Hi,

does anyone have an idea where the § comes from and how I can hide it. A logo I got as a PDF has this in all the text boxes as info and it drives me crazy.

The § is a section mark. Like other special characters, its visibility can currently only be switched on or off in Affinity Publisher.

When you save the file after enabling ‘Show Special Characters’ in Publisher, it’s saved with the special characters displayed, so when you reopen it in any Affinity app those characters will still be displayed. I’m sure you and I are not the only users who would like to be able to switch off their visibility in Designer and Photo.

Surely it would make more sense not to save the file with special characters showing. I can't imagine why anyone would want to, they could just re-enable it again if they need it when they reopen the file. It should be just a view option within Publisher not saved with the file itself.

the 10 year old logo pdf I got 100% never face the publisher. If I just open the file, the special characters is not visible, it only shows, when I start work in the text box, but after that, it shows all the time.

I think that there is a bug which causes Affinity Designer to be stuck with Show Special Characters = On for all the various files it opens until it is restarted and has no special-characters-turned-on file open.

Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

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