21Pilots Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Need to convert a bunch of pdfs to jpgs, but somewhat ridiculously, the program is too clever. It wants to convert all the fonts, is there anyway I can open the file as a picture? So it's not editable? This is possible in the 'other' photo based program...

R C-R Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Why not just export the opened pdfs as jpegs?

21Pilots Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Because main file is at work and pdf (and Affinity) is at home. I collected files for portfolio, but now found out how I am going to use them (sticking them into a free website maker), I can't use pdfs. So in conclusion - what I want, cant be done?

I do not understand your answer. What format is "main file"? Are you saying you cannot access something from your present location be it at work or at home?

Which program is too clever and tries to convert all fonts, also do you mean fonts embedded in PDFs here?

21Pilots Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 The original files are made in InDesign, which from that I have made a pdf. What I was attempting to do is open that pdf in Affinity Photo, to convert it into a jpg. But I need to be able to open the pdf as a flat image as I don't have the same fonts.

How does this 'main file at work' relate to the pdf files you have at home? Are they the same image in different formats? If they are, the @R C-R's solution is the way to go. If not then what are they? John Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.

Staff MEB Posted January 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi 21Pilots, Welcome to Affinity Forums It's not possible to open/import PDF's directly as images in Affinity apps. To do this we would still need to be able to have the fonts available/installed since currently Affinity doesn't support embedded fonts.

Fixx Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just use some other app to convert PDFs. Apple's Preview for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Or just export directly from InDesign as JPG, as far as you didn't intended to apply at home making changes to the PDFs and thus just wanted to convert formats.
