German_Printer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Place PDF file with embedded fonts in Affinity Publisher. Hello, I have done extensive testing with the current beta. Unfortunately it is the case that with placed PDF files the embedded fonts contain no PDF file. Even if the missing font is replaced by another one, the program crashes during PDF export. Unfortunately, it is the same with all programs. Designer, Photo and Publisher. In Page Plus, Indesign, Quark this works without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_K Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 HI German Printer The embedded fonts not being read is a known limitation. Are you able to provide the PDF that you are importing, which subsequently crashes when you try to export?

German_Printer Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Here in everyday example. This ad placed in the attachment contains a customer's note which may not be replaced. Here is also a grayscale image placed, this we have unfortunately converted to CMYK. Also the colors red magenta 100% and yellow 100% were replaced by magenta 100% and yellow 96%. For layout tasks it is absolutely necessary to integrate PDF files correctly. U4_Anzeige_Sparkasse.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
