Yes, that fixes the issue for exports - but will switching 'Hardware Acceleration' off slow down the applications though on larger 200+ page documents in Designer for example?

Trying to export after the system corrupts ends up like this:

Can someone please look into this - happens in all apps when using the latest Razer laptop with most up-to-date NVIDIA and AMD drivers. Apps are basically useless. Screen Recording 2025-06-12 113407.mp4

Raising this from the depths of Affinity - could someone post the macro again the DropBox file has been deleted

@DWrightI'll test version 2.0.3 and if they appear to exhibit the same issue that would be great - the files also seemed greatly inflated between PDFX4 in Affinity Publisher v1 and v2 too

Will do @DWright- I can send the files somewhere securely if needed? Bizarrely - I was at NTU on wednesday and could have dropped the files in to you if I had thought more about your location…

I have now come across broken PDF output on two print documents - one for a magazine publisher and the other a print company. Creating PDFX4/3 or PDF v1.7 documents in Publisher 2 - will not process through RIP's. Copying and pasting the artwork content to Publisher v1 and creating a PDF using the same presets works perfectly… It appears to be quite a serious bug in Publisher 2 - has anyone tested output with Raster Image Processors for high end print? I cannot post documents here due to copyright, but happy to send to someone at Affinity to look at if necessary…

@Daniel_Schneck try the latest Publisher Beta - has built in support for passthrough embedded fonts and works exceptionally well

Perfect, thanks @thomaso

Great shout, but I want the second text box to scale accordingly to allow for larger text areas 😃 So I need a bit of both! Would have used a two row, single column table but you cannot round corners of tables - yet…

Hi, Was hoping to be able to nest an element and lock it so that scaling the outer element wouldn't resize the nest, but unfortunately it does - is there a way to nest an element and not have it scale when scaling the parent.

PDF Passthrough works well, but there is one small bug. I have noticed that if you duplicate a PDF object the font preview render in the document goes awry - however the PDF output of the page is fine...

@GraphicDesigner that's definitely one way to do it! At least you have a working method - mine was more to do with publication adverts and placement within magazine or newspaper documents where its the whole file placed into the document. 😁

@GraphicDesigner try inkscape and use the option to convert missing fonts to curves during the import of the PDF. Works well enough for the times I have tried but cannot guarantee how it'll handle those fonts you have. But at least it's free and might get you out of a hole! https://inkscape.org/ I use the Poppler/Cairo import option to convert text to curves, then resave and use that in Designer/Publisher or Photo when necessary.
