Hi Sean, Some are from the System, others no. My test file have 3 lines : — the first one is an System OpenType font : Charis SIL ; — the second one is a System PostScript font : Alegreya ; — the last one is a math formula in CMR fonts. The second line is composed with private TeX Alegreya font. 1/ The pdf is correctly displayed by Apple Preview and Acrobat Pro even when these fonts are not installed in the System. 2/ Illustrator CS6 + El Capitan (OS X 10.11.6 without these three fonts) does not recognize Charis, vectorize correctly Allegreya et does not recognize CMR fonts (see above). Why this difference of behavior between Affinity and Apple Preview + Acrobat ? If necessary, I can send you the pdf file (32 Ko).

OS X Catalina 10.15.4 Affinity Designer 1.8.3 does not recognize pdf document produced by TeX. The pdf is correctly displayed by Apple Aperçu (I dont know the english name) and Adobe Acrobat Reader but Affinity complains that the fonts are missing.

MEB, I tried pdf files 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 ,1.7 with success (with test photos). How can I send you the problematic file (19.7 Mo)?

I must convert to grayscale a colored file photo.pdf. I use: File > Document setup > Color tab choose either Gray/8 or Gray/16 photo.pdf is saved as photo-GRAY.afdesign. The file photo-GRAY.afdesign is a gray photo. But when I export photo-GRAY.afdesign in pdf format, I get a COLORED photo!!! Is something missing?
