  1. Hi everyone, I'm exporting some artwork to PDF and I'm unable to export one layer as a layer. The results is that all but one layer export as expected and the contents of one layer appear at the top level and not as a layer. Here's the setup in Designer: And here is the result when opened in Acrobat Reader: The Photo layer is missing. The Photo Layer contents appear at the top level so this might not be a showstopper but I'm curious as to why it didn't export. Any thoughts?
  2. I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong, but when I attempt to export a simple vector image as a PNG, the final image is gray. The image has a 3d FX on it. When I apply a color to it, the color is also grayed out. I tried to export directly from main menu, and through export persona - same results.
  3. 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
  4. 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!!
  5. Hello. I encountered very specific problem I can't find solution to. I am creating sewing cutting patterns. And I wanted to export the file with layers so people can print only the size they are interested in. It should work like this - you have pattern with multiple sizes and in layers you can choose which one you want to see/print. This was created and exported in Illustrator and works as expected. But when I try to export the same thing in AD, the layers on multiple pages are not linked - meaning you'd have to select the visible layer for every page of the document separately. You can see when I am in the middle of two pages I see all the layers of every page but it should be just one layers for all twenty something pages of the document. I also created super simple documents simulating my issue since I am not able to upload the screenshotted document itself. Is there any setting to make the "layers linked" across all the pages or is it something than can not be done in AD? Thank for any kind of help. A4 .pdf A4 Print Template.afdesign
  6. I want to create with Affinity Designer a gradient mesh. In order to be able to define a brand specific texture, I am experimenting. The texture shall be used in Powerpoint slides but also on large prints like banners. So I must work in a way that it does not raster the image, because I want to scale it infinitly. Unfortunatelly you see in the Texture.pdf that the gaussian blur applied on the shape does not exist any more. Only the color gradients work in the PDF. If I export to SVG, then the gaussian blur exits. Also if I bring the SVG to Powerpoint and Export the Powerpoint as PDF, then the shape is blured correctly. So I assume this must be an export error in the Affinity Designer 2.4. Can you please help? I have posted the export menu screen shots so you may see whether any adjustment should be made, to get it to work. Thank you. Texture.pdf Texture.afdesign Texture.svg
  7. Affinity Publisher V2 Is there a way to export multiple pages in a document, as a single PDF? What I mean is - I have 31 pages in my book and I want 31 single PDF files extracted at a go. At the moment, I have to select each page and then extract.
  8. 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?
  9. Hello, i am a long time user of affinity publisher version 1 and now 2. I am in the process of exporting my 3rd volume of my auto-produced magazine which is usually a photographic magazine full of photos, A4 vertical format. 1st volume was 152 pages, 2nd volume was 156 pages, and now i'm doing 148 pages. I did all of the in affinity publisher. Now, the problem is the following I'm trying to export a PDF file as a preview of the finished work, so i set the quality to just 96 dpi. i chosed to export the file in the D:\ which has 300gb of free space, BUT while it exports, it's filling insanely up the C:\ in which i have 36gb of free space... It completely fills up the space at 1/2 of the export progress, and then obviously the export crashes. With affinity v1 and the previous 2 volumes i've never had this problem, despite the larger size of the file. Can someone help with this non sense filling up of memory?? Otherwise i can't export and sell my project...
  10. Problem: When exporting to TIFF, any of the Subject, Tags, Comments metadata fields are corrupted (changed to Chinese characters). Usually the Subject and Tags or the Subject and Comments fields are corrupted depending on scenario. Steps (Scenario 1): 1. Add metadata tags to a TIFF file in File Explorer. 2. Open in Affinity Photo. 3. Export to TIFF unaltered (with ZIP compression). Steps (Scenario 2): 1. Add metadata tags to an image in Affinity Photo. 2. Export to TIFF (with ZIP compression). Steps (Scenario 3): 1. Add tagged TIFF files to Batch process in Affinity Photo. 2. Use Batch process to export TIFF files unaltered to TIFF (with ZIP compression). The goal of resaving the file with ZIP compression is to workaround the bug in File Explorer that saves tagged TIFF (Zip) as TIFF (LZW) at about three times the size. However, I currently have no editors available that can save a TIFF file with metadata intact without corrupting it (this is also a bug in all Adobe products last time I used them, which was quite some time ago, and the reason I would attempt to use File Explorer to add metadata after editing). Side discussion: Compression is an interesting problem. On top of the metadata tagging in File Explorer roughly tripling the file size by converting to LZW, simply embedding a TIFF in an AFPHOTO file roughly doubles its size, and if the layer is rasterised with no modifications whatsoever, the AFPHOTO file doubles in size again (even when saved as a fresh copy to compact it). All of this adds up to massive (and expensive) storage waste. They say storage is cheap, but it isn't cheap enough to want to buy three times as many hard drives at several hundred dollars a pop to do the job of one. For the sake of not sharing family photos, examples are a frame exported from Blu-ray movie for desktop wallpaper. Tags made up to be "typical" (with Unicode characters).

  11. Hi, This one is slowly getting to me now after several tries to fix it... I have a brochure with some basic pages, some text styles and a separate TOC page. So far so good. Chapter headers are a separate text frame/style apart from the text frame paragraphs. No text flow between the two. When exporting the brochure, the PDF comes out fine, and I have perfect pages and a nice page thumbnail list. But when I look in Edge at the List view for the TOC, or in Firefox at the Document Outline (same thing, different name), I see my chapter headers listed, but -also- all my text from the following text frames. So imagine a looong list, instead of just the chapter headers. I also tried to create the chapter headers as a artistic text, but with the heading textstyle attached it does the same thing in the export. I looked at my all my text styles, document and export settings, but cannot seem to find out what is causing this? I probably overlooking something very basic here. edit: oh... Win 11 and Publisher 2.3.1 MSIX Anyone has a tip or idea? cheers! Rob
  12. The process to export appears to be working, but the files never appear in Drive. Searching the forums and google brings up a few instances of similar problems, but no good answers. Need to export to Drive without any extra steps, like transferring from iCloud. Saving and the workaround for retrieving saved Drive files as described in https://www.vernier.com/til/15164 works. iOS 17.2 on iPad Air Screen recording of export process attached Can anyone help with a solution? Thanks! RPReplay_Final1707432051.mp4
  13. Hello Forum! I am working on a catalog in Publisher 2, and am about to set up the index. My initial test export does not include hyperlinks for the index entries. Is it possible to create an index that will export a PDF with hyperlinks? I have selected 'Digital PDF' and do not see any hyperlink options in the export settings/menu. Thank you.
  14. First love your software and recommended it to my dad who bought it. I have some feature requests, suggestions, thoughts etc. By giving these I am in no way implying I know better or dislike etc. My father uses steel laser cutting services who only accept DWG and DXF files. I have helped him with his workflow to convert through an online service, such as Convertio, by exporting as SVG then converted to DXF and then send onto the cutting company. This is annoying to him. Would it be possible to add DWG (or DXF, I think DWG would be more appropriate you). There is an issue of work flow when opening an SVG and the Document Settings default to crazy settings. Perhaps a custom config for that would make it quicker to set it correctly. For example; we both predominantly use mm, because we output to the real world most of the time, so I would export to SVG. If for some reason I have to open that SVG in Designer 2 I will get a document in px, and ppi is 72, and need 96 ppi, and the document dimensions are incorrect. I am unsure how well you can help with this since I know that, at least in part, the issue is caused by SVG standard. Would we have a dimensioning tool. Would be good to have it function like guides do with it’s manager etc. But have them output as vectors or raster depending what people are doing. The ruler tool works fine as a mechanism, but it doesn’t stay and there is only one. A combination of the Ruler tool and Guides would work great to dimension with.
  15. Our customer has notified us that some images on the latest pdfs have noticeable jpg noise on the edges of the image. This noise is very noticeable because the images have white background. After researching and testing, we have found that this only happens on images that has been cropped and rotated, and only when the pdf is exported to RGB (with the document being made on CMYK), so the "noise" is generated on colour conversion on the cropped image on export. Attached image shows the noise, which is more noticeable the lower the resolution of the exported pdf. Steps to reproduce: Place an image (with white background for better view of the issue) on CMYK document. Crop the image (in our case, to reduce excessive white area) Rotate the image Export to PDF in cmyk, high res (X1A): image has no issues Export to PDF in RGB, any resolution: image has jpg noise in borders of the crop area We checked and it also happens converting to Gray and limitless RGB, and the noise disappears when there is no pdf color conversion. A stopgap solution is to rasterize the image, but this results in an embedded image, unlinking the original, and also doing it on a 4000 image catalogue is a no-no. Exporting in higher resolution and less compression mitigates the issue, but it is still there. In our workflow, this is an issue, because we made the design for printing and later export a digital rgb version from the same document for web publishing.

  16. Hello, I'm trying to export some SVGs but there is always some extra white space around the exported SVG, no matter if I go through the export function or export persona. I can't find a way to simply export any elements without extra margins around the vectors. Maybe anyone here has an idea... As an example from the export persona. When selecting a group, it always creates some margins, as seen here. First rectangle is the border of the group, second rectangle is the export slice. Also interesting to see is that the margin around the Text is simply to the next pixel, however it's a couple of pixels from the rectangles/lines.
  17. I am trying to export a 100 page document made on Publisher, when i click on export, i can see Preflight Document message box but the Export window does not show up. I have updated the app and tried reopening the document and exporting but the issue persists.
  18. Hi, There is a bug that I've been waiting for to be solved by the Affinity Team but as of yet - no luck. I'm using the version 2.3.1 of the Affinity Suite for MacOS. When implementing a svg-file exported from any of the software in the suite into a HTML document I want to be able to control the svg file with CSS - eg stroke widths, colors, fills and so on. With svg files exported from any of the software form Affinity Suite this is not possible. The only thing I can control with CSS is the size. The only "solution" I've found as of yet is to open the svg file in Adobe Illustrator and export it again with the box "Presentation mode" ticked and only THEN I'm finally able to control the svg file as intended. I've attached 2 files exported from both Affinity Pulbisher and Adobe Illustrator Also attached are screen shots with export settings from both softwares. Just to be clear, a svg file exported from affinity software works on a web page but is not controllable with CSS. Please fix this bug asap as I don't want to be forced to keep Illustrator just to be able to produce svg files that can be controlled with CSS. affinity.svg illustrator.svg
  19. Hello, forgive me if I'm raising this subject in the wrong forum, but I found it challenging to find the correct one. This issue has bothered me for a while. If I'm creating a document specifically for publication in print form and it's in colour, I absolutely understand that it must be set up in CMYK, and exported to PDF also in CMYK. But what is the absolute correct setting when exporting a document intended for print that is in black & white. I have one printing company that I use that says it too should be exported in CMYK, and another that says it should be exported in greyscale. Admittedly, when I've chosen the advice of the former, the finished result (physical copy) is that there is not a rich black appearance; rather it comes out more on the 'brown' side. And exporting in greyscale has produced a better result. But now I'm confused, because in Affinity 2, when I hgo to set up a new document in greyscale and try to export it, I'm getting the pre-flight warning of 'Document colour profile not suitable for PDF/X'. This is suggesting to me that it's not correct to have even set up the document in greyscale. I'm really hoping to resolve this issue that seems to be so divided. For Black & White publications what is the best setting recommended in colour profile for both: 1. Document set up 2. Exporting to PDF Thank you in advance, Peter
  20. Designer 2.3 I'm trying to export my artwork to a PDF file including layers. Even if I check this option in to the export tab, the created PDF doesn't include layers viewed by any PDF reader. They only appear in Designer. Is there a way to export layers even for PDF viewers? Regards
  21. I believe the problem is in the curves, present inside the logo. The logo was taken from a file created in Illustrator. Can anyone help me export the file in svg, png and pdf. Without losing color? Artelac Complete.afdesign
  22. Not sur if this is a bug or a normal behavior. Software : Affinity Designer 2 Beta 2.3.0 (2165) My document hasn't the Transparent Background box checked on its settings window (see attached image). But when I export it in .png format using the export persona the background IS transparent. If I export it in .png using the File -> Export menu, the background IS NOT transparent (but white) as I would expect. If I export if in .pdf format using the File -> Export menu, the background IS transparent. So I'm a little confuse about it. This is a behavior I have on every files and for many time. It is anoying because I always have to put a white rectangle on my documents. Maybe I'm just misundertanding something ?
  23. I am trying to export my created data as a PDF for printing at a printing company. I don't believe there is any data extending beyond the layers, but when I export with the above settings, an extra black space appears at the top. I have placed the image data right at the 0mm mark on the X-axis of the layers, so when exporting to PDF, I would like it to be without any black space and only include the part of the data I created. This is my first time using the export function, so I would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.

  24. When I try exporting my current book project to PDF, I get an error: "An error occurred while exporting to: [location]". Searching these forums, I've tried cleaning up hyperlinks (made sure none were broken, made sure URLs didn't have spaces and the like). I also tried to narrow down where the issue is in the document by exporting chunks. I can now successful export the document in two halves without any error (pages 1-176 in one half, and 177-353 in the other), but when I try to export the entire thing, I get the error. I previously didn't have this trouble exporting this document. It's only after expanding it with more content and adding an Index that I'm seeing the problem.
  25. Would be nice if palletizing can create a global/shared pallete from entire document or selected elements. Each exported slices often have inconsistent color on continuous area such as solid color background.
