PNG export in Publisher - can't generate transparent background


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

let me start by saying I love, love, love the new data merge feature from Publisher. I've almost managed to migrate my complete workflow from Photoshop to Affinity!

Right now there's one critical issue left for me:

I have created a new publisher document by using the data merge export. The product looks fine so far, but I need every single page to be exported to a PNG file with transparent background.

The export tool automatically creates separate pages, great, but I'm unable to get a transparent background. When placing the png into a new Affinity Photo document with colored background, the export png has a white background with the size of the original Publisher document.

Is there a way to achieve this? This would possibly allow me to cancel my Adobe subscription completely...

Cheers, Christian aka SirWillibald

Set your Publisher document to have a transparent background. It is in the Colour section of the File > Document Setup... 

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
