Sorry for the delay in getting back to all of you. Holidays and all, it took some time to go through and clean up my fonts, but everything is outputting correctly now. Thanks so much for your help and suggestions! Peter

I'm using Publisher on a Macbook Pro under Sonoma. Thank you all for your suggestions. I will look into the font issue today. I didn't think that was the problem because when I checked the Font Manager, nothing appeared awry. But, I do see the two different spellings of Gill Sans.

I tried that, but I'm, getting the same incorrect results.

Hello Walt: I've attached the output settings. Here is the Affinity file link. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/68bqqblxehhma89lat8jp/2022-Hyperflite-Brochure.afpub?rlkey=0ee5u7zor6e219mkbl6kdlybo&dl=0 Thanks, Peter

This is a screenshot of the pdf.

Hello: I have output from Publisher to pdf and selected to include fonts for print and for digital (one hires and one low res). Each result is incorrect, but different. Some fonts are changing to different characters. When I output to hires or low res jpg, all the characters appear correctly. TIA I have highlighted one area that has changed. 2023 Hyperflite Brochure (small size).pdf

That's how my permissions look. I'm certain my problem is not a permission issue, it seems to be some sort of startup conflict. But, you led me in the correct direction, so thanks much for your help!

@Old Bruce Ok, I tried starting up in safe mode, but Designer didn't display my document when I did that. I guess Designer needs something running that doesn't run in safe mode. The app launched, and the layers pallet showed my items, but no document was visible. So, I created a new user account and I was able to export the file successfully. That leads me to think that something I'm running is causing a conflict with Affinity's apps. I'll continue to work on that, but thanks for leading me in that direction. 🙂

@Old Bruce Thank you for your reply. I've tried to export the document to my desktop and an external drive with the same result. But, if it works for you, it got me thinking...I'm going to try restarting in Safe Mode and see if I get the same issue. Thanks

I love all my Affinity apps (Photo, Designer, Publisher), but I'm getting increasingly frustrated by an issue that keeps happening and I'm hoping that someone can finally solve it for me. I'm running on a MacBook Pro with lots of memory and storage and using the latest MacOS. The issue happens often, but not all the time when I'm trying to save or export a file. I get the following error message: "An error occurred while exporting to:...Permission was denied." In some cases, if I quit and reopen the app, I can save or export without an issue, but not always. Right now, I'm in the middle of trying to export Designer files to pdfs and can't get past this error. I don't believe it's a font issue because I'm converting everything to curves before I'm trying to export. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have attached screen shots along with one of the files that I'm having issues with. TIA DiscDogathon 1st Place.afdesign

Hello: If Affinity Designer does the following now, please let me know how. Was surprised and disappointed that I couldn't get it to work. 🙂 I would love to see the ability to import editable text on a path from a pdf or AI file. When I've tried it, I was only able to edit individual letters, not full lines. Thanks, Peter

Hello Walt: Ok, will do. Thanks, Peter

Thanks for your reply. That must be the answer, that AD just doesn't support this feature. That's too bad, because it would be nice if it did. Consider this a feature request. 🙂 Peter

Hello: I'm using the Mac desktop version of Affinity Designer on a Mac. I keep trying to import documents into Affinity Designer while maintaining editable text paths. The original documents have been created in AI and saved with the text fully editable. On import, I've tried all the various import options with the same results. The formats I've tried have been eps, pdf, and ai. A line of text imports correctly. But, text on paths imports as individual characters. Is there a way to import text on a path so it's fully editable? TIA

No, sorry, I meant as in the Subtract, Add, Intersect, Xor, and Divide options.
