Joerg M. Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hi, I tried to place a PDF in a publisher document as linked document. I encountered a problem, as there were missing fonts. When I tried the same thing in Indesign, there were no problems, the PDF was just displayed correctly, of course not editable but to edit it was not my intention anyway. Why is that behaviour in Publisher? Is there a special setting in Publisher? Or is it a bug? Or intentionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osang Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Same old problem that's been asked many times. The only workaround I find is to convert the pdf to image. The problem is, if it's a grayscale and the other images are in color (cmyk), the grayscale will also appear as 4 colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg M. Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Mmmmh, thats definitely a dealbreaker for me, I hope they fix it in an upcoming release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hi joergmaertin Unfortunately we do not support reading embedded fonts in PDFs at this time Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Depending on what other software you have available, you might be able to convert the text to curves in another program before importing it into the Affinity apps, as a workaround until they get this fixed. Examples: https://startscreenprintingnow.com/convertfonts/ (uses Acrobat Pro, which some people already have and is GUI-based) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28797418/replace-all-font-glyphs-in-a-pdf-by-converting-them-to-outline-shapes (uses Ghostscript from the command line, which is free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
