Aaron Martin Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Is there a way to export to PDF that automatically converts all shapes and texts to curves? Also. I would like to know what are the differnce between PDF for Export, for Web and for Print? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 There is an export option for exporting text as curves. Parametric shapes are automatically exported as curves, so no further controls are needed. PDF for Export is the best option to choose if you intend to import the result in another application, PDF for Web keeps the resolution and file size to a minimum, and PDF for Print gives you access to standards such as PDF/X (a subset of the PDF specification that yields files which will print predictably).

Aaron Martin Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thank you for your respond. I couldnt manage to find the option to export texts as curves. Can you elaborate where can i find it? Im glad to find such option exist. Ive been manually converting all texts to curves all these times which was a drag in big documenst like packaging sets that some texts are imbedded and mixed with shapes.

MikeW Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Select the More button when using the PDF export dialog. It's an option that will then be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for stepping in, Mike. You need to scroll all the way down to the ‘Embed fonts’ dropdown list in the secondary dialog. The ‘Text as Curves’ option is hidden away in there.

Aaron Martin Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Is an option like this available on export persona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Exactly the same options are available via the dropdown list in the Export Options panel in the Export persona. Once again, you need to scroll down to see it.
