Affinity Publisher - Imposition on iPad


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, 

i bought the new Publisher for iPad and created a booklet to print. Now I wanted to make a test print at home. 
Sadly the iPad OS still doesn’t support a print option for booklet to make an automatic imposition. 
So I thought that there must be any option in Affinity to impose my booklet, save it as PDF and Print. But as much as I searched and checked I didn’t found any function like that. 

So I would like to ask if there is any imposition option in Affinity Publisher for iPad?

If not - Why Affinity? Why creating an app to make booklets, books, newspapers etc. with the knowledge you can’t even print it. That would have been one of the most important features. I hope that will come. 
 

Thanks for your help

I don't think Publisher on iPad supports the concept of Booklet at all, at this point.

There is very little imposition support in the Affinity applications on either iPad or the desktop. You can do Booklet printing on the desktop, but you can't do Booklet exporting in PDF format, for example.

Generally I think you're expected to create normal PDFs, and for professional printing you let the print shop do the imposition. For home printing you can do it yourself, if you have the desktop version. Perhaps it will come to the iPad, too.
