I am having an issue when loading a PDF document. The document is read properly when loaded in Adobe Reader, but when processed intro Affinity the following Text errors occur-
"ti" becomes "I " (space intentional) or "Ł " or "È"
"ti" (bold intentional) becomes "Ĉ"
"tt" becomes "N"
"ft" becomes "J " (space intentional)
I may have missed some examples. Whats also interesting is that this error is not consistent, some words are corrupted, others are not, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern as to which are corrupted or not. The error becomes permanent if saved as a pdf from affinity (that is, Adobe reads the text error and not the intended text after Affinity creates a new PDF save file), however, simply closing the document without saving and opening it in Reader shows no error.
This issue has appeared on versions of Affinity both 1 year old and current. I have searched and not found anyone else discussing this issue.
I am using Win10 64bit, and when loading into affinity I select "Load All Pages" Estimate/Estimate, and "Group lines of text into text frame."
Affinity claims all fonts used by the document are available, in the options dialog box.
I am really not sure what to do, but as you can imagine, with over 100 pages of text, the rate of typos is far too much to simply address each time I have to reload a PDF file into Affinity.
Edit- I am using only Affinity Publisher, and also I have tried checking "Favor Editable Text over Fidelity" (It didn't help).
