brenagirl2 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I wrote and illustrated a children’s book. Here is my issue…I am not tech savvy at all. Im trying to self publish and have been communicating with a printing company. I started illustrating with procreate and put my my pages into affinity publishing with the correct dpi, and bleed requirements. I sent it in pdf form. But they need it in vector so I resent it svg form. But it saved it by individual pages, so 22 separate files. They then requested I send the vector via pdf??? Im so confused. They need it in vector form to manipulate the text, but want it in one file. I am lost here, any help is greatly appreciated! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hi and welcome to the forums @brenagirl2, Which OS are you using? Mac desktop, Windows or Mac iPad? I guess you are putting the Procreate images into the Publisher document. What format are the illustrations? PNG JPEG SVG PDF? It is quite a while since I used that so I am unfamiliar with its export formats. Text as entered by the keyboard (in Publisher) is a form of vector, text as written by a brush in Procreate is not text from the computer's point of view. The PDF file should be fine for preserving the text as vector and the art as pixels. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 You can also try to export to PDF from Procreate, and import those pages in APub to create your book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
