Milos Micatek Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 To be inspired by the downloadable Affinity Photo Help I've created ibook for Affinity Designer. Hopefully it is OK to share it within this community. Download link: https://app.box.com/s/feur5p14invtuqz6c9rs6qm7wohsj3g5 Notes: All credits belong to Affinity team :) It is not 100% copy of original Help in AD. The formatting is slightly different (page layout, bullets, colours, etc.) so don't be confused. The file format is .ibooks. Sorry, I didn't use EPUB or other but I guess every user has iBooks installed :) Sorry if some references / hyperlinks are missing. I use old-fashioned "copy&paste" method to create this file. I've exported this file from iBooks Author to PDF too, but for some reason the hyperlinks don't work. Anyway if you prefer PDF here is the download link. _dave_, Carlavsa, GregMcMahan and 6 others 8 1 Quote • MM Font Factory •

REW Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Thanks Milos Was a long time cdr user (since ver 3), and have been going through withDRAWalls since moving to a mac 2 years ago. AD is not the same prog that I know inside out but it's likely better in a number of areas. Now that I have the cheat sheet - less time wandering - more time producing. Cheers! Milos Micatek 1 Quote

Are there any plans to update it to the latest version 1.6.x, or will we have to wait until 1.7.0? It would also be nice to have a Windows version: the current one uses Mac shortcuts (and perhaps other Mac-specific UI references).

Zalel Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Can you please add a link to the Affinity Designer Help PDF? Quote
Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 11, 2019 Staff Posted April 11, 2019 @Zalel Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums There isn't a PDF of the Affinity Designer help file as a PDF, sorry. (There isn't really a current Affinity Designer Help in iBook either, as the one in this thread is very old I think. ) Serif own the copyright on their documentation and do not approve of the help file being converted to other formats. The help file for the desktop version is online here http://affinity.help/designer and here http://affinity.help/photo Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Zalel Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks, Patrick. Judging by all that I’ve read, eventually AD will be an app I’m very happy with. Eventually. Now however, I feel annoyed with the need to find documentation for every single action. (1987 was my Illustrator birth year.) I think that if they tackled this problem better, they could increase adoption more quickly. Quote

CJGould Posted March 21 Posted March 21 It would be VERY useful to have the manuals as a flat PDF for one simple reason. You can than upload them to Google NotebookLM. Basically, this is like having the manual and an(AI) expert who knows the manual back to front. For example, if you want an answer to a specific question - rather than searching through the manual for an answer, you just ask the AI assistant and it reads the manual and gives you an instant answer. Furthermore, if you are still not clear, you can hold a 'conversation' with the AI to dig down deeper. It really is a fantastic tool (just do a search on Youtube for NorebookLM to see the power of this thing). Believe me, it totally transforms accessibility to complex manual and makes finding information a breeze. ronnyb 1 Quote

CJGould Posted May 28 Posted May 28 How is it violating copyright, when you can freely download the original document? Obviously, it would only be available to download by those who have purchased the software (who else would need it?). I do not see the problem. Quote
