risottodirk Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I have a problem with imported pdfs in affinity publisher on mac os Mojave. This is what the original pdf looks like (screenshot) in the apple viewer. and this is how the imported pdf looks like in affinity publisher (screenshot) the music notation was exported from logic (apple). It worked well with Id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The font in Logic is probably not available to other programs. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risottodirk Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Bit it is obviously visible in Acrobat or in apples viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benwiggy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 See my thread here (and several others) about this. Unlike other DTP and vector artwork software, Affinity does not support importing PDFs with embedded fonts (i.e. any PDF with text). The correct glyphs will not be used, and some text elements will move. You will need to Outline the fonts (ie. convert them to vector graphics, instead of text). You can do this in Acrobat DC's Preflight panel. Or in Illustrator you can do each page. risottodirk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risottodirk Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 A workaround that helps in my case: I export the graphics with "strange" fonts not to pdf but to ps (Post Script) instead. Then the import works fine in publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
