Publisher: Export/Import PDF export preset files?

[IR_HL]

Hi

Just started using Affinity Publisher but I can't find a way to export (or import) the PDF export presets I have made within Publisher. Is this feature available? If not available through the interface can I find the preset file on my system and supply it to another user to drop into their location so they can use it?

 

Many thanks,

Iain

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Iain.

There's no way to export or import those presets through the user interface (UI).

If you're on Windows, I would expect them to be in %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\user\file_export_options.dat and you should be able to copy that between users, at least as long as they're using the same version of Publisher. (The file would probably also work in Designer or Photo, at the same version.)

If you're on Mac I defer to someone else

Thanks Walt. I am indeed on Windows and I can see my preset name listed in the .dat file. Obviously if I share that file with another user it will include all my presets (rather than the one I wish to share), plus if they replace that file on their system they will lose any presets they had configured.

It's a shame there is no option for exporting/importing these things (like there was in PagePlus) as professional printers like to share their presets to clients - it could help with the software's uptake in that market. I think I will add it as a feature request!

Anyway, thanks again Walt.
