samxr Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've been importing PDFs and editing them with Publisher and have not come across this. But one multipage form imports jumbled text - or text that doesn't flow right or land where it is supposed to. It works fine in Adobe Reader DC, but Affinity Publisher flows the text all wrong. Is this a known issue? can it be fixed? It means I cannot use publisher to edit these PDFs. Another weird thing - it seems that Publisher renumbers/relabels sublists. You can see in these screenshots the original has "a) b) c)" and Publisher opens it as "i) ii) iii)" - can you please fix this? Here's a link to the PDF in question: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/housing-and-tenancy/residential-tenancies/forms/rtb1_chrome.pdf thanks for your help!

Catshill Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Pdf import is unreliable in current versions in my experience. Hopefully it will be sorted in version 1.9 when it is released. It’s currently in beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted February 3, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 3, 2021 For the text flow issue that you are having please enable the Favour editable text over fidelity, as for the bullet points changing I have raised this with our QA team In the latest 1.9 beta build turn this option off and the PDF opens correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
