Doc Ricky Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 One reason why I keep another vector app on the iPad is the superior support for PDF files. I round trip there just to convert to SVG to get into Affinity Designer on the iPad. I haven’t found a good postscript to PDF parser on iOS at all, but I am hoping that AD can directly at least import one of these file types.

Doc Ricky Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yes, it’s supposed to, but it doesn’t work that way. Take for example this PDF file, which was should preview properly, but if rendered in Affinity Designer, doesn’t work. Design.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 22, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 22, 2018 Thanks for your screenshots, unfortunately we don't currently supported embedded fonts in a PDF so you will need to install the missing fonts in your Affinity Designer before importing the PDF in. You can find out how to do this here - https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/ipad/video/273647530 Quote Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.
