kimaldis Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Is there any chance of an offline version of the help files. I'd like to be able to browse them on an iPad. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimaldis Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 For what it's worth, if you right click on the app and select 'show package contents', then browse down to 'Resources' you'll find a file called 'AffinityPhoto.help' select 'show package contents' again, open 'Contents' then 'Resources and copy/paste 'English.lproj' (don't !!! drag and drop it, you'll lose help out of Affinity) to somewhere else and by double clicking on 'index.html' the help pages will open in a browser. That gets you help without opening the app. So far I've only been able to get it onto an iPad by copying it to a local intranet server and browsing to it. If anyone has any further thoughts, please, let fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should allow you to browse it as a website through the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimaldis Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 That was my first thought but it seems reluctant. I can serve it from my own web server but dropbox seems to be treating it differently. I'll dig around a bit deeper, it can't be that hard.

ronnyb Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can it be supplied as a PDF or compressed HTML archive for download? carbmac 1 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarian Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 OK. If you can get it open in a browser, you can print pages to PDF on any Mac. Acrobat Pro used to have the ability to do a web capture of an entire site and save it as multipage PDF as well...haven't tried it in years. Just my $0.02.
