Editing PDFs in Designer

[Przemysław]

Hi All,

I have a question about editing PDFs in Designer. I have a document (for example this one). I want to open it in Designer as a "flatten" document or with outlined letters without altering fonts, but when I open it, I have a window asking to replace or not the missing font. Is there any way that I can open it as it is? I don't want to edit existing text, but leave it as it is. Acrobat opens it OK, but Designer always makes some changes to the existing document. Or maybe it is something that upcoming Publisher will do?

Screenshots: 

1. View in Acrobat (I can delete some text or add to the line using different font)
2. View in Designer without font replacement
3. View in Designer with font replacement
4. Designer's dialog box when opening PDF

Affinity Designer doesn’t have a PDF passthrough feature. Affinity Publisher will need it at some point, but I won’t be at all surprised if it isn’t available in the initial release.

I opened it in Preview. Saved it as a .ps out of the print dialog. Seems like what you want.

The page size might not be right but everything seems to scale just fine..... everything is vector.

.ps attached

Edit: be careful though. The crown is suffering from the familiar Affinity bleed through. That's going to happen no matter what you do.

At print (or even pixel size) maybe it's small enough to not be too noticeable?

You can run a preflight action in Acrobat DC that will convert the text to curves.
