AntoniaB Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hi, I have a problem with imported pdf's when I want to export the file. I have created pdfs in Canva (US letter size) & have imported them into Affinity Publisher for the content on my planner pages using a frame for each. When I go to export the document to pdf, I am being told that the pdf version I have imported is not compatible & will be rasterised (please see screenshot below). I haven't come across this problem before & am not sure how to rectify it - Can anyone help me solve this situation? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This warning is issued due to your settings in the Preflight Profile you are using. In this profile there is a check for PDF Passthrough compatibilty. I believe that the calculation there is not correct. If I place a PDF-1.4 and preflight checks for PDF/X-1a:2003 you'll get this warning, although the exported file with PDF/X-1a:2003 uses PDF-1.4. Option A: Change the compatibility in your preflight profile or switch the check off. Option B: Ignore the warning and carefully check the output. Question for the PDF professionals here: Isn't PDF-1.4 upward compatible, as it is the lowest version we can export?
