benwiggy Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It's been well-observed that the Affinity Suite 'doesn't support' the import of PDFs with embedded fonts, and attempting to do so causes a variety of issues. However, Designer imports EPS and PostScript files with embedded fonts perfectly accurately, because it outlines all the embedded font data. It would solve a great many problems if Designer offered the option to outline the embedded font data, as for EPS files, in the PDF import dialog. I'm presuming that this would be a 'relatively easy fix', as Designer can already outline EPS at import, (and it can outline font data in PDFs when exporting).

benwiggy Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Any new of this? The inability to import PDFs for vector editing is still a massive obstacle to the use of Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
