This update includes multiple PDF import fixes and accuracy improvements, plus the following changes to font handling when editing imported PDFs:

Most PDF files include a definition of all the fonts that are used by the text in the PDF (embedded fonts), so they can be displayed accurately by any PDF Viewer. So when opening a PDF, Xara Cloud is now able to import these fonts too. Previously, Xara Cloud would often use a similar font instead. Now Xara Cloud will always use the fonts from the PDF (if they are embedded), so all text should always appear exactly as the document author intended, on any device. You can recognize those fonts, since they all have a PDF- prefix on their names, so you can easily distinguish them from regular Xara Cloud fonts.

The fonts included in PDFs are usually incomplete, containing only the characters that are used in the PDF document. Thanks to Xara Cloud’s solution, you can edit text using these fonts as long as you only type characters that are already in the document. If you type a character that is not included in the PDF font, Xara Cloud will warn you and offer you 2 options:

When selecting 'Ignore', you will not be warned again about missing characters for that particular font, in the current editing session.

In this release we’ve improved the display of CMYK colors on screen, and also in all export formats that require conversion of CMYK colors to RGB. These color conversions now use a standard state-of-the-art Color Profile.

Together with our partner Vizzlo (our data visualization integration), we have improved the workflow to achieve faster results.

Now you can see a button in the Vizzlo editor, which only takes 1-click to get right back to your Xara Cloud document.
