Problems exporting: Different colors in export
Pbj replied to Pbj's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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. 💕 -
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?

Exporting Layout results in strange line style
Pbj replied to Pbj's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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. -

Pbj replied to Pbj's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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 -
Exporting Layout results in strange line style
Pbj replied to Pbj's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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. -

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! -

Pbj reacted to a post in a topic: Blurred QR codes in Publisher
-
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.

Mapping overlapping ways in a parallel manner
Pbj replied to Pbj's topic in Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
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. -

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? -
