PDF export not working [solved]


Recommended Posts

i've recently had a problem with exporting file to pdf (in both photo & designer) - even after creating an empty blank document with nothing it in, the pdf exports was failing, saying the file cannot be written... 
i went through this forum and others but couldnt find any solution...  weird thing was it was happening on both my desktop and laptop. it worked fine on my friends computer though. 

reinstalling windows helped so then i was installing every piece of software i use and was checking pdf export after every few apps. 

finally the problem came back... turned out it was a problem with a font.. after installing all my extra fonts i couldnt export again... 

so then finally i did pinpoint it to SI_Font - it seams that pdf brakes after installing this font, and goes away after you uninstall it (you cannot uninstall it when affinity app is open though, even if you're not using it in the document). 

 

took me while to figure it out and hopefully it might help someone, as i've found it seems to be a popular (and quite annoying) issue... might be not always connected to this (or maybe some other font), but it's probablt no harm trying it out.  

 

hope that might help people

I completely agree with you.
Faced this error even on the first versions of the program, as new versions were released, the error persisted.
Yesterday, I deleted all the fonts and exported it.
BUT, I could not find which typeface conflicts with Affinity.
But it's definitely not Si Font, I just do not have it.
