Ormhaugen Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Hello I have created a book (108 pages) in AfPublisher (1.7.3.481). That's pretty much gone well. But when I now am about sending the book to the print shop, typeface errors appear on some pages. Option 1: I choose File -> Export -> PDF (for print). Attached file '79 low 'shows the problem. The typeface is thin, almost unreadable. Option 2: Attached file '79 best 'has been executed with File -> Print -> Adobe PDF and it is correct. I prefer Alt.1 because Alt.2 has a tendency to distort the colors in some of the images. Has anyone encountered similar problems when exporting? Geir Quote
Joachim_L Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Could you post the .afpub file or at least the page shown here? Why do you need to print to PDF? Export should work better.

Joachim_L Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Yes, you are right. So I am curious about the .afpub file and the PDF of both alternatives. Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed
Ormhaugen Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 I have attached the afpub file and 2 PDF versions of page 79, where '79 Export' is produced with File-->Export-->PDF (for print) and show error in the typeface (very thin, almost unreadable). '79 Print' is made with File-->Print-->Adobe PDF . This shows correct typeface. If you take time to see the apub file you'll see similar errors on pages 23, 53, 59, 67 (caption) - and the text on the pages 72-73, 78-79 The font used in the captions is Times New Roma italic, the font in body text is Adobe Garamond Pro. I'm on Win 10. I'd be very glad if you would be looking into this. Geir Grindabygg_24x24_ENDELEG_ExportPrint.pdf 79 Print.pdf 79_Export.pdf Quote
Ormhaugen Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Sorry, wrong file Here is the afpub file Geir Grindabygg_24x24_ENDELEG_ver7.afpub Quote
Fixx Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 You have adjustment layers above text layers which rasterizes text when output to PDF. See if fixing that corrects the problem. Quote
Ormhaugen Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Ahh, that's it. You found the culprit. Another lesson to learn. Thank you so much! Geir Fixx 1 Quote
