  1. Hi folks, hello Serif-Team, I need to export my work as PDF/X (3), many advertising agencies, printing companies or clients ask for it. Will Affinity Designer support this important format/settings? If so, when? ;)
  2. I think it'd be a great addition to be able to open secured PDF files by having a prompt to enter the document's password (if this is not already possible, please correct me if I'm wrong). I work for a graphic design company and our PDFs have to be secured. However, when I try to open them with AD it just says 'Failed to open PDF file - The file requires a password' with no option to unlock by entering the password. Just an idea which could be very useful.
  3. Hey, today I tried to open a print ready PDF document. If I open the same document in Preview, in Acrobat or even Safari it loads as it is with all stuff for printing. If I open the same document in AD, it opens just the area inside the cutting lines. Is there a way to open it as it is or where I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, hp
  4. Here is something odd, I just exported a file to pdf and the strokes on a title, made my strokes mitered! I didn't change anything. Please let me know if I need to change something.
  5. I have been trying to import a pdf into affinity designer and it doesn't seem to give me an option to import as an image. It therefore imports, but doesn't have the correct fonts, so messes up all the text within the pdf. Is there any way to import a pdf as an image?
  6. I have created a paperback book cover in Affinity Photo, and now I want to export it as PDF to send it to the printer. I cannot figure out how to export a PDF that looks anything like what I see in Affinity Photo. (Nor can I export anything that looks right in any other format, for that matter.) Here is a screenshot of what the cover looks like in the Export Persona: Here is what the PDF (for print) preset produces (I made no adjustments to the preset): donation-cover-paperback.pdf This export appears to include the one pixel layer from the document, with at least some of the adjustments applied to turn the bills from dollar-bill color to blue. I cannot explain the grainy waviness. I have some fill layers, which either do not appear in the PDF or appear as white. My document has a layer mask that fades the edges of the pixel layer into the background fill layer, but it does not appear to fade here. The text (in layers above the fills and pixel layers) does not appear at all. The original image is dollar-bill colored dollar bills, with a certain amount of focus blur, but otherwise no fuzziness. Here is what the TIFF RGB 8-bit preset produces (I made no adjustments to the preset): donation-cover-paperback.tiff This appears to be the adjusted image, but without the text, and without the layer mask that fades the edges of the image. Again the text is completely missing. JPEG export looks similar to TIFF. I get these results from the "page" predefined slice in the Export Persona, and from the File -> Export command. The only thing I've been able to do that seemed to work is to merge the document into a single layer, then export that as PDF. I'm not sure I want to rasterize the text (I have never sent the printer rasterized text before, and am unsure whether the results will be what I want). Any clues about where I'm going wrong?
  7. Hi, as part of my work, sometimes I have to open existing PDF documents (created in Adobe's kingdom by ID) and edit the text and/or add/change some images, export again as PDF and re-integrate in the multi-page document (a catalogue of sorts). For this I pull out the page from the document (I tried both dragging it out and opening the entire document in AD and selecting the target page, just to make sure), applying the changes and exporting (both with and without slices) the page as PDF for print. However the output file tends to be relatively huge (20X or more than original!) as compared to the page I dragged out of the original document (in the example 255 kb VS 7 mb). I tried to play around with export options and I managed to get it down to 3+ mb, but at this point the quality in unacceptable. Could you please shed some light on this? I'm attaching sample files. Thanks a lot and BTW, looking forward Affinity Publisher. I apologise in advance if my lack of knowledge on PDF lead to this. 04.pdf PRESENTAZIONE-ADRIANODESIGN-2015-03 (dragged).pdf
  8. Hi there! These is my first time posting in AD forum :) I have a question (sorry if this was answer before). I was working in a file of A4 size, when i finish i export it to PDF to be printed. But when i print appears border in the page, border that no appears in AD file or PDF file. Is any way to resolve this? and can print in a full page? Thanks a lot!
  9. Hi there, I'm working with a document currently that has several embedded .afdesign files (as they were created in Affinity originally). However, when I export the document, all these elements are rasterised and become ugly. This is an issue as I'd like to be able to have one logo which I make tweaks to, embedded in some mockups. Is there a way around this? I really like the way embedding is implemented other than this. Cheers, D
  10. I am trying to migrate from Adobe Illustrator to AD I created a simple document containing only PDF text exported from Pages and Numbers. Fonts were embedded. The final document was then exported from AD as a PDF when viewed using Preview on Mac the result is blurred until I zoom in whereupon it becomes crisp. the same PDF when viewed using Adobe Reader is sharp all the time. If I create a similar document with previous workflow using Illustrator, the resulting PDF is sharp when viewed in either Preview or Reader I have attached 2 files hoping to illustrate the problem - one has AD in the filename, the other ai (for Illustrator) Any suggestion please? For the time being I'm having to revert to Illustrator (unwillingly) test AD PDF output.pdf test ai PDF output.pdf
  11. Hi there, i'm a newbie. I was designen a poster for the university an. Now I wanted to print it in DIN A1. But everytime I export it with to PDF I have a big white area. Can anyone help me. I need to print it tomorrow. Thank you very much Plakat Gewächshaus.afdesign
  12. Hi All, I am a new user here. Really love the AD and amazed by its feature and speed. However, I just found out the clipping mask with gradient effect I made in AD were pixelated after export in .eps and .pdf file. I didn't check "Rasterise unsupported effects" but the result is just disappointing. The original file in AD looks sharp when zoomed in, but not the case in AI and PDF. Can anyone help me here? thanks! AI AD test.afdesign
  13. Hi All, I am very much a newbie to AD and this is my first post, so thanks in advance for your patience. I making the switch to Designer from Corel Draw, which I have been using since v.5 (now v.X5) (bring on the .cdr import filter!). Unfortunately, I seem to be misunderstanding something about the process of exporting in AD. Now, to become familiar with AD, I have been playing with several simple designs (plans really) that include a base bitmap (its own layer) that is overlain by vector and text layers. When I export the design as seen on the screen (File > Export > PDF ('for print')) the exported file only shows one vector layer has exported plus some text layers. The other vector layers, text and one other image (a logo) are not present. I have tried exporting after selecting all the relevant layers (either by click-drag the Move tool, or selecting each layer I want to export using Command (click) from the Layers list) with the same result. When I click on where the image should be (listed as an embedded object in the Layers panel) a light blue rectangle, that approximates the size and location of the image, appears. I have tried the same process, but chosen jpeg as the export format, but again only one layer actually is exported. I will be very grateful to anyone who can assist me in overcoming my ineptitude.

  14. Good morning, I have some questions about PDF export setting. Context : I'm working in a printshop, we are working on PDF files with our customers. Color Management -> What is the color motor for conversion on these software ? -> It could be replace Adobe ACE, Adobe PDF Libray, or specific conversion tools without any problems ? (conversion ICC or Device Link in RVB -> CMJN ; CMJN -> CMJN ; or anything else). -> I have see that my PDF was converted by Apple Quartz on my PDF (exported by Adobe Designer). will you add some other options in the future ? -> How is managed transparency in your PDF ? Export setting -> do you use the Adobe PDF Print Engine for export PDF (APPE) ? in the future ? -> in the future, did you add other advanced setting for exporting PDF ? (like PDF/X certified, PDF version 1.4, etc.) I know that my questions concerned more an "Affinity Publisher" than Designer or Photo, but I think the same question make sens on both. Regards, Senjou'
  15. Hi, I often design some assets for mobile apps and I usually encounter this problem. At design time, I'm used to use the "Erase" mode for some shapes (using compound shapes and/or cutting the underlaying shapes does not work in cases I need to use gradient fills or colored strokes). During export to vector formats, these "Erase" effects get rasterized, which is not what I need for the mobile app assets. In the end, I have to make copies of all the designs and "flatten" them manually, which is really slow and tedious process... I have to expand all strokes, convert many shapes to curves and make boolean cuts them with the "Erase" shapes over them. So, would it be possible to either support vectorized output of the "Erase" effect, or at least add some automated flattening procedure for layers / groups? Thanks for considering. This would be a huge time saver in my work flow :)
  16. Hi team! Why some exports to PDF resulted on a "big white square" on Windows PC? On Mac OS and iOS I can open the file normally but not on Windows PC -> Except if I open the PDF with Chrome on Windows PC! INSULA - Côtés de scène.pdf
  17. When exporting to a PDF, my embedded documents are rasterized, which is problematic for printing. Please rework this system so that, upon export, the objects from the embedded document are "extracted" so that the PDF can contain all vectored assets.
  18. Hey again, I have to deliver a GRACoL coated PDF for printing frequently. - Is that possible with Affinity? I didn´t see a matching profile. - Are there plans to add that profile (quite common in the US) - Is there any profile close by GRACoL (and I mean close enough to work as a professional printing solution)? Thanks in advance for any help, David
  19. I'm hoping to move from Illustrator to Affinity. I have a PDF file that contains a small icon which I'm using for an iPhone app. I created the file using Illustrator, and have been using that PDF without problem. When I import the file into Affinity, make some changes, and then export as a PDF however, the image looks horrible in the app. It's blotchy and does not appear to contain opacity information (everything is at 100%). Am I missing something?
  20. How do I put several sheets or pages and then export as a PDF? I need to do a digital book. Como hago para poner varias hojas o páginas y luego exportar como un PDF? Yo necesito hacer un libro digital. En Corel Draw se puede hacer.
  21. How do I put several sheets or pages and then export as a PDF? I need to do a digital book Necesito saber si se puede poner mas hojas para luego exportar en PDF.
  22. When I embedd several AD files into a new AD-file and export this new file as a pdf, the elements obviously are not exported as vector files. Exporting the source files in the same way separately, let me zoom into the pdf file without the fonts getting pixalated. Is this a bug or how can I set AD to treat the embedded files as vector files? Thanks
  23. Congratulations on creating this app. I just started testing it and it shows great promise. I look forward to working through the Beta release. I usually use Pixelmator (or Ps) to open and crop a pdf of a piece of sheet music to prepare for publishing it in a document. It opens fine in PXM with transparent background but in Afp musical elements are misplaced (key signature and notes) and no transparency. Are there limits presently or other criteria a pdf must meet for opening correctlly? Steve
  24. Hi, there. 1. Is there any way to export all layers as PDF ? 2. Or, any shortcut key to export file to PDF ? thanks
  25. Does Affinity allow the importing of multiple-page PDF documents? If so, will it simply export the multi-paged document the same way it came in?
