Upchain PDF translation changes drawing font, blacks-out PNG images in drawing, and loses color

A SOLIDWORKS drawing generated during initial Item creation and subsequent check-ins retains the document font, PNG images, and all colors; however, when an item is released, its PDF translation loses the document font (converting to a new font), PNGs in the drawing convert into a black box, and all colors are lost. This can negatively impact my ability to communicate specifications to my suppliers, to the point that these translations are unusable. This translation automation is one of the main selling points of Upchain, but these formatting problems kill that point. I would like to suggest that in a future update, the PDF translations retain all of the font, image, and also document color formatting from the original SLDDRW file.
