PDF Placement still broken


Recommended Posts

This bug has never been addressed, but with Publisher being, well… for desktop publishing, now would be a good time to do so.

Since the beginning placing PDFs didn't work right. The formatting was broken and fonts were incorrectly replaced (Times should be replaced with Times New Roman, not Arial).

As a reference on how it should work, look at Pages, Keynote, Preview, InDesign, Quark XPress…

 

EDIT:

Right now the only way we have in the Affinity suite is to rasterise each page of the document to our output device. For offset printing that would be the point where outlines are lasered on film. We're now talking about several 1200dpi CMYK files.

Hi Frank,

Do you still have these issues in the latest beta? If so are you able to provide some example PDF's where the formatting is incorrect/fonts are being incorrectly replaced? Are you enabling "Favour editable text over fidelity" when importing?

Thanks
