Hi everyone,

My employer needs me to send him my translation as a .PAC file. So, I work on Augisub and then I use SubtitlesEdit to convert the file to PAC. The thing is, when its done, the file loses all formatting (except the italics). There were some ghost boxes (shadow behind the subtitle to cover oracles that appear on screen) and they are gone. Plus, I am not sure about the letter size and font size (they specifically asked for Arial 16 fomatting).

Does anyone know

Does anyone know how to convert a file to .PAC without losing formatting? Is there any other way?

Thank you so much in advance!

Problems with .PAC formatting Apr 6, 2022

I am having exactly the same problem. I am trying to convert my .srt subtitles into .pac with Subtitle Edit. All fine, but whenever I open them again they are all misformatted.

I have the enconding "UTF-8 with BOM" selected. I even mixed around with some other types of encoding, but without success.

Can someone help?

Thanks.

Use .fcp Apr 14, 2022

Hey guys,

@Catia, which file format do you export from Aegisub to convert into a PAC file using Subtitle Edit? SRT files can't represent boxed subtitles.

@Pedro: .pac files do not support Unicode. You need to use Unicode PAC (.fcp) and choose the right language.
