Newbee2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hello, I created a calender in DIN A3 size (420x297 mm). The same calendar has now to be printed in DIN A4 (297x210 mm). Do i have to construct all the 14 pages of this calender new? Or is it possible to scale down the afpub-document from DIN A3 to DIN A4? Thank you for helping me!!

Joachim_L Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums @Newbee2021! Visit Spread Setup. Have a look first at the Dimensions tab, change to A4, then visit the Scaling tab and click Rescale. Works "normally" fine with documents having the same ratio. But wouldn't it be enough to scale down while printing? I know, it is not exactly 71% from A3 to A4.

Newbee2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hi Joachim, thank you! maybe you´re german? So we could write in german, cause I don´t know such many of the words and expressions that are needed. So I don´t know where to find the Dimensions tab. Of course, I could send the A3 Calender to the printer company, but the document will be very big and I probably have to oder for many times - in single pages. And that is not very comfortable. Also: falls Du deutsch sprichst, dann gerne auch in deutsch. : - ) Grüße/greetings: Guenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auf den Button Layoutseite einrichten klicken, oben im Fenster Alle Layoutseiten anwählen, dann auf dem Reiter Abmessungen A4 einstellen, danach auf den Reiter Skalierung wechseln und Neu skalieren und mit OK das Fenster verlassen. Ich drücke die Daumen.

Or is it possible to scale down the afpub-document from DIN A3 to DIN A4? It is possible, as Joachim pointed out, but actually it is totally unnötig. Lass dein A3 PDF einfach in A4 ausgeben (Größe: 71 %). 🤓 Joachim_L 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbee2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 ... dankedanke, ich bin (noch) nicht so firm mit dtp-software. Ich habe es versucht, wie es Joachim beschrieben hat. Dabei wird zunächst nur die Hintergrundseite scaliert, die anderen Text- und Bildebenen nicht, die müsste ich vorher vermutlich erst rastern. Also werde ich es erstmal mit scaliertem pdf (71%) probieren. Nochmals danke, Grüße aus dem Odenwald: Guenter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbee2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Schon wieder ich: ich finde beim pdf-Export keine Skalierungsmöglichkeit. Hab`ich da was übersehen? Und bei dieser Gelegenheit: kann man die Ebenen auf eine Ebene reduzieren, wie in Photoshop? Auch das hab´ ich nicht hingekriegt....
