Greetings.
I receive PDF files with embedded fonts. I want to add the PDFs without changes to my PhotoLine layout.
I understand that PhotoLine will use Ghostscript to convert the embedded fonts to outlines. I’m running MacOS 10.14.6 and PL 21.5. I installed the full Ghostscript 9.53.1 package for Mac as provided by Richard Koch. GS runs normally in Terminal. However, in PL when I use the command Import > GS Import, PL still tries to replace the embedded fonts with system fonts. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks for any help.

Re: Opening PDF Files with GhostScript
Password-protected document?
Only subset of fonts embedded?
TrueType fonts?
I can open any PDF (I am using only professional OT fonts) either by clicking the file, right click —> open with or by importing by —> GS import
macOS Catalina 10.15.6
PL 22.03

Re: Opening PDF Files with GhostScript
The Open panel of "File > Import > GS Import" has an option to convert text to paths. Sadly, by default, macOS is hiding this option, and you have to click the "Option" button in the lower left corner of the Open panel to show it. Did you do that?Eidolon hat geschrieben: ↑Mi 16 Sep 2020 22:15I understand that PhotoLine will use Ghostscript to convert the embedded fonts to outlines. I’m running MacOS 10.14.6 and PL 21.5.

I guess Eidolon expects the text to be editable...
