Larry Fjeldstrom Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I have to modify a PDF where I can reorganize sections of a music PDF. The music comes through just fine, as well as most of the text. However the vocal lines have the weirdest letter spacing I have seen. Publisher imports text with tabs in the middle of the lyrics. The lyrics are in Times New Roman, so its not a case of me not having the right font on my computer. InDesign and Acrobat Pro can open it just fine, as well as several other files. I certainly am puzzled by this behaviour. I'm pulling the plug on Adobe the middle of January, and would really like to sort this out. I don't modify music very often at all, but this gives me pause with Affinity's relationship with PDFs.

Publisher attempts to interpret the PDF stream if you open a PDF document and converts it to an Affinity document as good as it can. 5 hours ago, Larry Fjeldstrom said: InDesign … just places the PDF as is. Same as if you would place (not open) a PDF in Publisher. InDesign cannot directly edit PDFs, unless you use an overpriced 3rd party plugin. 5 hours ago, Larry Fjeldstrom said: Acrobat Pro can open it just fine Yep, Acrobat Pro is your correct tool to edit PDF natively.
