ianhg Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi I am very new to the app and publishing. Can anyone explain when I export from Publisher to pdf everything looks OK. But if I open the new PDF doc in Affinity Publisher some letters/words are garbage. PDF opened in Affinity looks like this: ' Christmas BriĜany Break This is a good opportunity for a relaxing break aĢer all the Christmas shopping has been done and before the arduous Christmas fesHviHes begin. It’s also a chance to stock up with some keenly priced French goodies, wines, cheeses, etc and enjoy a typical French dinner before deparHng. We are oĢen asked why we follow the same programme each year. It’s simple - it works! ' In Affinity Publisher original doc and exported PDF looks like this: ' Christmas Brittany Break This is a good opportunity for a relaxing break after all the Christmas shopping has been done and before the arduous Christmas festivities begin. It’s also a chance to stock up with some keenly priced French goodies, wines, cheeses, etc and enjoy a typical French dinner before departing. We are often asked why we follow the same programme each year. It’s simple - it works! ' Font used in Affinity Publisher Calibri -- So it seems to export OK just an issue if I open the expected doc in Affinity Publisher.

Old Bruce Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am guessing that there is a ligature for the tt in Brittany and one for ft in after. This is put into the PDF and then misinterpreted when the PDF is imported. Have you tried the Editable Text checkbox on and off.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply I tried various options but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 You might also try, when exporting the PDF, disabling the setting that embeds only a subset of the fonts: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.
