How to Print Virtual Booklet with curved texts into Affinity Publisher

[Rose Idiartt]

I need to generate a final PDF archive (Booklet Model) for print of a magazine

When to print the Booklet Model, (File>Print ... Model: Booklet) doesn't convert the texts into curves, I don't see this configuration option either. I can see, rasterize option, I don't see this option suitable for texts with small size.

I can convert the texts to curves, (Layer > Convert to Curves) the blocks of linked texts, will automatically generate an editable copy.

This option of text in curves only works when I export to PDF, but this one doesn't work for me, because the file doesn't work with the booklet page order.

Hi @Rose Idiartt and welcome to the forums,

I'm not aware of any Print drivers that provide an option to convert Text to Curves (I could of course be wrong!).

I think your best option would still be to export to PDF, selecting 'Text as curves' and then use the Booklet printing option in Acrobat Reader which works correctly, unlike the current version in Publisher which is still awaiting a fix...

Thank you very much for your help @Hangman I hope this option is added in publisher soon ☺️

Workaround:
1. Print imposed (as booklet) into a PDF.
2. Open the resulting PDF in Affinity.
3. Export as PDF with the option 'Text as curves'.

Limitation: Printing into a PDF doesn't give you choices for PDF specifications (e.g. no choice for a certain profile, no spot colours)
