AntoniaB Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hi, hope someone can help! Is it possible for me on a Mac to share an Affinity Publisher file with someone on a PC? At the moment the clip art images are all blurred & the pdf's imported into frames have text mixed up, so it seems that anything that is brought into the file is distorted in some way. Really hope someone can help with this, many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the.afpub for was opened there should have been a warning popup about that, or the Resource Manager should show the resource status as Missing. 33 minutes ago, AntoniaB said: the pdf's imported into frames have text mixed up That sounds like the sevens machine does not have all the necessary fonts installed. Using Passthrough mode may help.

AntoniaB Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Walt, thanks so much for this - really helpful! Could you let me know, how is it possible then for the other person on the PC to make sure the linked images are available to her - is there anything she should do in particular? Sorry if this is a silly question - I'm a bit of a newbie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 You can try having the originator excited the Publisher file as a Package. That's probably the best way.
