Immediately after updating to Aff. Publisher 1.9 it refuses to open the export dialogue and crashes (program shuts down completely) when I choose File -> Export. All very time wasting and such a headache! I need to send PDFs to printer!! iMac 21.5" (late 2015) quad-core intel i5, 16gb ram, Iris pro 6200 graphics. Things I've tried: I have updated to latest Big Sur (11.2) and any other updates. This problem began BEFORE updating to Big Sur, and the system update is part of my attempts to solve the issue with Publisher. If I create a new document from a template it opens the export dialogue okay and saves to PDF no problem. Opening a previously existing document won't export. Turned off hardware acceleration and OpenGL. SESL Business cards 2021-02.afpub

Just joined, folks, so I hope I am not duplicating an issue. I could not find similar. The issue is: When I open a Publisher file (3 spreads of 6 facing pages. One image per page) in Designer I only see the first spread. What I am trying to achieve is achieve is to produce 6 ‘slices’ from the images. Slices are not available in Publisher and exporting rectangular selections is not possible. I want to keep the project images together, so I started in Publisher. To export slices, I must use Designer itself (not the Designer Persona in Publisher) but it only sees the first spread of the PUB file. Any help greatly appreciated. (I am using Win 10 and Affinity 1.9)

Some of my text items reflect 84% horizontal. Is this normal? Where is the global setting?

Hi, Until the latest update I used this function all the time - I've created a Picture Frame, inserted an image and if I double clicked this image, it opened directly in Affinity Photo. Just this image, no other layers. I then could edit the image alone in Affinity Photo and after saving it took me back to Publisher. And - it did not matter whether this image was embedded or linked. But now when I double click on the image within the Picture Frame, it only zooms into this layer. And - with the image layer selected - when I switch to Photo Persona in the tope left corner, it still shows all the layers, not just the image, as I would expect. Am I missing something? Does this function have to be allowed somewhere now? Thanks.

This is something I have never before experienced with the Affinity apps: this morning neither Designer, nor Publisher nor Photo will open, either in latest release or beta versions! Attempting to open them, the correct splash screen appears for about 5 seconds and then the app closes/crashes! I've looked at the Crash Reports for all the versions and all are identical, seeming to point to a problem with graphics drivers and/or OpenCL.

This is the latest one for Designer but all three apps produce totally identical reports. I have checked that the drivers for both my iGPU and AMD Radeon R7 360 are fully up to date. There was an update for my Radeon card, installed yesterday I think. I hope this is not another example of the bug affecting Radeon RX cards now creeping down to lower-specced ones! Any and all suggestions/advice very gratefully received. TIA Jeff

Hello, while working on a document with Publisher, I noticed that a rectangle had lost its previous fill. I can't understand why this happened. What the heck was I doing there? Now I can't fill it, even a colored border is impossible. I copied this rectangle to a new file - same problem. Below a rectangle I created new: I have attached the Publisher file here and am very curious if anyone can tell me what is wrong with this colorless rectangle. Thank you very much and regards, Felix (I think the English translated with DeepL is horrible, sorry!) colorless rectangle.afpub

I've attempted to create a spreadsheet (numbers converted to CSV) and my stumbling block is file path for images. My Mac Harddrive is called MacintoshHD and the folder is called Documents2 within is a folder called Jewelry and another folder called images I've tried: MacintoshHD/Documents2/Jewelry/images but the images do not get linked. MacintoshHD:Documents2/Jewelry/images Can you help? What is the correct way to write a file path on MacOS? A tutorial file on creating a data merge spreadsheet would be fantastic. I'd write one if I could figure out the path problem, first. I did not find anything in forums & the help video and document is incomplete. thank you

I am suddenly unable to export my Publisher document as a PDF. I don't know why this has suddenly started. I have been playing around quite successfully with this project for about 2 weeks now without any problems. Is there an upper page limit or something like that ? After I got this error message a few times I examined the Pre Flight entries. Because there are so many hyperlinks and strange names that the programme flags up as errors, I have just ignored the pre-flight check until now. Contents entries need updating, so click on 'fix' Then I get told that the links on my master pages are invalid ? I also get an error message to tell me that the contents page needs updating, so I have to remake the Anchor, then re link the 3 master pages. No matter which way I do this I am going round in circles just to arrive at the beginning again. Can anyone help with this ?

I have a vertical format photo that publisher repeatedly 1.9 places in a -90˚ orientation . . . photo 1.9 opens it just fine. When I rotate the photo it retains the horizontal borders cutting off the picture
