LindaYVR Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I am using the Affinity Publisher 2.0.4 on a MacBook pro OS 12.6.3. When I export a doc to a PDF, then try to copy text from the PDF it looks like this: "These are fun exercises to prac�ce spo�ng strengths. Please use the strength spo�ng sheet on the last page for this ac�vity and provide a copy for everyone who is par�cipa�ng." The problem exists in the previous version of Affinity as well. Please fix. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It looks like a problem with ligatures, to me. Two potential solutions: 1. Turn off the Standard Ligatures option in Typography in the Paragraph panel. 2. When Exporting, under advanced options, scroll down to the font subsetting option, and turn it off. You want the complete font embedded.

walt.farrell Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 You're welcome. I'm curious which of the approaches you tried, if you can share that.
