I can't export with bleed on a Affinity book (Publisher)

Maybe is a bug with .afbook files?

To test this it needs a V2 user. – Are you able to export a new .afbook, made of just two nearly 'empty' .afpubs with bleed?

Hi @Gnaciux,

I'm not able to re-produce this on a test .afbook document I've created, the 'Include Bleed' option remains accessible when exporting from the books panel dialog, could you send me a copy of you .afbook file along with the chapter .afpub files so I can inspect your document? I've provided a private upload link below.

Many thanks

Hi @Gnaciux,

Thanks for the files, you're correct in that it's not possible to export your .afbook file out to a PDF with the bleedbox included, though the problem is not specific to your file as on Windows I cannot export a basic blank document with bleed included via the Book export function, the option remains disabled regardless and I have to manually export out the individual chapter(s) to get a bleed.

In my earlier post I had only conducted the test on Mac where the 'Include Bleed' option remains accessible so long as there is a bleed set on the chapters, i'll get this Windows-specific bug logged with the developers.

I've not identified a way to workaround this on Windows outside of manually exporting out the individual chapters, though as a one off since I have access to both Mac and Windows I can offer to export your .afbook file from MacOS with bleed if you send me a screenshot of your desired PDF export settings and send you a private download link for the file.

Hi! sorry for late respond. Thanks for the proposal! Could be, but this is a Work in Progress with maybe some changes in future. Is a work for sending in some months, so I hope that it will solved in next updates. How long could be do the solution?

This issue is logged as a priority so it should hopefully be fixed come the next beta/release, but it's not something that I'd be able to provide a timeframe for I'm afraid.

I am on Windows and can also confirm the inability to export a defined bleed on export via the Book hamburger menu export. I have been starting to use this feature find it to be a useful option in making books. Hope it gets fixed soon.

How soon is the beta, please?   I've just encountered this issue with a book that I need to send off to print soon.

Thanks.

As @Patrick Connor said in the other topic you responded to a few minutes earlier, "hopefully in just a couple of weeks".
