PDF import inaccurate with fonts


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I am new to the Affinity forum, and also to the programs, but I seem to have found a problem no one posted yet, and it would be important for me to be solved (or for me to be shown a solution).

 

I want to import a .pdf file, that was written by whatever software, and it contains texts, that were neither rasterized, nor converted to curves (outlined). When I open the .pdf in Adobe Reader, it shows all fonts as they should be. When I import it in Photoshop, it is able to rasterize the fonts correctly.

When I import the .pdf file in AP it asks me what to prefer: keeping texts (and losing font properties), or losing texts (but keeping graphics unchanged). This button does not seem to do what it proposes to do. I do not need to edit texts, but I need the opened graphics to look exactly like they do in Adobe Reader, so I opened with the "favor editable text over fidelity" unticked (and also "replace missing fonts" option unticked). Yet the opened graphics is full of editable texts, and the missing fonts are replaced.

 

Do you know about this issue? Is there a solution planned? Am I doing something wrong?

 

(I attached the file that I tried with. Enough to import the first page.)

 

Thank you for your answer, and sorry if I violated any forum guidelines, let me know what to do differently next.

 

Best Regards,

Tamás

Hi Barcstamaas,

 

Unfortunately we don't currently support embedded fonts in Affinity yet (which is why the text is importing incorrectly no matter what option you're selecting). The only thing I can suggest is to ensure you have all the fonts installed that the document uses and then reopen it.
