yabeweb Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I currently have a design done completely on Publisher, but the typography uses Indesign, and apparently they cannot import the PDF or they see it without image link (what they say) is there a way to export from Publisher to InDesign or a way to be sure they are getting the whole thing? I do not have InDesign. Thanks Quote
v_kyr Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 That's somehow very vaguely described, who says that, for what sort of design and it's overall doc size? - I just realized that it has probably to do with PDF exchange and linked images between the apps here. - But what type of PDF format did you used? - Further, if the resulting file size isn't to huge then, did you also tried to embed the images instead of linking them into Publisher for the PDF exchange generation? yabeweb 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Well it's as good as I am able to describe it, exported PDF for print, the doc size is big for a 4 page design , what is the best way to export for indesign? Thanks Quote
v_kyr Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 As indicated maybe to embed the images inside the PDF then. Or retry with some other PDF export settings and afterwards check the PDF file first with some third party tools (Adobe Acrobat etc.) for the contents, links etc. before sending them out. If then still everything's falling apart, you can try something like this here ...

yabeweb Posted January 7, 2020 Author Posted January 7, 2020 Well I do not see the embed images, how would I go doing this, I go export and use for print. I know I am a noob so don't worry going into explaining simple stuff ;) Thanks to all for answering Quote

I have a brochure that I am sending to print, it has text and images,, apparently, they do not see either, and on another file, they see it as low-quality image The thing is, I export it as PDF and see it quite well, and they also want it to be editable (the text I mean). I am a bit lost myself, as it is the first time i have this kind of issue, an Indesign export would help a lot like .idml or .indd Quote
MikeW Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I would choose a different print establishment. There should be no reason to alter a pdf. If there is something wrong then the designer should fix it and send a new pdf. That said, if choosing a different print establishment is not possible then you should be using, in this case, ID. yabeweb 1 Quote

This is what the bog standard Print preset for PDF export looks like when you hit the More button. Is it similar to yours? yabeweb 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.
