Actonbooks Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Hi, I set up a 6x9 page book. The exported pdf looks fine, with left and right margins correct, page size correct. When I export that pdf to Kindle Direct Publishing this happens, see below. What am I doing wrong, please? Affinity Publisher page size.pdf Quote
KarinC Posted January 17 Posted January 17 When exporting the PDF be sure that the area is set to all pages, not all spreads. PaulEC 1 Quote

Actonbooks Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Duh! Thanks. It's bbeen a long time and like a dunderhead, I forgot! Quote
KarinC Posted January 17 Posted January 17 It is easy to forget. Come on Affinity. Changing the default to all pages would be the easiest improvement in the world to do. Alfred 1 Quote
Actonbooks Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Yes, but it was still my error. I actually knew this, but forgot. However, there are a few things Affinity could tidy up Quote
PaulEC Posted January 17 Posted January 17 The reason I always think of this is that I've done it myself, more than once! (It would, of course, help if the default setting wasn't to export spreads!)

Actonbooks Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Thanks to all who have taken the trouble. Pages version slides in like a well-oiled seaboot sliding across the deck! Quote

However, there are a few things Affinity could tidy up Usability is about reducing the risk of overlooking such things, and the cure here is quite simple – and desired by the customers. But Serif isn’t fixing the problem. KarinC 1 Quote Serif, did you foolishly fill the usability specialist role you advertised internally? If so, be transparent with your customers. Continuing without proper UX expertise both insults and affects your entire customer base.
