AD: Preserve Text Editing Capabilities for PDF export

[viterzbayraku]

Following this topic: 

 

It would be good to have "Preserve Editing Capabilities" for text blocks like Adobe Illustrator for PDF exporting. Because now text frames splitting to frames for every row and the document becomes inaccessible for normal editing in the other editor.

As I mentioned in that thread, your request would only ever apply to AD opening one of its own PDFs. This request would not ever apply to another non-Affinity product like Illustrator opening an AD PDF.

 

If your desire is for Illustrator to reconstruct lines of text in a PDF into paragraphs, you need to request that of Adobe.

Mike, why PDF saved in Illustrator opening in AD with normal text paragraphs (AD understand it), but PDF, saved in AD, opening in Illustrator as text with splitted rows.  Can AD make imitation of the feature "Preserve editing capabilities" like in Adobe? When AD understand this option, than AD can reproduce it?

Because the library that AD uses for opening pdfs and likely how Serif has implemented that library includes the combining of text runs. AI's programming does not do that.
