exporting to pdf v2 affinity publisher issues

[Sheri Medforrd]

 

When I export to pdf I don't get a preview, plus I get every page in my book saved separately instead of one document?

Can you expand some more on the issue you're having. Previews can sometimes take awhile to generate depending on the content. Are you saying that if your document is 10 pages for example when exporting to PDF you are getting 10 separate PDF files? Could it be that you get one PDF file but when opened in the PDF viewer you're seeing 10 individual pages? If so on the Export window check to make sure Area is set to All Spreads.

I am trying to publish my coloring book on KDP amazon publishing. It will not upload and they say it is because I have layers. So I looked at the pdf export window and turned off layers , resaved and it still won't upload. I need help with what the different windows mean on the export page because I must have inadvertantly changed something because my original pdf of the manuscript uploaded fine, but I had to redo something in the file and so I did, then resaved and now it won't load on their site. I turned off the layers so does that mean its flattened? Is there a screen shot shomewhere to explain what is going on. 

 

Also when I hit the preview button all I get is one image off of one page. no document. other times it is just black.

 

Also sometimes I go to my files and instead of saving just one pdf, there is ond pdf for each page. so I have to go through and delete all those, but I don't know what I am doing wrong so that happens.

 

Also, I don't understand the save part. the pdf generates and then I go to share files and save it and hit ok. Then another window comes up with move, so I hit that and it changes windows to save, and then asks if I want to replace or save both. What I want is to save one pdf to on my ipad folder??///.  sometimes it shows up on icloud, or ipd, or recents. and sometimes it way down instead of up on the top, so I have to hunjt for it every timne. 

 

Also, I fixed the bleeds in my publisher book file and then thought I would lock them so they didn't shift. but when IU needed to unlock the pages, they would not unlock. I go to the 3 dots and the lock function is not selected, but the page (layer) is locked. I don't want to have to re- layout my whole book. how do I unlock the pages?
