Exporting designs as PDFs is a common need for online businesses offering custom design tools, particularly for print-on-demand websites. Customers often wish to retain their creations for various purposes, including reprints, keepsakes, or personal archives. However, one major challenge many shop owners face is font errors when exporting these designs to PDF or JPG formats.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll address this issue, highlight solutions, and provide step-by-step instructions on how to export design files seamlessly using Printcart’s tools and features. By leveraging our Cloud API and Imagick technology, you can ensure error-free design exports that meet your customers' expectations. Let’s dive in.

Common Issues When Exporting Designs Online

Font Errors: A Persistent Challenge

Font-related errors occur frequently when exporting designs. These errors may arise due to unsupported fonts, missing font files, or issues with encoding during the export process. The result is often misaligned text, incorrect font styles, or, in the worst cases, blank spaces where text should appear.

Such errors can negatively impact customer satisfaction and lead to rework, ultimately reducing efficiency and increasing operational costs for your shop.

The Need for Reliable Export Solutions

Given the technical limitations of some hosts or export tools, many businesses struggle to offer a seamless experience. Customers expect high-quality files that match their original designs. To meet these expectations, it is crucial to use robust tools that eliminate common design-export issues.

So how should this error be handled? Should you fix it or not?

We simply use our API to export the design to PDF instead of using their host: the advantage of the API is to limit Font errors when designing.

With this feature, you need an additional add-on - Imagick.
Imagick has a built-in font library so font errors do not happen. Because at Imagick, not all hosts can integrate. We have integrated into our host. So the problem of font errors is completely solved
