Pyanepsion Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Hello everyone. The PDF file created by Publisher does not handle small caps correctly. They look fine on the PDF, but if you convert the PDF file into a Word file, or re-import the PDF file into Affinity Publisher, all the small caps turn to rubbish. Note that capital letters (A of Article, D of Détermination, D of Description, C of Changement) in small capitals have a correct appearance.

walt.farrell Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 First, make sure that you click More... in the Export dialog and turn off the option to Subset the fonts. Does that resolve the problem with re-importing the PDF into Affinity?

Pyanepsion Posted August 3, 2021 Author Posted August 3, 2021 Nice one. Thanks Walt. What is the explanation for this? Is it not just a character style?

kenmcd Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 6 hours ago, Pyanepsion said: What is the explanation for this? When sub-setting is On the PDFlib does not properly create the ToUnicode table in the the PDF (it is all zeros IIRC). The ToUnicode table is how the characters/glyphs are connected to their Unicode code points in the PDF. When sub-setting is Off the PDFlib does properly create the ToUnicode table so it works correctly. I have looked at PDFs created by other apps which do properly create the ToUnicode table with sub-setting On. So it is possible, and appears to be a bug in PDFlib/APub. Pyanepsion and Wosven 2 Quote
Staff Pauls Posted August 4, 2021 Staff Posted August 4, 2021 @Pyanepsionwhat font were you using? Quote
Pyanepsion Posted August 4, 2021 Author Posted August 4, 2021 @Pauls In fact all fonts. In this case, the font is the original Windows font ARIAL.TTF, which has a size 14 for the yellow headings and a size 12 for the black subheading. The PDF export crashes when using the Small Capital style and not unchecking ‘Embed fonts/Subset fonts’.

Staff Pauls Posted August 4, 2021 Staff Posted August 4, 2021 Thanks - the subsetting issue still occurs in the latest beta unfortunately. Could you upload the crashing file here we should at least attempt to prevent that Quote
Pyanepsion Posted August 4, 2021 Author Posted August 4, 2021 Yes, I had used the public version, but the problem still exists in the beta. File sent.
