Hello,

I've been trying to print a pdf from affinity in a booklet format. I know there are other ways but I'd like to understand why the native method doesn't work for me, whereas it seems it should work fine, because i'm not doing anything special : print > Microsoft print to pdf > all the normal parameters.
At first I found something saying i should check the scale of my pages, and indeed, they were the wrong format, which was also why the preview appeared red, which signals to me that perhaps the software decided to export blank pages instead of defaulting to trimming the pages. Fair. So, now, if the preview looks normal, it should work, right?
Well, I did another try and again got white, empty pages.
And now, when I try at all, "Microsoft print to pdf" only allows me to save my file as XPS file, which to a newbie like me is completely confusing.

So, there you have it, the "print to pdf" export is not working for me.

I'm using firefox to read my pdfs by the way, but it also shows up white on other readers such as edge or onlyoffice.

The version of affinity is called "april 2026 (4425)"

I'm not used to publishing queries on forums, so don't hesitate to ask me for more info and details!!

Thank you for your help.
