    Easiest way to fix broken/corrupt/weird PDFs?

    No. With Affinity Publisher you can't even place a PDF in a Publisher document unless you have the fonts loaded locally or it will replace the embedded fonts with something else that is loaded locally on your system., InDesign or Quark do not have that issue. Heck even PageMaker wouldn't even do...

    Adobe Alternative?

    Well there is nothing wrong with the Adobe apps except for the ransom they want you to pay for the privilege of using them. And if you can't place a PDF in your page layout application without having all of the fonts available and opened locally you automatically lose before you even start.

    Adobe Alternative?

    Well if you have the full blown Acrobat you have distiller. Run the postscript file through distiller to make a PDF.

    Adobe Alternative?

    You also have to have the fonts loaded just to place a PDF into Publisher. If there is an embedded font in the PDF that you don't have open locally it will reflow that text in the PDF. It does not recognize embedded fonts in a PDF in any way shape or form and until they fix that glaring problem...

    Affinity Publisher is released!

    Agreed and it defeats the whole purpose of PDF: What is PDF? PDFs run your world. You know you use PDFs to make your most important work happen. That’s why we invented the Portable Document Format (PDF), to present and exchange documents reliably — independent of software, hardware, or...

    Affinity Publisher is released!

    Ran across this in my testing also. Publisher does not recognize or use fonts that are embedded in a PDF. You have to have every font that is embedded in a PDF open on the computer you are using to be able to safely place a PDF into Publisher. Affinity suggests either rasterizing the entire PDF...

    Do you still have healthcare?

    Not sure where in the USA anyone can get Health insurance for $500 per month. I am paying over $800 per month for my wife on my work health insurance. Your link said the average monthly cost in my state is $537. I'd do backflips down the street if I could get health insurance for that price for...

    Do you still have healthcare?

    You can continue your current coverage through Cobra insurance at the same cost your employer and you were paying plus 2%. But if your employer was paying part or all of your premium then you have to pay the entire amount plus the 2%.

    No one talking about corona virus yet? - Thoughts on slowing down

    I appreciate your thoughts on this but we'll just have to agree to disagree about needing Martial Law and a stay at home full lockdown at this time.

    No one talking about corona virus yet? - Thoughts on slowing down

    You can't have Martial law without either police, military, or National Guard to enforce it. You've shut down everything but hospitals so who is going to be delivering these military rations? What you are suggesting would cause widespread panic, looting and chaos in general. I do agree the list...
