lacerto Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 See below: A pdf advertisement with bleeds is placed on a document. Now open the attached pdf (for print) exported from Affinity Publisher. The app has recomposed the pdf and misplaced graphics, and also changed fonts (understandably as it cannot pass embedded fonts). I know that passthrough is not supported but silently recomposing an imported pdf (especially when showing the original art correctly as an image) marked as "linked", is at least misleading, if not a total lie Why support placing a PDF file at all and call it linked graphics? It would be clearer to just import it and convert it as native graphics and let the user understand that this is only a recomposition and an approximation of the real thing, as this is what the app does anyway, when the job is finally produced... Passthrough should really be the topmost thing to be supported in the near future. Publisher recomposes pretty well trimmed art and even text when fonts are available on the system, but in real-world we need to be able to accept ready-mades by other designers. affinitypub_test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
