Help! Vector/pdf

[brenagirl2]

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

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.

You can also try to export to PDF from Procreate, and import those pages in APub to create your book.
