Aledelp Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 When placing a CAD exported pdf like the one attached, the point pattern is incomplete in Designer / Publisher. Also the line patterns are needless divided. I´ve got no problems with the same file in InDesign / Illustrator. Is there a internal size-limit for vector based pdfs? Is there a way to get around this, unfortunately placing them as picture file (jpeg, tiff, ...) is no option. pattern_problem.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Affinity can only open and use the PDF portion of an Adobe file, the rest is proprietary adobe which Affinity cannot use. Are you wanting to edit this file in Affinity? I've just opened this file in Illustrator, the patterns have the same behaviour, being grouped into lines of dashes just like Affinity so the pattern problem is inherent in the PDF and not an issue with Affinity. Which CAD app did this come from? Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Aledelp Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Editing is not necessary, this can be done in CAD. But i need the complete file for composing architectural presentation plans. CAD is "ALLPLAN 2019" Edited October 30, 2019 by Aledelp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aledelp Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 The Lines are not the main problem, but i'm missing thousands of dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aledelp Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Unfortunately bitmaps are no option, cause i´m loosing the sharpness of the lines, as well as my files send to the plotter will be huuuuge (A0 with floor plans, sections, views, renderings....) using highres bitmaps. So, sadly it seems i have to stay with Adobe for that purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
