leleusi Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi everyone, Once again I come to you for support! I have Googled my cold, dark, little heart out on this one and so far I have come up empty. I am facing an issue with my document when exported to PDF that my text is not selectable. I believe what is happening is the text is being converted to curves, though I have not instructed Publisher to do so. Additionally, my tables are selectable as a whole, but the text within is not. This is a dealbreaker for my team. I have found the options to convert to curves in the document as well as in the PDF export (Embed Fonts: Text as Curves) but I can't seem to figure out a way to explicitly tell the software NOT to do that. For the record, I am using macOS 10.15.3 and Affinity Publisher 1.8.1, and I have used both Chrome and Preview to view the exported PDF and neither are able to select the text. Attached is a single page exported from the document and one page of my otherwise massive file. Thanks to any and all for reading. cant select text test.pdf cant select text test.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leleusi Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 In case anyone else is experiencing this issue, it seems to be specific to the Mac App Store version of the software. Please see my other thread for details. Hopefully will be addressed soon. Jon P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
