cga-archi Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Hello everyone, I have a problem with a PDF exported from Publisher. When I want to copy and paste a text from a PDF from Publisher, and insert it into another native Publisher file, the text puts the paragraph bookmark after each line end that the software intersects, as if it was the end of a paragraph. This does not happen with a PDF exported from Ado** InD*****... Is it because of an export parameter? Is it a common setting of the software? Thanks Benoit Sans titre.afpub Sans titre.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Petrenko Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It is all about how Affinity team created (PDF) import/export filters based on that how deep they analized the file structure so far. cga-archi 1 Quote All the latest releases of Designer, Photo and Publisher (retail and beta) on MacOS and Windows. 15” Dell Inspiron 7559 i7 ● Windows 10 x64 Pro ● Intel Core i7-6700HQ (3.50 GHz, 6M) ● 16 GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600 MHz (8GBx2) ● NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB GDDR5 ● 500 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD ● UHD (3840 x 2160) Truelife LED - Backlit Touch Display 32” LG 32UN650-W display ● 3840 x 2160 UHD, IPS, HDR10 ● Color Gamut: DCI-P3 95%, Color Calibrated ● 2 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort 13.3” MacBook Pro (2017) ● Ventura 13.6 ● Intel Core i7 (3.50 GHz Dual Core) ● 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 ● Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB ● 500 GB SSD ● Retina Display (3360 x 2100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Affinity is correctly creating the PDF but gives you a choice how to open it. Select the "Favour editable text over fidelity" checkbox when opening the PDF and you will have paragraph marks only at the end of the paragraphs. cga-archi 1 Quote Download a free manual for Publisher 2.4 from this forum - expanded 300-page PDF My system: Affinity 2.4.2 for macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may influence how the Copy part of the operation is working. Also, it would probably be a better workflow to save the original .afpub file, and work from that rather than working from a PDF of the original. Working from the original will preserve much more information for your future use. cga-archi 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right I'm going to favor the original format, but I'm trying to consider the different situations we might encounter when exchanging pdfs with other people/other software. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
