Vernon @ M&M Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi out there After I've made a pdf from a file and I go to File - Share - Mail, the file is exported as a jpeg and not a pdf. Is there something I'm missing in my settings that I haven't checked? Can I export a pdf directly from Affinity Designer - version 1.4.2? Advice gratefully received Thanks Vernon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 27, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi Vernon, No, you cannot export/send a PDF directly from Affinity Designer/Photo to Mail app. The command you found in File menu sends the file as a JPG as you discovered. To add the PDF as an attachment you have to do it manually, dragging it from the Finder to the Mail app. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwhit Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 As with all Mac apps, go to Print. In print dialog (show details), at bottom left you can send a PDF via Mail, or you can open a PDF in Preview, then share it. Only issue is it can be a large pdf file if the original is high rez.
