Converting Text to an Image

To convert text to the image, select the text box and choose the Convert Text to Image command from its context menu. The image made from text will look like the original text.

Conversion text to image is useful to:

• Avoid problems with fonts when you send the document exported to PDF to the commercial printer. Or when the PDF file is intended to view on a computer that may have not all fonts used in the document.
• Apply to text some graphic effects that will not work with text.
  For example, you can mirror text using the horizontal flipping when text was turned to the image.
• Copy text to other applications that do not work with text but only with images.

Note:
All text boxes linked to the selected box will be converted.
Text converted to the image cannot be edited as text any more.

Text can be converted to the image right before printing by setting the Convert Text to Curves option in the Advanced Printing Settings dialog. Two methods are different. When using the conversion option in the print settings:

• The original text will stay text, you will be able to edit it.
• All text boxes are affected, you should not convert individually.
