Vex Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 My source file is a PSD with text layers. I'm using Affinity Publisher to import these PSDs into a document, which I'm then exporting to PDF. This has been working out very well for the most part, but I've discovered that some (not all) inline formatting isn't being preserved during the export to PDF. Italic text is a particular sticking point, as seen in the example below. PDF on the left, APub on the right.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2021 Seems like you're reporting a bug, Mac or Windows (so we can move your post) and please provide a sample afpub and describe any unusual export settings so we can try to replicate this Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Vex Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sure, I've attached a PSD and AFPUB with an example. Interestingly, I also just discovered that if I go to edit the PSD within APub, the italicized text becomes normal. If I open the PSD in APhoto, there is no italicized text. Yes, this is a bug.

Joachim_L Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) What about my attached PSD? And what was Pink Floyd right about? It seems to be that the Affinities do not understand Faux Italic as it was used in the original document. Using "real italic" worked, but still got some warnings. Sample master-fix.psd EDIT: If Tracking is used on the text, you'll get some warnings too.

Vex Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Ruh-roh - that makes sense, but puts me in a pickle. The files I'm working with were created by someone else, so I'm trying to avoid adding any steps to this whole project that involve me having to tediously edit the formatting of every italicized word/phrase in the text. Is this still a bug, then, or a feature request? It'd be sweet if Affinity's products could properly interpret faux formatting applied to text layers (if that's even possible; I know nothing about the PSD format). In the meantime...any thoughts on how I might mitigate this without manually editing ~700 pages? (Oh P.S. Pink Floyd was right about time.)

Vex Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Wonderful! Looking forward to the patch. I'll delay finding a different solution for my project and hopefully will be able to just use the fix.
