Thank you for the help! I've uploaded the file into your Dropbox. I'm an uni student currently doing work for a Graphic Design class and I had to turn in my work like this, though I explained the situation to my teacher and on his end the Affinity file looks and exports fine. I'm worried this could happen in future works, however since it's not for a client I'm a lot more flexible with solutions. Hope you can find what's causing this so I can let him know!

I'm using the "Microsoft Print to PDF" option, which I mentioned in the original post, and it's under the "Print" option. I don't have these issues if I use the "Export" option, only the pixelization which is pretty minor compared to the result I get with the "Print" option.

ah, unfortunately i don't use this option, I use the Print option because I need the booklet setting, thank you for the help though!

Hi! I just saw this reply, where would this option be? Thank you!

So I'm having a very specific problem to which I haven't found a solution, I'm hoping someone can help me. Recently I used Affinity Publisher to export a file through the Print option as it's a booklet, so I used the "Microsoft Print to PDF" setting. This is the file as it looks on Affinity Publisher https://prntscr.com/s9a3rz https://prntscr.com/s9a3rp It's a vector drawing with no bitmap whatsoever. Here's how it looks when I export it. https://prntscr.com/s9a3ry https://prntscr.com/s9a3rw Besides the complete mismatch of the colors, there's some sort of JPEG compression present in the PDF. Note that this is the only part of the PDF that has this sort of compression, everything else was also vectorized and presented no signs of compression, it only shared the mismatching colors problem. So here are the problems: -There was one spread that displayed the colors as they were supposed to be in this exact same file so that leads me to believe it's not a color problem. -.exporting with the Export option doesn't cause the mismatching colors, however this vector piece is the only one that gets transformed into bitmap. I've used this image on another file (exported as normal but with different colors) and it was completely unnafected, no bitmap compression, no mismatched colors, nothing. I believe it's also not a vector related problem. https://prntscr.com/s9a3ca All of the vector images were made with Affinity Designer and both documents on Publisher and Designer have the exact same Preference settings. Is there a way to fix this? Please let me know! Thank you. (Also, if there's a problem with the links to the images let me know, thanks!)
