Annemiek Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hello, I started today working with Publisher. My main work is publishing music. I make a pdf from LogicPro or MuseScore and import that in InDesign. When I import these pdf's in Publisher, it does not show the music but just a corrupt image of it. How can I fix this? thank you Annemiek van de Geijn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums @Annemiek! I guess that APublisher fails to interpret the PDF. In the next 1.9x version APublisher is able to passthrough a PDF. Maybe you can upload a sample PDF here to verify this?

Joachim_L Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The placed PDFs look far better (see attached image) in beta 1.9x than in retail version 1.8x. One of the reasons could be missing fonts. You can install the beta version along with your retail version for testing purposes. But be warned: Documents saved in 1.9 won't open in 1.8.

I hope it takes longer than that I would like to see some additional functions added or some of the new functions improved further; and There are still a significant number of new functions in the Mac version of the 1.9 beta that have not yet appeared in the Windows version. Once they make it into Windows, we need enough time to test them and clean up any further bugs before the retail 1.9 version is released.

Annemiek Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 as a total new user, coming from InDesign, is it better to start working in 1.8, or in Beta1,9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The working routines are nearly the same except for some new things introduced with 1.9. Speaking for myself: Data merge came exactly at the right moment, so I dared to use the beta for a small production job (although not recommended by Serif). If you earn money using APublisher on a daily basis, better stay with 1.8 and look for (safe) workarounds. If you are a daredevil use the betas (they are pretty stable, mostly, again my personal opinion).

The Beta files are not guaranteed to open in the next version. This is because a beta version may introduce a really bad bug that corrupts documents.

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