sdn Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi, In attempt to export PNGs (All Pages) for my project, the "include bleed" option is grayed out. Is this by design, or a bug? Publisher allows bleed to be included when selecting "All Spreads", or when using TIFF - but for this project I need PNG. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this by design, or a bug? I can confirm that this is a bug in the current retail version of Publisher - however this has already been fixed in our latest beta version! I believe you are using Windows, so please find a link to the latest Windows beta below - This can be installed alongside your retail version, so that you have 2 different versions of the app installed at the same time. Please make a copy of any existing documents before opening them in the beta, as once you have saved an .afpub file in the beta, you will be unable to open it in the retail version. I hope this helps!

Does this apply only to the Windows version? I ask because it seems to be working for me in the Mac 1.9.3 retail version of APub.

RenWaller Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It appears that this is still an issue in the MAC version of 1.10.1 :+( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 7, 2021 Staff Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi @RenWaller, Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I can confirm I have created a multi-page document with bleed within Affinity Publisher macOS and when exporting to PNG with All Pages selected, I am able to enable the Include Bleed option in the More... dialog. Can you please provide a screenshot or screen recording showing this issue for me? Do you have Bleed enabled within your document? Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Kodiakkb Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hello, I'm having the same issue with PDF. When choosing the "ready for printing" preset, the bleed checkbox is checked (even if greyed out) but in the advanced menu it is unchecked and still greyed out, so as soon as I make a change in the settings, the bleed is disabled. My bleed guides are then printed outside the bleed, it's a bit useless Affinity Photo fo Windows 1.10.4.1198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiakkb Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 ... In the export persona, the checkbox is not greyed out in the export options panel but checking "include print guides" does nothing in the output PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This usually happens when your Affinity document doesn't have bleed setup - which 'greys out' the Bleed option in the Export dialog. I've tested this here and I was able to see this behaviour with no bleed in my document, then I enabled bleed and returned to the export dialog, where this could be reselected. If possible, can you please provide a screenshot of your 'Document Setup' dialog, with the Bleed values showing? Alternatively, you can upload a copy of the .afphoto file itself here and I will investigate further Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

I attached a .afphoto. My goal is to have a PDF with both bleed and cut guides. troubleshooting.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately within Affinity Photo directly, there is no option to set a bleed value - however this is possible in both Affinity Designer / Publisher. Using the file provided, I have removed the Printer Margins, then editing the document in Affinity Designer, I added 3mm of bleed around the full document. Please find this edited file attached, although there is no control within Affinity Photo, you will find when exporting to PDF the Bleed will now be included, as expected. If you do happen to own either Designer / Publisher already, please let me know and I will be happy to walk you through the steps above, so that you can do this yourself as required. troubleshooting_bleed.afphoto I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Kodiakkb Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you, I'll export my files with the trial version of Designer then. If you'd plan on including this feature in Photo, I'd be delighted Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
