GoddessLissa Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I am just starting using AD and love what little I can do with it to create content for clients. Looking forward to improving my skills as I get more familiar with the software, but I'm struggling to define something that is happening today when I'm importing PDFs and - since I can't exactly define what is happening - I'm not entirely sure how to search for the solutions. I've tried every permutation of selecting and de-selecting the checkboxes when opening the docs I need to work in, but I'm still not able to open a file with editable text fields the way I've been able to every other time I've opened PDFs. Can someone point me in the right direction to a solution (that hopefully isn't retyping out the entire document since I can't seem to find any versions of the original source material that aren't PDFs). Could the issue be something that's unique to the program these PDFs were originally created/saved in? Just installed Affinity on my Macbook this week so I know I'm working in the most UTD iteration. Thanks so much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 17, 2017 Staff Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hi GoddessLissa, Welcome to Affinity Forums Seems the text was converted to curves (paths) in the original program or when the PDF was generated/exported and as such it cannot be imported as a text object. They are just a group of shapes that happen to look like letters. Patrick Connor 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
