Thank you so much!! I will do that.

Thanks for thinking of all that could be going on right now! Yes, I get most of my fonts from Google Fonts. And actually had an issue with Roboto today that I just downloaded (same exact issue but it happened on Affinity Designer - not Publisher). When I look up Josefin Sans in my fonts - the title of it says JosefinSans-VariableFonts-wght.ttf. Is there anything else I should be looking at? I'm not quite sure how I would go about solving this. I'm using a Mac if that's helpful. I truly appreciate your help!

Thanks LibreTraining. No, I created this document from scratch using Affinity Publisher. On my end, the text does have a Font Style. I checked everywhere and it shows a font style for each piece of text. I've attached a screenshot.

Thanks LibreTraining. Here's one example of a document that loses the font style. In this example, I'm using Josefin Sans Bold and it gets exported as Thin. I've attached both the Affinity file and the PDF. It happens with other fonts as well - today was Roboto that changed after export. I'd be grateful if you can let me know anything I can do here to help solve this! Thanks so much. Checklist PDF.afpub Checklist PDF.pdf

Hangman, thank you for your reply. Yes I have Subset fonts checked. I've attached the exact Export settings I'm using in case that's helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm really struggling with exporting my designs as PDFs and maintaining the style of the text. If I select Text as Curves, I lose the ability to select and copy the text, which I need in my PDFs. If I don't select Text as Curves, the font styles change and the design looks different. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Walt for your reply and your help. I was thinking that might be the problem and you're right, I just exported with All Fonts selected instead of Text as Curves and am able to now select and copy the text from the PDF. The issue is now how to get the font to "stay" as it looks on Affinity. I've attached an affinity file and then how it looks when I export it without selecting "Text as Curves." I just used the default export settings for PDF - Digital (high quality). If you are someone here would be able to take a look, I'd be most grateful. Thank you!

Hi everyone, How can I export my PDF so that anyone can select or copy the text from a PDF made with Affinity? Right now, no text can be selected. The text is not rasterized. I read on here that it was an issue with Macs but I checked on my phone and can confirm, the text is not selectable. I have selected Text as Curves during the Export because otherwise the PDF loses all the styling. Thanks!
