  1. Hi Garry, that was a hot tip and solved my problem, thanks a lot! I just changed the outline effect to stroke and the colors of the two words are now identical. It was probapbly due to the one word getting rasterzied. 💕
  2. Affinity Designer 2.5.7 Windows 11 This is driving me insane. I recently do a a mapping project. I have place names which i imported as curves and additional place names I added in Designer with the graphic text tool. So far so good, everything as expected This is how it looks in Designer: The upper one is a curve, the lower one a graphic text. Both have the same color. As soon as i export it as PDF the two place labels become different, color wise and quality wise: I changed the export settings quite a bit, but I can't find a solution. These are my export setting: Any idea?
  3. Good to know. Thanks a lot Garry!
  4. Yep, I will update Affinity as I will be starting a new project anytime soon. To be more precise on the problem with Persona: I just looked into it again and it's not a bug, but indeed update related. Persona doesn't work because the different versions of Publisher and Designer seem to be not compatible. So the Persona dialogue says I need to update Deisgner for it to work. I will update everything and check if the suggested workflow works and if the problems appear again.
  5. Yes, but right now my Persona seems to be buggy and I cannot edit the PDF with Designer out of Publisher. That's why I decided to go this route. Youre suggested workflow worked inthe past and I would usually do it like that. Maybe I should update all three software packages, but I try to avoid that during a big project. Fortunately this project is done now
  6. Hey Gary, the file is very complicated, with a lot of dependencies, I don't know if I can brake that down to a somewhat working example. So this is the worfklow: I create vector maps in QGIS (Open Source GIS software) and export them into vector PDFs. Than I open these Vector PDFs in Designer and edit/style them. Once the styling is done I create a Publisher file and make a picture frame where the map will go and load the .afdesign file into this picture frame. Usually this works like a charm but this time I got the problems mentioned above. And you are right, the geometry seems to be broken at those grey lines, but when it's exported with rounded edges it looks fine.
  7. Ok, that's a bit emberassing, but restarting my machine fixed the problem. The exports are fine now. I've never encountered problems in affinity that could be solved by a simple restart. Next time this is the first thing to try Thanks!
  8. Hey, when I export a layout in Publisher (Some of the stuff there is made with Designer and imported into Publisher) the style of some lines in the project change: Left is the exported PDF, right the original line style in Publisher. What am I doing wrong?
  9. I have several png QR codes (set to only K) in my layout and they are really crisp no matter the zoom in affinity(2.4). As soon as I export the layout to CMYK they get washed out in the exported PDF. I am clueless what to do, as I really don't have the time to replace every QRc with a SVG version. Any tips? Is this a bug, because I remember png QR codes always were easy to migrate to cmyk with the k only option.
  10. You guys are amazing. Thanks a lot. I love this software and that there is always a workaround.
  11. Tahnks this looks really ineresting! Unfoirtunately I am not quite sure how to add the mask.
  12. A good question. Has a line even left/right/top/bottom? I mean the line only has a certain width and I want to snap an other line to its contour edges.
  13. I am diggin out this thread because I am recently looking for a way to snap linesto other lines just like @thomaso wonderfully explained in the quoted post. Is it possible to snap the lines not directly on the other lines but next to it so they are not eoverlapping?
