krebsi83 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hello! Congratulations for this great app! A feature I still miss is export to PDF/X-3 for professional printing. I have read in some blogs that the final version of Affinity Designer supports export to PDF/X-3. Well I bought the Mac App Store version, but unfortunately I can not find the export to PDF/X-3 :( When will this function be shipped? Greetings from Germany (sorry for my bad english)!

Dave Harris Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I'm sorry; those blogs are wrong. PDF/X-3 is on our roadmap, but isn't in the current version. It will be added as a free update. I can't give a date, but it'll be months rather than weeks or years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarian Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The only way I was able to successfully retreive a PDF/X-3 file from AD was to do "Print > Save as Postscript" ("Save As" button, lower left corner of the "Print" dialog box on the Mac). I had a copy of Acrobat 8 Pro installed on OS X Lion, so I distilled the resultant .PS file in Distiller 8 with the output set for "PDF/X-3". You CAN also do it for free with GhostScript through the terminal/command line interface or "CLI" but you will need to study all of the commands and the syntax necessary to pull it off. This method still requires you to output a .PS file from AD first. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
