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.

Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?

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?

Nice one. Thanks Walt.

What is the explanation for this? Is it not just a character style?

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.

@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’.

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

Yes, I had used the public version, but the problem still exists in the beta.

File sent.
