ixpoz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Does Affinity Photo recognize embedded fonts in a pdf file? I print a lot of wide format graphics and there are times when i need to layout files a certain way that the RIP will not let me and I need to do it in photoshop. When I open the file in AP, if there are fonts involved, it asks me to replace them if they are not available. In PS, it recognizes the embedded fonts and it rasterizes the file without a hitch. Is this a feature that is coming, or a bug? I understand that if I need to make changes to the text, I need the font, but most of the time I just need to convert the file to a raster file. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 30, 2016 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi ixpoz, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently Affinity Designer and Photo don’t support embedded fonts when importing PDF’s. You have to select a replacement/substitute font to render the text. To be able to edit the text the original fonts must be installed. This may be supported in a future version but it's NOT coming anytime soon. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
