Sharpeirox Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I have looked and found no other info regarding my problem. I am creating a six page document of A5 size. I am placing (on separate layers) text, images, background and borders (for printing). The first page has no issues and works when exporting to png. The second and third appear squashed and the background is not visible. I am unsure what I am doing wrong as none of the page settings have changed from the first page. I saved & exited. The second page worked, I did a little extra on page 3, came back to 2 and it was squashed again. I figure it surely cannot be something I am doing wrong (I hope) since it worked once then reverted back again. I don't know where to start to try and fix and issue that isn't consistent.

carl123 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Your 3rd and 4th screenshots show a width of 4961px which is double the first two screenshots and no longer an A5 document. Any reason for this? Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Sharpeirox Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 No idea. I created a 6 page document and no idea why it changes. Sometimes the page shows correctly and sometimes it doesn't. Nothing was changed. I am just adding elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 We may need you to upload the Affinity document, to the forum, so we can see what could be happening If you do not want to upload it here you can request a private dropbox upload link and one of the forum moderators will provide one when they get around to this thread Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Sharpeirox Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 I am happy for this to be uploaded to a private dropbox. I have tried changing the page sizes again but it just keeps reverting back. I am fairly new to Affinity and just hope I am not being a numpty and have accidentally ticked (or unticked) some box or other and wasting peoples' time. Not sure about if the sizing issue since it PDFs normally. Just trying to figure things out and I believe the size is the issue. For some reason it is showing pages 2 and 3 as one page. If I choose pages instead of spreads in 'area' and then select page 2 in 'page' it seems to fix the error. I have no idea why it has done this but it seems to fix the error. Apologies if this was posted unnecessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted September 25, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hi @Sharpeirox, If you'd still like to upload the file, I've created a Dropbox link here and I'll be happy to see if i can replicate the issue and find out why that's happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for taking a look. I am in the process of converting all my files over from Adobe and learning Affinity along the way. I do believe that this is the issue and if I change the 'All Spreads' to Pages, the issue is resolved. I am not sure why it has decided to do this but I am happy for any and all feedback. My documents are a bit of a mess (apologies) but I am trying something new and my OCD makes me get a little carried away with regards to how many things I try at any given time.
