How to Edit and Customize a PDF Template in Affinity Publisher

October 28, 2019 By Rachel Harrison-Sund

Welcome back to my Low-Content Publishing Design Tutorial Series!

In case you’ve missed my other Affinity Publisher tutorials, this program is a professional level desktop publishing software ideal for creating your LC book cover and interior files. In fact, Affinity Publisher has most of the features you’d get by purchasing InDesign—the desktop publishing industry standard—at a fraction of the cost.

But Affinity Publisher won’t just help you create professional-looking interior files; it will also help you edit PDF templates that you purchase elsewhere, and are now looking to customize.

Customizing purchased templates is something you’ll definitely want to do in order to:

  • Differentiate yourself from others using the same templates
  • Target specific sub-niches, either by adding components like text or images to the template that might resonate with a particular audience, or by customizing fonts or other design elements to create a different look and feel that resonates with a particular audience

Let’s fire up Affinity Publisher so I can show you how to make changes to your PDF templates, as well as how to overcome a few of the challenges you might face when doing so.

      Hi Louise! You can’t edit a PP in Affinity, but you can export it as a PDF and then edit that PDF in Affinity.
