Publisher: PDF export settings always revert to export "All Spreads"

[Peter Werner]

The "Area" setting in the PDF Export dialog box reverts to "All Spreads" every single time the "Export" command is invoked on any document.

Other settings in that dialog box seem to be more persistent, so I assume this is a bug.

I have to use the "All Pages" setting quite often, hence this can become a bit frustrating to change every time. And if I miss it, I have to go back and re-export the PDF one more time.

Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 on Windows 10.

Hi Peter, I don't know if it's considered a bug or a feature request but there are lots of posts on this forum asking for it to be changed. Serif is aware of the issue.

Thanks for the reply!

For some reason the search function did not give me any resultswhen I searched for a workaround before posting, but now I do seem to get several results. Maybe I misspelt something or just used the wrong terms earlier.

Sorry for the noise everyone!

Hello,

same problem.  It's a bug and not a feature. The preset must save all settings that were set in the Export Window. Otherwise, what do I need the presets for if I have to readjust them afterwards? From my point of view, the default ‘all layout’ does not make sense. In the early days when I started working with the Publisher, I often fell into the ‘trap’ because I was so used to the Indesign (page) default.

regards, Uwe
