skyking Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Few things missing for me: 1. If I create a box, for example, how can I make the color a PMS color? I can't find any way to get PMS colors. 2. No way to check separations to make sure all CMYK and PMS colors could be checked. 3. When printing (on a Mac) the dialog box showing the document has a pink background. 4. Printer marks don't print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mez Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 i've noticed APub crashes if you try to add 2 page numbering on facing page. i was following the official tutorial from Serif about adding page number and the numbers where showing on left side only so tried to create another text box and make it page number, APub simply crashed just after clicked on that second text box to make it page number. This shouldn't be the case but the software should send us a warning message preventing us from doing that manipulation (if forbidden by Serif) instead of simply crashing sayin nothing to me Dev's please fix my APub.

Yes, .128 is the latest - it's a bit confusing because it reads like .1 compared to a .5, but is actually newer. The first one probably should have been .058 in that respect nautiloda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayman Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Tables are buggy and don’t act consistent. Changing all text in a table doesn’t work right. Page thumbnails are over saturated. It might be trying to display CMYK as RGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one probably should have been .058 in that respect The dots in the version number are not for decimals, but a sequential separator. You have to read the version number as an hierarchical sequence of 4 numbers (like an IP number). 128 is greater than 58 and therefore a later sub-version of the 1.7.0 version. dorkboycomics and nautiloda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang888 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If I open a designer document including artboards, Apub crashes if I check "artboards to spread". If I don't check this Apud opens the document with one page including all artboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherRoland Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I just received in my inbox an Affinity newsletter dated "Sept. 18" that announces a new Beta (from the 17th). It's the 21st today. Is Affinity sending its emails by regular post?

JohnS1948 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Affinity Publisher is looking to be exactly what I personally need. I've been a customer and user of Adobe products as a business user for many years. I have now retired with my own (legal) copy of CS6. I was pointed to Affinity Publisher via an Adobe forum after bemoaning the fact that as I have retired and my "publishing" work is solely for local clubs, societies and voluntary work I cannot justify or afford to move to the new business model of monthly subscriptions that so many businesses are moving to. It was heartening to have many others supporting my case for some kind of "retirees" package! I am very pleased to see that Serif (whose products I have used occasionally over many years) is likely to provide me with what I can see so far with a quality replacement for InDesign at the level of functionality I need and, who knows, other applications to enable me to keep working with local voluntary and other clubs and societies. In the coming weeks and months I can see myself experimenting with Affinity Publisher and if I can will contribute to the development processes and teams. Keep up the good work!
