PDF export messes up "https" info in URL using Affinity Publisher


Recommended Posts

Using AFPUB 1.8.3 for the Mac.

I included a URL as part of a flyer that I created (see attached image), then exported it as a PDF. When I copy & paste the URL from the PDF into a web browser, it changes the "tt" of the "https" into a question mark icon (see below).

Thoughts on what's causing this and how to fix?

At a guess, the "tt" element of "https" has been typed as a ligature rather than two separate characters, and the web browser doesn't know how to display ligatures. 

Try this: in the Character panel, expose Typography and turn off Standard Ligatures (the 'fl' button):

Beautiful. I'll give that a shot.

Okay...that worked. I selected the "https" before going into the typography page to deselect ligatures for it to work.
