PDF Export

[PaulEC]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I'm sure it didn't happen in previous versions.

The PDF settings keep returning to "For Web", rather than staying on the "For Print" setting (which I always use).

As a general point, for all the apps, it would be so much better if we could set what we want as defaults, rather than continuously having to reset them.

Hi @PaulEC,

The preset shown when you open the export dialogue is always the last preset used for export. If yours is acting differently, can you attach a screen recording of this in action? 

[PaulEC]

I'm not too good at doing screen recordings, but what I do is pretty straight forward:

I always export PDFs "for print" at 300dpi. 

To do so I use the shortcut (shift+Ctrl+Alt+S) the dialogue box opens and it is set to "for web" at 72dpi.

Then I have to change it back to what I want.

The setting seems to "stick" while APub is open, but it resets every time I close and reopen the app.

Hmm... that's odd. The settings should stay unless you clear the user settings or delete the appdata folder. Try this:

Close Publisher. Navigate to %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\ and rename 1.0 to 1.0.backup. Reopen Publisher.

Thanks for that, Gabe.
It worked! - It's now staying on my preferred settings for PDF export.
(I put back some things like Assets and Workspaces, one at a time a to check if they affected it,  just to save having to redo lots of stuff - still working .)
