netera Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Im not sure where the original text was complied. It might have be possible to put it together in word, but I know a lot of the indic guys use Linux and other software, so its possible the originator did it on another system/software. This is a book to be printed on Kindle Direct. I usually export to PDF and upload etc. Is there a way to export to PDF file (making sure the right version of the text is saved) that could then be uploaded to Kindle? That would save so much time. I really don't want to a add static graphics to every page, that would be such a pain. I have Phantom Foxit software, but still need to get it from a .afpub to PDF. Thanks so much for your efforts! Really helpful. A 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See above. That is what I just described. And I just tested the Foxit PDF Editor Printer and it works too.

netera Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi and thanks for swift reply. This is interesting. So it seems to work when it’s an isolated text box, however when I export the whole book it does not seem to work. I include 2x jpegs below which show the results on the actual book. I also attach 1x Pub file and the resultant PDF after print to export. Any more thoughts as to what is happening will be gratefully received. This book is turning into a total nightmare :-).

netera Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 I've tried this a number of times now and its still not doing what you thought it should do. If you do an isolated text box it converts into the correct text, if its on a page with other text boxes it remains the same. Sorry, I know this is a pain, but if its possible to resolve it will same me a ton of work. A 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmcd Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Affinity apps currently do not support Indic script/languages. So until they do, there will be no fix. That it works when printed is an unexplained quirk discovered by another user. That is the only known work-around at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netera Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 OK, thank you. Yes, odd that it works the other way, if its a text box in isolation. Oh well, hopefully this is something that will get pick up in the future. Thank you for response. A. kenmcd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
