Joakim Svensson Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’ve copied some text from a PDF-document on the iPad and pasted in Affinity Designer (in a text frame). Upon closer inspection I see a white background behind the text (not the text frame). How do I get rid of this background, I can’t find an option that correlates to this white background anywhere.

Suchet Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Hi I’m having the same issue on my ipad Affinity Photo too - every time I type text it seems to give it a red background which seeMs to be no way to remove. Any fixes on this? And this is happening without safari being open. Edited January 17, 2021 by Suchet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Suchet. This issue has been fixed in the 1.9 beta versions (for both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer on iPad).

Jeff Haun Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I too am having the problem of white background behind copied text. I downloaded Affinity Designer 1.9 beta version and am still getting the problem- but now black is behind the letters. Any suggestions?

Staff MEB Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hi @Jeff Haun, @Hops, Welcome to affinity Forums [EDIT] Didn't notice this thread was in the iPad section, sorry. The option to remove this on desktop is not available on iPad as you noticed. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I think you explain the Desktop versions! This not available in the ipad Versions! Am I right? Edited March 25, 2021 by Hops MEB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hops Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Will it be integrated soon? I read in another post that it was already given to your development department some months or even mor than a year ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 25, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 25, 2021 Yes, this issue was logged and remains open. I do not have a eta for it though, sorry.

Staff MEB Posted March 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi hops, There's a few ways to disguise it as described in the thread linked above (here's the link again) but they are still a bit restrictive. I'm glad you've found a solution and can move on with your work. I still hope this will be added to the iPad version at some point.

Hops Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It is very easy! 1. Copy the text you want from the internet site. 2. Put it in a text frame! It will have a white background! 3. Mark and copy the text in this frame! 4. Open a second text frame and put in the text you have copied from the first frame! 5. The text has now no (or maybe transparent) background! Of course a possibility to change the text background colour like in the desktop version would be easier! MEB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lvanrem Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 This annoying bug is still not fixed, and thus I cannot use this great app on my iPad. Very annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this and initially couldn’t get it to work (but after following moderator advice) it worked perfectly. In fact I was able to copy this sites text from safari and paste it in photo without having a white background. When pasting style, don’t select text, just select the text frame.

NateRev Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I am wondering if this bug is ever going to get fixed? Its been a couple of years now. Its disconcerting that there is Seemingly little to no resolve from the developers of an otherwise great app that i use daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curl Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I am a brand new user, and just spent an disturbing amount time trying to figure out what I could possibly be missing, and I see now that it is a four year old bug that just puts a solid color background behind all text. I had some hope that affinity’s apps would finally make working on an iPad feasible, but this sort of thing makes me doubt i will go past the 30 day trial. Text being basically unusable in an app is not a bug. It’s the aliens from Starship Troopers. Please someone tell me there is a fix for this that doesn’t involve running a gauntlet of tedium.

Staff MEB Posted May 16, 2023 Staff Share Posted May 16, 2023 Hello @curl, Welcome to Affinity Forums This option (fill colour of a text frame) is only implemented in Affinity Publisher for iPad (Text Panel, Text Frame section). What iPad app are you using? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
