The booklet printing of the selected range does not work.

Can you confirm that you're trying to do this...

But this is not a publisher(. Can't the Publisher do it?

The computer I was typing from had neither Acrobat reader nor Acrobat Pro. That PDF reader did not know how to print booklets.

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...

What? 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. I see.

Rearranging a page or pages to the left or right of the spine when Reflow Through Pages is off can result in the spine running through the centre of a page...

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.

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...

But note that the APL prefix to a bug tag indicates it is a request for an improvement, not a bug. I know that Dan C mentioned it as a bug, but that prefix indicates that Serif considers it as something to be improved, not fixed. In other words, a missing function.

Though from recollection Booklet printing works correctly in version 1 and is referenced as a feature in the Help file so would this not be considered a regression rather than a missing function?

I think from watching the first screen recording you mean that the page thumbnails become blank. I believe that is a known issue at least on Windows.

Are you thinking of AF-4905 which was fixed in the 2861 Beta or is this another Windows-specific issue that you've seen?

That's the one I was thinking of, I couldn't find it and didn't know it was fixed. Looks like it's not totally fixed.

The Affinity Info Bot for that post says "Large and Extra Large Page Panel Thumbnail Previews Fail in Non-Facing Page Documents When the Pages Panel is Set to its Minimum Width"

I've just tested it with a multi-page, facing-page spread on Windows and see the same issue so you're right, it looks as though it's not been totally fixed...

It potentially depends on the rest of your document layout and how your Master Pages are set up, but possibly...

This is possibly related to AF-4903 but has a different outcome...

Placing a PDF or Publisher document on partially offset pages creates a second spread instead of placing them on the respective pages in the selected spread...

Add the ability to delete pages by right-clicking in the Spread Properties. Because the Pages panel is very small and it is very difficult to select a page.

Can you upload a screenshot of your page layout including the Pages Panel...
