M4Design Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Opened a PDF file (<</CreatorInfo<</Creator(Adobe Illustrator 26.1)/Subtype/Artwork>>>>) from a customer in Illustrator 26.1, there were a couple EPS files NOT embedded! Time to break out my "secret weapon", Affinity Designer (1.10.5). Opened the file and everything was there, no problems. Exported as a PDF to reopen in Illustrator and some of the text (Calibre Black) in the not embedded EPS was scrambled. Original read "150", file opened in Illustrator and Acrobat Pro DC and it reads "/3."??? Opened the saved PDF back into Designer and it still read as "/3.", so It wasn't Illustrator mis-reading it. The switch was in the exported from Designer file. Naturally, no one noticed until AFTER a large print run... ;-( Original Customer File "SEclipse 2024-glasses-PROOF3.pdf" Designer output PDF "SEclipse 2024-glasses-PROOF3-TEST.pdf" The error is in the logo on the far right of the glasses...

kenmcd Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The font encoding is changing. And Affinity apps do not deal well with sub-setted fonts. So I exported it with "Subset fonts" unchecked. That setting is in the More... part of the Export to PDF dialog. Seems to have worked. SEclipse 2024-glasses-PROOF3-No-Subset.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4Design Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 Thanks for the tip! I did 'Layer/Convert to Curves" instead this time... kenmcd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
