PDF Export shows Error

[BCN]

Hi,

1- I can’t export from the 3 PDF/X formats. It keeps giving me an error message but doesn’t tell me what the error is. ‘PDF (for print)’ works but the site I’m sending it to required PDF/X-1a:2001. That isn’t in the list at all in Affinity Publisher. What’s the difference between ‘PDF (for print) a PDF/X version? The description in Help seems to be the same.

 

2- If my photographs look right on the screen and I can adjust the setting to print from both Affinity and as a PDF from Adobe, can I be assured the PDF file that I send to the printer will also print correctly?

 

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks again,

Barbara

Hi @BCN Would you be able to PM me a link to your .afpub file so I can take a look to see if the error can be found.

Hi Lee,

I don’t know how to PM but I have made progress. My file didn’t like the fonts, strange since they are well known. Gill Sans and Global.

But I changed them on a single page and all of the PDF/Xs worked.

But PDF/X-1a:2001 is not in the list. Are the others PDF/Xs updates of that one? PDF/X-1a:2001was requested of me.

Thanks

Barbara
