Is there a way to view PDF export data when opening again in Publisher?

[bruno7]

Hi, guys,

I am using lots of presets for print but time to time I need to see what were the export data - namely Compatibility, Colour Space and Profile. 

For example right now I need to replicate the exact export but I did not save the preset and I don't remember the settings I used.

 

Thanks for any help.

If you're working with your original Affinity file (.afpub, .afphoto, .afdesign) and you Saved after doing the File > Export, the last Export settings should be available in the Export dialog, I think.

If you didn't Save, or if you're working from an Exported PDF file, then no.

Yeah, I need it from an Exported File. 

Is there any other software that could access these settings?

Which settings, specifically?

If you open your exported PDF in APub it should get opened with the initially exported Colour Space and Profile as the resulting document profile. If images are listed in the Resource Manager with a differing colour space then "convert image colour spaces" has not been activated on export (while their profile may differ from the initial profile of the initial image).

For compatibility (I assume you refer to the PDF version) other apps may display this, for instance on mac the Finder and/or the Preview.app in their Info panels.
