Oh well. It was fun whilst it lasted. As soon as you become a £100 a year subscription service (which you will), I'll just go back to Adobe.

Hi Walt, thanks for your reply. Apologies, I realise I'm not being clear. What I don't understand is, if I "DON"T Allow Advanced Features", why does the SVG embedded file render perfectly within the PDF - but the native vector graphics rasterise themselves? Especially as the SVG is exactly the same vector artwork. None of my other vector software, by default, rasterises its vectors on PDF export. Vectorstyler doesn't, Illustrator doesn't. Designer and Publisher do. I cannot actually get Illustrator to export the file with any rasterisation. I've tried... and it never rasterises the vectors.

Dear Affinity and fellow forum members I'm having issues exporting PDF vector artwork from Design and Publisher. I've attached example files to help explain. I've designed a "logo" in Designer (file:logo) that is all vector curves. It has a transparency fade within the design. When I export as a 'Digital - small file size' PDF from either Designer or Publisher, the areas featuring the transparency fade rasterise. This happens with all the PDF export options. If I export as SVG, nothing is rasterised. If I open the SVG in Adobe Illustrator and then save as a PDF, the resulting PDF has nothing rasterised. If I set up a Publisher document (file: Publisher logo) and then... Import/place the native Designer file, and also Copy and Paste from Designer into Publisher, the fades rasterise. If I place the original SVG or the Illustrator generated PDF, everything is fine and nothing is rasterised. (file: Publisher logo.PDF) This is a new issue to me. I asked a fellow designer on a different computer to replicate this and he has exactly the same problems - so it's not unique to my set-up. Any thoughts as to what the problem could be? I have a project where there are dozens of 3rd party logos plus graphics with fades etc and I don't want to have to save them individually, export them as SVG, eps or open and save from illustrator, and then re-import them. Pretty sure I didn't have this issue in v1. Many thanks Logo.afdesign Logo_Export_from_Designer.pdf Logo_Export_from_illustrator.pdf Logo.svg Publisher logo.afpub Publisher logo.pdf

Dear Affinity, this still hasn't been fixed. If I work on any of the three apps via my Apple Studio Display and then decide to work solely on the laptop, the Affinity apps STILL DO NOT RESIZE to fit the laptop screen. It's like trying to view an A3 sheet of paper through an A4 aperture. I have to try and grab a corner of the app window and shrink it - which isn't easy. I've attached 2 photographs showing this. Weirdly, if I take a screenshot of the oversized apps, the resulting screenshot is correct. So the screenshot is not showing what I'm actually seeing. Please fix this. It's pretty basic stuff. Many thanks Dougie

App Windows Not Resized to Fit Screen

I'm having this problem too. It is only happening with the Affinity suite. All my other apps are resizing without issue. -

This is what I meant. Thank you. Having used Illustrator for years I have a lot of 'muscle memory' and I couldn't figure out how to do something as simple as this. It would be nice if there was a key+click combination to select all the connected nodes (and paths). I had posted a couple of videos explaining what I was trying to do. I've edited that post and removed them as you have answered my question. Cheers.
