Disastrous PDF/X-4 compatibility with new Affinity Publisher 1.0

Hello!

As discussed on several threats here in the forums, a european PDF-"Master" and notable member of some PDF-workgroups posted today

Please fix the PDF-import or add a PDF-Pass-through. Its really important for using Publisher day by day.

Could this also be the reason why a pdf created by Affinity Publisher loses all images when placed on Google Docs?

Were you placing a PDF document into a Publisher document and then exporting as a new PDF?

If not, you were not performing the same kind of operation as mentioned in that blog post.

To understand the significance of the info in the document, which is linked in the initial post: It is written by Stephan Jaeggi, one of the world‘s leading PDF experts …

It is still a long, long way to go …

No, Walter, I sent a pdf of my magazine to my rep and she put it on her google docs and noticed all images had disappeared.

The magazine's first issue that I had created with a beta version did not do this.

World View, this has absolutely nothing to do with the issue, reported the initial post.

The article is dealing with high level PDF output compatibility.
