How to export without outlining/flattening text


Recommended Posts

This is my one deal breaker. I work in a large company that mainly uses Adobe Suite CC, which is unfortunate if I wanted to adopt Affinity Designer because I cannot share the EPS/PSD files I export from AD because the Dynamic text becomes outlined/flattened. I can however open Adobe files in AD and edit the text, with some quirks(a format issue for another topic). 

 

How can I preserve the edibility of my text so that third party users, such as clients or printers, can open and edit the original text using their software of choice? Whether that is Adobe or god forbid, Quark.

 

*Note: I have found out that exporting as a SVG from AD and opening it in Illustrator CC retains the dynamic text, but breaks the text box into smaller art text pieces.

 

Thank you,

Hi smylski,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

According to the developers, the import/export features of Affinity Designer are still being worked and will be continually improved over time.

Some file formats are still missing some properties/features and may not work as expected, as you just discovered.

With time all those details should be fixed.

Big improvements are being made to PSD export. Text export is quite involved though. Just bear with us.
