Publisher - Replacing letters with glyphs in PDF


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure what's happening here, but I exported a PDF into Publisher and it changed certain letter combinations ("ti, tt & ft") to glyphs. I spent the time, finding and replacing them all and recreating the pdf from an AF pub file and while the new PDF shows the correct characters, a copy/paste of the text indicates the glyphs are still there. This could pose a problem with ATS software that some Human Resources departments use to scan CVs.

Welcome to the forums MrAnansi,

These are ligatures, you can try and turn them off in the text styles panel. When you say you "... exported a PDF into Publisher..." I am assuming you meant imported. You should be able to turn off ligatures in the original document which was exported as a PDF if that is what occurred.

 

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
