Rcoopr Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I created a pdf using Sketchup Layout. The pdf renders perfectly in Adobe reader and Illustrator. However there appears to be some text rendering difficulties in Affinity Designer. Some text is missing and what is displayed is poorly grouped, broken and jumbled and it is difficult to edit. Please see the attached images. All the fonts are installed on my system. I have tried all 4 on/off variants of the checkboxes in PDF Options > 'favour editable text over fidelity' AND 'group lines of text into text frames'. The results vary - but none of them match the original pdf. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted June 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 3, 2019 No problem at all, thanks for your file! When importing the PDF please untick both options; 'Favor editable text over fidelity' & 'Group lines of text into text frames'. Your PDF should now import without issue Quote Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.
