As mentioned twice above, there is a known bug in Publisher which looks as though it was originally logged under APL-1517 and means Booklet Printing isn't working. As far as I'm aware this has been the case since the release of Version 2.0... A quick forum search for Booklet Printing shows 411 posts, many relating to this very issue. That's all I can really tell you, it's not unique to the 2.6 Beta or to multipage spreads, it's a long-standing bug still awaiting a fix... Affinity Publisher is supposed to support Booklet Printing as shown in the Help file... https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Publishing/print.html&title=Print My hope is that this bug will be fixed in a future version as it seems to be an issue raised often in the forums...

This is not serious maintenance, prioritization, management of the product, nor of the customers' interests and investment. It is not a small problem, a minor flaw, or a trivial impact on the customers. Alright, I am writing a very critical note in my evaluation form, which I am to submit up the hierarchy, where quality software with assurances of stability both over time and today is being demanded. 24 months and counting since release of 2.0 and no remedy.

Hangman Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Rearranging pages to the left or right of the spine when Reflow Through Pages is off misplaces the pages overlapping the first two pages and therefore offsetting the remaining pages by one page but it doesn't offset the objects contained on the respective pages... For example, once all five pages are positioned to the right of the spine, pages 1 and 2 overlap, evidenced when using Go to Page. Misplaced Pages.mp4 Subsequently, while the object on page 5 (in this case the number 5) is correctly positioned, because page 2 overlaps page 1 it appears as though page 5 is missing but in practice, pages 2 to 5 are offset by one page to the left as evidenced in the Spread Properties panel when the X and Y coordinates for page 1 and page 2 share the same X value... all other pages are offset by a complete page to the left...
