magicdesign__ Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have not used affinity for a while but previously I have imported a 128 page pdf and all layout was maintained perfectly. This morning I downloaded the latest version and tried to open the same 128 page pdf document which, when opened, all the previously cropped images lost their crop and it has basically made the document unusable. Here is one example screen shot of how it is meant to look next to how it was imported into publisher, but it is happening to every page. As mentioned, this did not happen in older versions.

magicdesign__ Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have that page as a 1 page pdf (if any of the staff want to test it for themselves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Post the page here. Maybe others want to have a look too? ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicdesign__ Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Here is an example pdf page. As mentioned, when I open in publisher, it loses all the cropping. Happens to all 128 pages of the document. I have also tested with other pdf docs (not created by myself) and cropping is lost there too. page_24_as_an_example_v1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I can confirm. Cropping is lost. When I open the document in Designer 1.65.123 everything is okay. Exporting from there and placing in Publisher is working fine. Something changed inside the PDF parser of Publisher compared to 1.65 Designer? ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Digged a bit further. File from magicdesign_ is made with PDFLib / PDI 9.0.5 from 05/2015 APublisher makes use of PDFLib / PDI 9.1.2 from 02/2018 ADesigner 1.65 opens the PDF without problems with PDFLib / PDI 9.0.5-i. Strange enough, there seems to be happening something, because this version can be imported in APub without problems. What does the -i mean? Current version of PDFLib / PDI is 9.2.0 from 02/2019 So I assume there are some incompatibilities between 9.0.5 and 9.1.2. Was there a switch in the betas lately at the PDFLib / PDI? ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicdesign__ Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 It was created in pageplus x9 - i actually tried changing the pdf output versions to 1.7 and the x profiles - and they all did the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Changing output versions won't help. The PDFLib version is the same independently to the target versions. Only workaround I know right now is opening in ADesigner 1.65 and exporting as PDF again. Added: Strange, if I open the PDF in Illustrator all images have inverted colors. Added 2: Nice side effect of re-saving with ADesigner 1.65 is the massive decrease of the file size from 62 MB to 5 MB.
