Which file extension to use


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm a newbie which will be evident from my possibly confusing question.  I created a file in Affinity Designer which contained various fonts.  I then exported it as a .pdf.  This file was then opened in Corel Draw by another person.  It failed to open correctly;  the fonts were incorrect and the layout was a mess.  What is the best way to get a file created in AD to be compatible with PC based programmes?  Not just Corel Draw by the way.  Most grateful for any advice that is not too technical as it will be lost on me.  Thanks.

Do you know if the fonts had been embedded into the PDF file? On the Export window click More and the Embed Fonts options are at the bottom. If none of the text needs to be editable, you can always select the Text as Curves option. This will convert them during the export process.

Again if nothing needs to be edited you have the option of rasterising everything on export.
