Thank you both for your replies! thomaso was right - it was about transparency beacause Adjustment Layer/Layer Effect was considered as something transparent and that's why the text was rasterized. I managed to overcome this by: 1) selecting both Background image and Adjustment Layer 2) creating a group of the two 3) merging the group Ps: as Fixx said, vector masks need to be applied to text layers if you don't want them to become rasterized.

Hi, I design calendars and so far everything was great. Text and other vector elements were exported to PDF as curves. Today I used an adjustment layer over a raster image and also created a pixel mask (if that's the correct title) in Pixel persona over a text layer. After that, each exported PDF has all its text rasterized as well. I double-checked to have "Text as Curves" option on. Since I didn't use masks nor adjustment layers before, I'm guessing it has something to do with that. What's the correct way to fix this? Please help, I'm panicking :)

Thanks a lot, MEB!

Hi, I want to join curves of this leaf's veins together in a single shape. I want it to look like this: But when I click "Join curves", I get this: What's the catch? I'm sure it's a trivial thing, but wherever I searched for an answer or tried messing around in AD, nothing has brought results. Please help.
