Affinity Publisher: add pages from files

[Pyanepsion]

Hi everyone.

The first page of each initial document is forgotten.

I created a document A and duplicated it as document B with some slight modifications: the format of the table of contents is different, and each of the chapters is of different lengths.

In each of the documents, I created the text box in the master page and then in the page part I used the software’s automatic text filling.

When we merge document B with document A, we can see in the merge window that title 1 (first page) is well detected (on the large screen video). When the merge is completed, this first page of each document has become blank and the text begins on the next page, chapter 2.

document B.afpub document A.afpub document A+B.afpub

You probably forgot to add a text frame to the left side of your master page A. And this was duplicated to the Document B.

Hello, Komatös. The text frames are all present. Maybe a bug with the filler texts?

I'm adding the AFPUB files in the first message.

[Komatös]

Maybe! If I double click on first page to edit, publisher shut down with no error message.

In my case, however, the result of the document merge looks different.

What version of Affinity Publisher is being used? Is there the same crash with the current beta version? I created the file in the beta version and it opens with the public version 9.2.1035 when double-clicked.

[Komatös]

I use the 1.9.2.1035.

Ha! I am surprised that the bug behaves differently when we are using the same version. It would be interesting to know if the bug persists with the beta.

Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ? 👍

Un jeu de mots, difficile pour les non-francophones, même si l'on utilise un dictionnaire.

I've tried with the beta 1.9.4.1076 and the result looks like as in the retail version.
