eduardotanco Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hello! I have encounted a bug with PDF and Affinity designer. Multiple instences of a same PDF linked (each instace showing a different page of the PDF) to a Designer document shows the same page when saving and then reopening the document. When i link a PDF to a document, duplicate it multiple times (so i can see multiple pages of the PDF), an then reopen the document, the views of the linked PDF shows the same page instead of a diferent page in each instance of the pdf as i set up in the first place. Olso when changing one of the dulicated views fron pasthrugh to interpretate, an then save the document, Designer crashes (The issue does not happend when enbeding the PDF to the Designer document) I made a video of the issue here: I will link the pdf document i use for the example (but i have tried with multiple ones and same result) Affinity designer 2.4.1 - Windows 11 - 23H2 - AMD ryzen 5 , rtx 3060 12gb, 64gb of RAM Grabación 2024-04-01 000848.mp4 Publisher Manual Sep 18 2023.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hi @eduardotanco, I believe the first page being incorrectly displayed when re-opening the saved file is a known bug though having said that I can't locate a bug reference... I'm not entirely sure but I think this was logged originally as a Publisher Bug. The issue no longer exists in Publisher which leads me to believe it may have been fixed for Publisher only but it still exists in both Designer and Photo... I see the same issue on macOS... Even though this is the Windows forum, I've attached a couple of macOS crash reports for the crash when switching one of the Placed PDF instances to Interpret and then saving in the hope it will point to the cause of the issue...

Staff NathanC Posted April 5 Staff Share Posted April 5 Hi @eduardotanco, Thanks for your report, I've replicated and logged this with the developers. @Hangman the only similar one I could find logged internally was AF-28, which was a bug relating to linked document's artboard view reverting back to the first artboard, so I've logged this as a new separate bug for Photo/Designer only under AF-2662.

Staff Affinity Info Bot Posted April 17 Staff Share Posted April 17 The issue "Linked multi-page PDF files default to Page 1 when re-loading the document, changing passthrough policy subsequently causes an app crash" (REF: AF-2662) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.5.0.2392". This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release. Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions. If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Affinity Info Bot to notify us.
