dcarvalho84 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hi. I've done a quick test and don't know if it is a bug or not but i've done a quick video. I've done a pdf with some placed numbers. Imported that file. I've done a separated file in Publisher and then placed 14 of them in a A3 page (which is the file i'm placing in the master) And i can't save the document if i have it in the master... My idea is to have a prepared file for some raffle tickets, and the idea is to just change the embedded document and have it quickly done, but i can't do it... So the question is, i'm doing anything wrong or i've found something? (Video attached) Publisher.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Maybe the "Google Drive" location is the problem. Can you save them on your desktop? Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I did a cursory test and had no problems perhaps you have a problem with one of the files you are placing.

So I am thinking there is some sort of bug involved here. Have to do more testing and experimenting. Then I tried rebuilding and came up with two master pages one with your PDF Numbers and one with the Publisher file. I applied both masters (do not have the "Replace Existing" check box ticked when applying the second master). The PDF master can then be changed for each page of numbers, I would probably do this a completely different way. rifa test 03.afpub Open the pdf numbers and apply the Affinity document as a Master and then have a second Master for your replacement text. Rifa added to 001-100.afpub You'll have to do some fine tuning and I don't really know what it is you wanted.

I really would like to do it the way i have in the video because it would be more easier to me but, i've seen your approach and maybe i can found a workaround for now. But i really would like to have an answer by @AdamW to see if it would be possible in publisher or if it is not supposed to work like Designer. ( in Designer i have something similar setup for business cards and works like a charm Business card file nested in A4 file and A4 nested in A3 file which is my print file).

Staff Jon P Posted May 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi dcarvalho84, It might be the case that another workflow works better here as Old Bruce highlights. I have reproduced this once so far on Windows, not sure why I don't seem to be able to at the moment and am still looking into this. Either way I don't think this correct behaviour so will get this logged. Thanks dcarvalho84 1 Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
