macfloer Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 Hello, i have a problem creating an PDF. Exporting to PDF converts some Fonts in my document into curves. Some, not all. What can be the reason? Thank you for help. Thomas Quote
Komatös Posted April 9, 2023 Posted April 9, 2023 Hi @ macfloer. The author of the font may have restricted its use and redistribution. Quote MAC mini M4 | MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 | 16 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD AMD Ryzen 7 5700X | INTEL Arc A770 LE 16 GB | 32 GB DDR4 3200MHz | Windows 11 Pro 24H2 (26100.3476) Affinity Suite V 2.6.1 & Beta 2.6 (latest) Interested in a free (selfhosted) PDF Solution? Have a look at Stirling PDF I already had a halo, but it didn't suit me!
macfloer Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 thank you, that is possible. But exporting an PDF from InDesgin works well without problems. I hope i could replace InDesign with Publisher. But PDF-Export has to work right. Quote
macfloer Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 Here are two Screenshots of the fonts usewd in the document and what happens after converting in PDF. Font problems.pdf Quote
macfloer Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 Thank you so far. All fonts in the document are embedded but not the Font „Interstate“. Quote
macfloer Posted April 11, 2023 Author Posted April 11, 2023 Hello, thank you for your efforts. Yes, the source-document was in IDML, openend in Publisher. I have all the fonts physically on my Mac. I can work with them in the Publisher document. The font Minion works well, but all text written in Interstate will be converted into curves when exported in PDF. The problem is, i send the PDF to the author where he can make his corrections and so on. But he cannot make changes in text converted to curves. I really dont understand where the problem comes from. Quote
macfloer Posted April 11, 2023 Author Posted April 11, 2023 Your PDF works fine, fully editable. I will look after my installed fonts. Thank you so far! Thomas Quote
