Dazmondo77 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Noticed a bug with imported pdfs - the measurements always default to points but in the latest build you can no longer change to mm or cm or whatever - I've tried with a few imported pdfs and it's the same with all - spread setup, all spread, show in units, change points to mm - OK = still points It did bomb Pub after a few goes (and I lost all my panel placements) and tried restarting a few times + rebooted my mac but still having the problem Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.4.3 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.4.0 Betas 2.5.0(2430) www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, after trying to change the units in Spread Setup, on closing that window the app does not even show "<Modified>" in the title header or ask to save changes if I just close the document after only making that change. This also crashes the app after closing the document.

MikeW Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Fwiw, the internal measurement in pdfs is points. Which is likely why Serif uses it upon opening a pdf. Other applications I use do not do this and I think Serif ought to use whatever units a user has as their default units. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least allow users to change the units to whatever they want to work with in APub after importing a PDF, much like we can do with PDF's imported into Affinity Designer.

Chris_K Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi Dazmondo77 The units in the spread setup are purely for display in that dialog for setting up a spread with specific dimensions. To change the overall units shown for the document go to the document setup menu and change the units there Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
