[Affinity Design export to PDF: layers messed up!]

I'm using 1.9.0.

I think i have to use a different software to check layers on exported pdf files, other then re-importing in Affinity Design, even if is weird, or bad, if you rely on pdf source files only...

Thank you.

If is a bug, i hope someone from development will read this topic!

[Publisher Page Box PDF linked files]

Hi, thank you for answer.

I attached a print screen of file. First column updated attachment and expanded dimensions to crop-box.

Now i have first column items sized to 30mm, instead of 25 mm (blue file)

I saw that in some other files the software open up the file, the attachment are over-sized, and then begin a resizing process to bring right dimensions to items. In Yellow file you can see print screen when process  is going on. But sometimes not all items are fixed...

[Publisher Page Box PDF linked files]

Hi.

I use to import (link) in publisher pdf graphics with bleed and crop marks. Page box is set to "crop box", in order to show and print such details.

I save and close publisher file.

If i modify the linked PDF file, and re-open the publisher file, the resource manager warn about the change: running the "update" i get new version

of PDF resource, but the result is that the linked resource is now bigger: the "trim box" is expanded to dimensions of the old "crop box".

How can i keep same dimensions updating resources? Is it a bug?

Thanks.

[Layers's name and structure when exporting to pdf]

Hi. I have a problem when exporting form Designer. My printing service ask to get all graphics on one layer called "Artwork" and the cutting contour on another level called "CutContour". I arranged accordingly the layers in my designer source file, but when i check the exported pdf file, the name of layers is changed and also some layers are added (for instance a layer is added for the contour of the bleed). Is that possible to keep the structure and names of layers? I tried out all export options...
