Draga Marcel Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) First of all hello all, I'm totally new to the whole Affinity thing, just bought the whole package, and I'm totally loving the apps! So, the issue at hand involves page numbering, I have a 300+ page book that I started a while ago in InDesign, made the switch to Affinity Publisher, with a proper IDML export (BTW for everyone importing IDML files into Affinity, I suggest before hand you go and change some performance preferences, turn everything to slow/low quality, also don't give Affinity all of your RAM or you're gonna have a bad time, actually I guess this should be done either way). I got to working on Affinity Publisher, had to readjust some text frames, no biggie, but then the issue appeared when I had to add some extra pages into the book, these extra pages are PDF extension, added through Affinity's "Add Pages From File..." option, it worked well without an issue, I noticed the pages didn't get numbered automatically from the master numbering thing, figured I'd delete the master and just add new numbering straight from Affinity (the numbering was imported from the original IDML master). So I did that, I added numbering in the master spread, all good, but when I scrolled down on my book, I noticed that at the pages that I have imported from the PDF file, the numbering gets reseted to 1, and then, on each section that I added new pages from the PDF file it does this, so now my book goes like 1-50, 1-60, 1-etc. till the end of it. Weird part is, it resets on the first page I added from the PDF file, and goes with the numbering till the next first page that I added from the PDF file. HELP.

Old Bruce Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi and welcome to the forums @Draga Marcel , Check your sections, although you haven't said you added some perhaps it occurred when you did the "Add Pages from File..." I will wager you have a new section there and it is starting the numbering from 1 instead of continuing the numbering. Document > Section Manager...

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realized that Publisher would do that, Bruce. Thanks for pointing it out.

I thought of that myself, not sure if I actually checked that or not (so tired ATM), will do tomorrow morning. Edit: Thank you very much, this was the case for me, it's weird that such an option is set as default. Thank you again!
