ernie-f Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Here I'll show you an architecture magazine that I design annually with Affinity Publisher and oversee the printing and production. In the beginning the magazine was created in Indesign. After I got out of the Adobe subscription, I adapted it in Publisher and now designed it in AP for the fourth time. At the beginning there were problems with embedded customer PDFs; these were not passed through but were always somehow interpreted and therefore incorrect. Since ver. 2 this has been a thing of the past. You can view the entire magazine as a digital edition here. Have fun!

Baddy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 270 pages, that must have been a lotta work. Looks like a real fun project tho! We've switched off most Adobe products aswell. However, we haven't found a decent alternative for Preflight and so we are kinda stuck with Acrobat still. What are you using for Preflight? ernie-f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernie-f Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 @Baddy: „What are you using for Preflight?“ I use an old Acrobat Pro (CS6) version and Callas-Pdf suite to preflight and correct my PDF's from AP. The printing house uses Heidelberger Prinect and I recieve a preflight from them too. So I can check my Print-PDF. @VectorWhiz thank You verry much!

Komatös Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Moin Moin @ernie-f, wenn ich auf den Link klicke warnt mich uBlock Origin im chromebasierten Browser (Vivaldi) vor einer Bedrohung. When I click on the link, uBlock Origin warns me of a threat in the Chrome-based browser (Vivaldi). Firefox gibt eine Warnmeldung aus, dass das Öffnen mehrerer Pop-Ups verhindert wurde.

Twolane Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I use Vivaldi with uBlock Origin and Malwarebytes, as well as MS Windows Security. There are no warnings for me. Privacy Badger says there may be some trackers associated. Welcome to the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernie-f Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Thanks guys about the safety warnings. Since I am not the operator of the website, I forwarded it to the operator to fix it. Komatös 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg9 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Beautiful job and beautiful magazine! I did sort of the same as you but added in 1 more redesign. I took Skin Art Magazine from InDesign to QuarkXpress (yes, Quark), and finally to Affinity Publisher. I've been using Publisher for 5 years and haven't looked back.

ernie-f Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Hi @dannyg9: thats funny. I started with Quark in the 1990ies then switched to Indesign and since 5 Years I worked arround with AP. If you know all the DTP-Software so it's no a problem to switch to AP. The workarrounds are more or less the same. If you work with stiles, masterpages and know how to make printable PDF’s, there is no big challenge to do it in AP. Only the PDF-preflight without AcrobatPro (and/or PlugIns) can be/is a fight! I hope Affinity give us a tool to proof our Print-PDF’s. Thank You for the kind words about my Magazin-Design.
