phoerious Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Hi, Are there plans for making .afdesign files PDF-compatible or allow direct editing of PDFs? One of Illustrator's most important features has always been that you could save a PDF-compatible .ai file that you could use directly in other applications. For instance, you could save a figure as .ai and choosing the "Adobe CS2" compatibility setting, you could embed it directly into LaTeX (or other non-Creative Suite programmes for that matter). With Affinity Designer, it always involves the extra step of exporting to a PDF (with the correct compatibility settings). I also cannot open and modify a PDF directly without importing it first and then exporting it again, which discards crucial information in the process such as object groupings etc.. I would appreciate if something like this could be implemented. Also, such a feature could potentially improve Illustrator compatibility, since the same issues that I have with PDF files, I naturally have with AI files as well. Thanks!
