    Translation: The embedded font "IWUSEV+FrutigerLTStd-Bold" could not be removed. Some characters may not be displayed or printed correctly.

    The same PDF-Export with XDP V12.8.1.50861 is korrekt without font embeding error.

    I can confirm this. This seems to be font-dependent, though: Some work, others don't.

    This is just great. Now I have to decide between V15 with this PDF font bug and V12, which adds an unwanted white "page" background shape to all exported PDF documents - a bug that was never fixed, btw.

    Come on guys. PDF export is bread and butter business for a design software...

    Hi Ikari,
    the white Pagebackground in PDF/X-1a or 3a is normal because this versions flatten all transparancies. Take an PDF/X-1a from Indesign or an other DTP-Software and you will find this Background too.

    The only way to be safe in output for print in XDP v15 is to transform fonts to objects. An other workaround I found is the way to mark the font who makes trouble and change i.E. the weight and then change back. Then export to PDF and voilá it works.

    But bug is bug. So pls Xara correct it.

    I don't see this is any other DTP software but XDPX V12.8... InDesign, Illustrator and Affinity Designer don't do this, neither did/do Xara versions before or after V12.8... See here for our discussion about this back in last September: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...he-last-update

    But anyway, back to the new V15 issue at hand...

    The white background is only created when the transparency is reduced.
    Please write an object and some text in XDP 12 to a PDF/X-1a, without transparency or shadow or other effects. There is no white background.
    In contrast to v15, v12 writes correct PDF.

    What happens if you remove the the page shadow before export. I don't then get a white background in the export using v15

    Example:
    Attached Files Attached Files
    Egg

    Intel i7 - 4790K Quad Core + 16 GB Ram + NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Graphics Card + MSI Optix Mag321 Curv monitor
    + Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB SSD + 232 GB SSD + 250 GB SSD portable drive + ISP = BT + Web Hosting = TSO Host

    As far as I remember, the issue with the white page background was fixed in v.15. It didn't have anything to do with the page border/shadow.

    I can no longer replicate that now Mike. It exports without the background white rectangle either with or without the page shadow. Very odd.

    HI Ernie, I sent you a private message to provide you with an email address to submit the file and the font too. This will allow us to try and reproduce and resolve the issue.

    Many thanks

    I have found that exporting a document that includes a CHECKMARK in WINGDINGS font changes the character on output which I consider a bug. It NEVER did that in earlier versions, and still doesn't. Something has been changed in the export, and no-one but me seems to care. I'm sure the same bug is responsible for a number of the PDF issue threads that have been posted recently.
