Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 to .PDF
I've just converted an A3 double sided file containing 100% text in 22 varying languages. The Xara a/w looks perfect but when I view the .PDF convertion it has added squares with a cross inside to several of the foriegn languages where there should be spaces.
I've tried varying the .pdf convertor set-ups but to no avail. Any ideas guys?
Re: Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 to .PDF
How are you converting it? What PDF converter are you using?
Re: Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 to .PDF
I think that some fonts that do not contain certain characters, display a box as you are describing.
Re: Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 to .PDF
'Xara Xtreme PDF Preset', it's the panel that opens after I've named the file in the Export panel and hit 'Export'.
Re: Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 to .PDF
The copy is as received from the translators and I've checked their copy with my pasted one and it's fine.

Attachment 99380 This is the box that's being added to copy.
Attachment 99381This is how it appears and how it should look. (It's Latvian BTW)

If it wouldn't be too much work you could try changing the font of the affected spaces to one that does work.

Brilliant Christine, there's always a simple solution isn't there? That language now looks fine, there were obviously characters missing, I changed the font to Arial from Frutiger and it takes on a whole new look. If all the rest do the same and this problem's rectified, I owe you big time Christine, thank you! X

Your welcome - Frutiger - is that a commercial font? not one I have come across before.

Yes, Frutiger is a commercial font. Likely it is an older copy on the OP's system that simply doesn't support the required characters. A new version would if the correct one was purchased.
