Affectus Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Is it possible to open a pdf in Affinity Designer using the subset fonts in the pdf, so it displays accurately? Designer asks to substitute fonts from your library, which I don't aways have, rather than using the embedded subset fonts. Publisher has the passthrough option; is anything similar available for Designer? Or does anyone know of a work round? I'm occasionally asked to revise an ad I've received as a pdf and without the fonts used, it is often impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. None of the Affinity applications make use of the fonts embedded in a PDF. For accuracy, you must have the fonts installed on your system.

For displaying, yes, but you said you need to edit. That can't be done using Passthrough mode.
