BigStef Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi, I'm testing Publisher and have already bought Designer and Photo. Yes, I'm trying to stop being hostage to Adobe But ... What about the PDF management in Print Process : Do I need Adobe Distiller to have proper PDF for Print ? Is there any roadmap for an "Affinity PDF reader" compatible ? : most of my customer work on PDF with me for modification/validation, so I need to to be able to read notes, comments, etc) I always check my PDF in "Acrobat Reader" before send it to printers I would probably have to "rent" Acrobat DC, but I would buy any Affinity alternative, for sure :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Pdfs are exported, no need for distiller. I seriously doubt Serif would ever create a pdf viewer. Adobe Reader is fine for checking exported pdfs. If you have an Adobe account and sign into it, a few more capabilities are enabled in Reader DC. Adobe Reader uses the same color managed engine in Acrobat. The other items you mention are available in Reader. As for replacing Acrobat, the only alternative is callas pdfToolbox. Initial cost is up there. I wouldn't be without it, though. callas is who makes all the magic possible in Acrobat as they license it to Adobe.

BigStef Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi Mike, thanks for answer :) Anyhow, quitting Adobe to be "All" Affinity is not the THE solution neither :-) I will have a test on pdfToolbox, thanks for suggestion...
