Hi,

We are pleased to announce that Affinity Publisher Customer Beta 1.9.0.857 is now available as a download from the link above.

If this is your first time using a customer beta of an Affinity app, it’s worth noting that the beta will install as a separate app - alongside your store version. They will not interfere with each other at all and you can continue to use the store version for critical work without worry.

This beta is significant update from the 1.8 version available for purchase - we strongly recommend that you do not use this beta for real work as data could be lost and the files you save are not guaranteed to open in previous or future versions of Affinity Publisher.

We have a new preflight check for the document colour profile being incompatible with PDF/X. Currently this is generating false positives. This will be fixed in the next update.
