stevef54 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm interested in determining if Affinity Designer will meet my needs. Is there a online or PDF manual I can review before making a purchasing decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff James Ritson Posted October 6, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi Steve, you can check out the online help which documents all the software features here: http://affinity.help/beta/designer - there are various topics, such as Key Features in the Introduction book, that give a general overview of the software’s functionality, and then you can find more in-depth topics in most of the other books. If you’re looking for specific tools (e.g. Node tool, Selection tools, Shape tools etc) they’re found in the Workspace book. Alternatively, the link is tucked away at the bottom of the main Designer website page, but there’s also a no-frills feature list page which you can get to here: https://affinity.serif.com/designer/full-feature-list/ Hope that helps!

zer0-0ne Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Is there a PDF version of the online help or a easy way to save it as PDF? I own affinity designer and that's the closest thing to a manual and I'd like to be able to make annotations or bookmark certain pages.

You can bookmark sections of the online help in just the same way as you would with any other web pages; e.g. Symbols or Exporting using Export Persona. As for making annotations to a PDF file, install a PDF printer driver and then ‘print’ the relevant pages to it so that you can add whatever notes you want.

Indeed, i did not look at the version number, still might be handy for the basics Alfred 1 Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is being offered for sale is an implementation of a set of features, not merely a list of those features!
