scottk24 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hi all, I am trying to export a PDF I made in Affinity Photo - however, when I do so, the text from the document doesn't recognize (i.e. cannot be highlighted). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or a workaround? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hard to say without the file. Normally the text should export selectable in a PDF viewer unless there is an effect / adjustment attached to the text layer. Could you upload here the .afphoto file in question?

Fixx Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Header&footer-group creates an object that prevents selecting text through it. Move the footer out and lower in the stack, under the text items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I found that the text is selectable if you set the rasterize in the export dialog's More section to Nothing.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottk24 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 The header and footer thing was the issue. Thank you so much Fixx and Old Bruce!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
