If it were only on your local hard drive then you wouldn’t be able to share it from Google Drive, so it must also be available via a link to your cloud storage.

The file doesn't exist on line, it's only on my hard disk so I can't show it as a URL, I can only share it with an email address, if you can show me how to include it on this site I'll do it, I have no preference at all. I don't have any interest in keeping it private, it is just the only way I know of sending such a large file. None of these PDFs I have included can be accessed on line now.
best wishes

You wouldn’t be sending it as an email attachment here, of course, you would be sending it as a forum attachment. I’m sorry to say that I can’t find a setting to increase the (apparently rather small) attachment limit, and I’m quite surprised that — as far as I can see — there isn’t an indication anywhere of what the limit actually is.

Do you have a particular reason for preferring to share the link privately, rather than simply posting it here?

Well the PDF is 4 meg in size, too big to send as an email attachment but if you send me an email I can share it to you from Google drive.

Is it too big to attach to this thread, John?

Hi fellow Serif Legacy Lovers
I’m in the process of Producing a paperback book which will include the following help PDFs for PagePlus (mainly X9), which once were readily available on line to download.
If there is anyone who is interested in this project let me know by email to millrind (at) btinternet.com and I’ll include you in an email list. This way I’ll be able to keep you in touch as to the progress I’m making.
I have put it together in PagePlus X9 and I’ve printed out two copies worth of pages. I shall bind them together as Perfect bound paperbacks. Then I shall see how much it will cost me per copy from a print-on-demand firm.
If it’s a feasible thing I can supply them at cost postal costs to anyone interested. I’ll see how I go with it.
Here’s the list.
John

I am told by EduGeek that Serif used to send codes to fix this but they no longer do this sorting out, so it doesn't look good.

MoviePlus V6 Problems
I am having a lot of bother with MTS files, I have loads of them from videos I shot on my SONY video camera 1n the1990s.
Every time I load them into MoviePlus I am told that they are locked and I need to contact someone at Serif to unlock them before they can be accepted for editing into the program. And we all know how useless that is.
Can any wise person help me out in this please?
John

I recently revisited reposted to an old topic, the last entry was in 2019.

Patrick Connor replied, I think his answer demonstrated that loyalty to past customers was not a prime concern of the new Affinity setup.

Long, long before! PPX9 is version 19; BookPlus was added for PP10, released well over a decade ago.

Affinity Publisher 2 does have - finally - the 'book' facility, which PagePlusX9 (and possibly before) had. If I had not had InDesign CS6, I would have used PP as, as you rightly say, AP it is best for leaflets and flyers et-al. I think it has quite some catch up to do before it becomes an InDesign replacement contender.
I have to say that in many ways, DrawPlus too is superior to AD, and I have some early software by Aldus - Freehand that still runs on Win 10, it too has facilities that AD does not, such as blend, a circle to a square for example.
I sometimes feel that the Affinity range took a retrograde step with the Affinity Suite.
Many moons ago, I worked for British Rail (NSC) and used Serif PP2 to design the emergency timetables (amongst many other things) when the guards went on strike in the early 90's, it was free on the disk from a computer mag. Happy days.
