Hi everyone, I've been having serious problems lately trying to import PDF files with text inside.
The file is opened normally but the formatting of the texts is completely wrong making it unusable. I would like to know if there have been other reports and if there is a solution to the problem. The most absurd thing is that a free program like InkScape imports them perfectly and maintains the correct formatting -_-...I thank you for your help.
Text import from pdf works pretty well, as long as it is actually text. I've never a problem that was a bug and not an issue with a missing font, fonts that have been outlined or converted to curves, a language/localization issue or a damaged pdf. Maybe...maybe I remember something weird with ligatures, but it is rare.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I attach 2 images to better understand the difference in import between coreldraw 2020 and inkscape.I find it absurd that a free program can open files perfectly and a paid one has these problems.
Imported to INKSCAPE
Imported to COREL2020
Does Inkscape important as editable text?
Yes, the text remain editable-
I'd be curious to see if this is a line spacing issue. I've noticed that when importing pdf's that were possibly created with MS programs that they use points for line spacing. I hate using points. I have a macro that will convert line spacing of all text to percentages instead. Corel's default is 100%. Usually fixes things or at least gets me closer. If it's too much of a pain to fix a text heavy pdf I'll resort to importing with text as curves.
