Wow, that is a lot of work for such a simple operation. This surely cannot be the intention of the clipping action? Your solution seems to work, and i thank you for that so i can finish my project for my customer. Do not completely understand what you say about the peeking through and antialiased perimeter but for now thanks. But this must be some kind of bug, don't you think? I searched the forum and find this post: The guys of Affinity said it was a bug and they would look into it, but they probably didn't come to it.

Hi, Thanks for you help. What you suggest is the way i downloaded the image, then i wanted to give the mic a color and draw a white circle exactly the format of the blue circle with the transparent mic. When i exported it to pdf and eps a saw a thin white line around it. That is why i changed it and took the transparent mic out of the circle by removing some curves. I looks like a pretty basic operation to move a icon inside a circle??. I also exported all the other formats, png, jpg, gif, tiff etc and all these where fine. It only happens with eps, pdf and svg, so i think it is a vector problem?

Mmmm, enable precise clipping looked like it solved the problem. In Affinity it looks ok now and also an export to png is ok, but when i export to pdf en eps the problem is still there. This is the whole logo, first i only sent the 0 with mic.logo.eps logo.pdf

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

A want to fill a circle with an icon. So i drag the icon into the circle. The problem is that the filling is not exact. There is still a tiny line visable. I will attach the file. Does anyone know how i can solve this? test.afpub

Affinity Publisher (1.7.3) on mac OS 10.13.6 keeps crashing when i try to resize a column of a table inside a text frame. Clicking in the header on the separation of the columns gives the <-> and when a try to move that to make the column bigger or smaller immidiately the spinning ball appears and I end up forcing a quit (AP doesn't respond). menukaart-klein-kalfje.afpub

It seems ok now, pfff, totally miscalculated in the hurry. Thanks for the attention.

Oh my god, i feel very stupid now. Of course A0 is 840mm x 1198mm and not the size i used. I'll rescale and try again

I have created a A0 poster in AD. Size 8400mm x 11890 mm. Export to PDF (Print Press Ready/ 300dpi) takes for ages and finally generates a 157 mb file. On my mac a can see the file in preview. However when i send the file to the print shop when they open it they see a blank file. I tried to open the file in Photoshop myself and also could not open it and saw i file with now content. Exporting to jpg is not possible because of maximum dimensions of 65500 pixels. Trying to save to a tiff file does nothing after 15 minutes waiting. Please can you help me and tell me what to do to get this file printed?

Thanks Callum, i will try that.

Hi Callum, thanks for your reply. Can you tell me what i should do if i want to convert the text to curves but want the gradient as it was? Delete al the effects on the seperate elements and apply it on the group or something?

I set a gradient on a text (radial) and converted that text to curves. Affinity Designer changed the gradient after converting it to curves, it applies to gradient to each letter instead of the whole text. See attachments. Is this a bug or should i have doen this in another way? First pic without curves second with curves.

Ok, thanks guys, i think it's best to contact my printer company on this to make sure.

@mickrose: Thanks, i will look into that. But i have another example, i have a document of 98 x 48 cm and export to pdf in AD, the size is 541 kb, when i open the pdf in photoshop and export it to pdf again the file size is 5,4 MB. @ Lee D: yes i could I am not a professional, but is it possible that AD keeps it in some kind of vector pdf and the printercompany does not accept that? It makes me a bit afraid to use exported files from AD for printing.

A client of mine asked me for a 576 cm x 276 cm (68031 x 32598 px) banner for outside use. The printer wants a PDF/x-1a:2003 PDF file. So this is what i did: made a document in Affinity Designer in document set up of 576 x 276 cm / 300dpi / Print (Press-Ready) copy/past the logo (developed in Affinity Designer all vector) and put a text under it, that's it chose export preset PDF (for print) 300dpi (also stated nothing will be rasterised) the esitated file size was 481.58 kb so very small send it to printer and got it back that the file was way to small which i already was afraid of I had to export a eps of the whole thing and imported it in photoshop in a document with the sizes i wanted and exported it. What happened here and what did i do wrong?
