Who knew? All of these decades later & it was just a "suggestion" and not a "standard."

What's a "schedule?" :unsure:

🤦‍♂️

Odd, I'm trying as well (I converted all fonts to Outlines first in Pitstop) but you're right - it insists on importing the page(s) as Layout files instead of raster. Even when starting the Pixel workspace. There are a few standalone Affinity forums I'll go poking around. (Their official forum...

All of these "Collaborative Web Based Design" tools seem to be based on the same underlying engine to render PDFs at the final stage.
