabling text export? -
Trying to work on typing this booklet for a game so I am using a 2 column format. For the rest of the booklet, this hasn't happened. Why doesn't the text stay and keep within the text box? Did I mess up a setting when making my text styles? or is this something in the column settings? Thank you for any help!

Hi, When Publisher will feature object styles, I hope it will also include the following: - Search object types, and mass-apply an object style. - Allow for resizing multiple objects at once. Maybe the above features could be part of the Resource Manager, where the object style and size could be an attribute assigned to each of the objects in the list. Paolo -
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

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 -
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!!

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.

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

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.- 8 replies

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.

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! -
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 -
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?

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!

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. -
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?

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

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?
