Why export persona available on affinity designer and photo but not on publisher? it is a pretty handy feature if one want to export only a part of document within the desired format. 

I've added your report to the issue for this.

I can confirm this. I posted similar problem with Photoshop before.
It seems that only Adobe's have this problem.
It acquires an image object as a vector object(SVG/PDF contains an image).
Clipboard content has a bitmap image also but it's not used when pasting it, Adobe's prefer PDF/SVG content.

Tried on Mac also and the same result.

Pasting to Office or Corel  has very little or no quality degradation.

Hi @komakolud,
I can't replicate this here. Do you use any clipboard managers? I see that the affinity document is in Pixels, and your illustrator is in MM. Have you tried using the same units? 

***Affinity feature requests***
* Having a Hex color Input box on "HSL color wheel" dialog box.
* Global Gradient Swatches. Are they this hard to implement in affinity software...it's been 3 years almost and the top design app for mac still doesn't support global gradient swatches, why is that?
* Dynamic Styles. Yes, a workaround for this is using a symbol but having a dynamic style instead of using a Symbol can be used in many areas, means, i can implement a dynamic style with shadows and glow to a circle, a rectangle, a polygon...while having ability to manipulate and watch effects like shadows taking change on multiple objects in real time. You get the idea, right? Specially for Ui/Ux designers.
* Symbol lock (Sometimes we end up making changes to symbols only to zoom out and realizing those changes impact symbols on the entire page. Hence a special symbol locking mechanism would be very welcomed
where we can lock symbols so that they can be moved and resized but cannot be modified or implement changes to their appearances)
* PDF, Word documents (and i suspect some other document types) could not be set as linked like various image formats. They remain embedded and could not be linked which clutter the affinity document thus increasing file size.
* It's impossible to separate/group swatches within a swatch category, please do something about it
* Shape builder tool (We all know it how much us designers are craving for this handy dandy boolean operation tool. come on team serif
* We can create separate grids for separate artboards, but we cannot set different grid line color for each cardboard. Suppose if i change grid line color or opacity to "green" on one artboard, all other artboards also
have same grid line color and opacity. This gets troublesome when we have multiple artboards with different grids and you have to jump in between.
* Shape Blend tool (least priority but essential tool)
* Mirroring tool (I get the idea to use symbols as workaround for mirroring but wont a separate tool make tasks a lot easier for logo/graphic designer?)
* Functionality to add more Api within Affinity software to grab assets from websites, just like unsplash is the only one currently supported. (https://developer.flaticon.com/landing)
* When exporting an artboard, the default filename should be the name of the artboard. For bonus points, a way to export multiple artboards (from the same document, with the same settings) at once would also be very helpful.
* Export Persona (or something that make exporting easy) for Publisher as well.
 
  Would love to hear your thoughts on this thread. Also, if you found my post/thread/content contributing and containing genuine new feature requests do mention and share your views. it'll make my day 😃 
 

The request is for the HSL wheel mode of Colour panel to have a field for pasting or copying a RGB Hex value, which already is implemented in the Colour Chooser window.

Oh, apologies. But nonetheless thanks for response and i am glad to share my insights with a moderator.
 
Yes! you're right. i was actually considering EPS as a universal vector format, to be supported by every vector app and being treated equally. i didn't gave Ai format a try, neither expected the Pdf dilemma nor was aware about it's existence even in Eps. thanks for breaking it down for me 😃
