Currently working on a heavily illustrated 240 page book with #Affinity2 #Affinity2Publisher. It's good but does have a few stability issues - I tend to get several crashes per day so a habit of frequent saving pays off. Have not found the best method of importing Google Docs content although placing files saved as rtf seems best but tends to create duplicates of similar styles that have to be reassigned. Anyone got suggestions for a better way?
Also, book export comprised of separate afpub files always fails, fatally.
Worrying. I have something I'm working on that will need that. :-/
@Homebrewandhacking I have worked around the book export issue by saving chapters as pdf and then merging them in #Foxit. So long as each chapter starts on the rh page it works ok.
@Mammut Mm I'll have to look into foxit. Thanks! I expect the convert to pdf might work with publisher too. I'll check it out!
@Homebrewandhacking For the record, I have created new copies of my files without the previous glitches that had crept in. The Book export is now working and a couple of other issues have also gone, one of them being to find/replace text styles successfully.
Amazing! What did you do differently?
@Homebrewandhacking I had two documents created from the same template which had two sections but one of the sections had become corrupt somehow and could not be deleted. I recreated each document from a clean template. That seems to have worked but it took some time. I needed to get it correct so that the remainder of the book (each chapter is a separate file) comes together properly. Hope this helps!
Ah thank you. So it was a corruption of the original files rather than an inherent problem with affinity? Reassuring!
@Homebrewandhacking After reading the forum about this, I may have to look at my files to check there is nothing set up wrongly. One of the results of learning as you go is that some things may have been done incorrectly and this can break the book export.
@Mammut thankyou for coming back to me. I've always got a lot on the go.
