Greeting.
I have a really stupid question. Sorry for my amateur knowledge. I can't find anywhere in Affinity Designer where I can set the automatic page number settings. I would like the page numbers to be visible on the printed material - several pages.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi @Sarolta

There is no page number counter for Designer. This is only possible in Publisher.

Thank you, your answer. Is it also not possible when exporting to PDF?

Right, it's not possible. You need Publisher for this job.

I'm very sad. I downloaded the trial version of the publisher. I created a master page where I set the page number with the frame text tool, but the page numbers do not appear on the page :(
What do I do wrong?

Have you applied the Master Page to your document pages?

You have to assign the master page to your actual pages. Also did you just write the number or did you use the Page Number from the Right Click menu?image.png.276682dad0bd56d4debabb0043cf3a3d.png

You cannot create an Artboard in a document if the document has more than 1 Page or it has a Master Page. And you cannot have both Artboards and Pages in a document.

You can convert a document with Artboards into one with Pages. Or, if you have a document with exactly 1 Page and no Master Page, you can convert that Page to an Artboard.
