I have had this problem too.It only occurs with Afinity products. All of the "Real Adobe" sofware reads PDF files correctly.

After Walts explanation I did as he said and yes I now have exactly the same preset but with the option to preview the PDF after saving. I do course have to select this and it only applies to my working environment. Personally I think ticking the prevue box in the provided preset should do no more than that. Just let me have a preview afterwards. Why the extra steps are necessary seems to me to lazy programming and not at all necessary as it doesn't change what I am saving or how I am saving it. Also without Walts explaination I would be none the wiser that this was a nessesary step.

Oh sooo...OK many thanks.

When exporting as PDF and selecting Press Ready the pre-set selection box shows Press Ready. If the preview export when complete box is ticked, the selection box becomes blank. The PDF can be exported successfully and it does preview, but it still a bit disconcerting. See attched screen grab.
