  1. A couple of issues I see with this beta on PDF export. 1) Document created at 8.375" x 10.875" with .125" bleed. When exported with bleed the media box come out as 8.6267" x 11.1267" instead of the expected 8.625" x 11.125". The trim box comes out as 8.3767" x 10.8767" instead of the expected 8.375" x 10.875". It isn't a huge difference but it isn't correct. 2) The exported PDF does not have a crop and bleed box in it which it should. If you export the PDF with printer marks you do get a bleed box but still no crop box.
  2. I can create a new blank document and go into the export settings and very quickly click the drop down for the PDF setting before it bombs and change the preset PDF (Print). You have to be quick about it though. I see no reason why any preset can't be used when exporting a PDF but the X4a preset crashes everything as soon as you select it on every PDF I have tried so far. That needs to be fixed for sure.
  3. So a PDF has to be created in Publisher and flagged at output for the embedding to work when it is placed back into Publisher? How would that help with PDF's from other sources?
  4. We have 11 licenses of the full Adobe Creative Cloud that we planned to start converting to the Affinity Suite once Publisher was released. The PDF issue makes it a non-contender that won't even be considered until you can place a PDF into Publisher without having to have the fonts installed locally. There isn't one work around in this thread that would even be considered. Opening in Apple Preview and saving as a jpeg? Really? Not a chance in the world. Preview can't even display a PDF correctly if it has live transparency in it. Converting text to curves/outlines. Not in this lifetime. If you convert a PDF to an image your type is not going to ever be right even if you make the image at the output resolution of 2400 dpi. First you are going to have a huge file size. Also the text will still not look as sharp as an actual text object once converting it to an image with anti-aliasing. The folks at Affinity are losing a huge segment of the print world by releasing this product with this behavior. Unfortunately we're going to have to renew again with Adobe for another year next month when our current subscription ends. Hopefully Affinity can fix this before this time next year when our contract comes due again. Other than this one issue we really liked the Affinity apps. Just a darn shame really.
