Hey mate, thanks for the quick response. I gave it a try but your workaround didn't work out for me. Luckily i could finish my project by ignoring transperency, delivering white shapes instead. So i didn't need to use the stencil method. But actually it feels a bit buggy that this feature is not working right with embedded documents atm. Even if these are just pushed to the back they get pixelised without any reason. Hope Affinity will fix this soon...

Hej guys! i have an issue within this kind of topic. When i import a pdf containing vector files Designer handles them as 'embedded documents'. They are obviously processed as vector data as i can zoom wide into the canvas while keeping those thin lines sharp which i need for a very highres printjob. These lines are supposed to stencli transparent geometric art into given vector shapes. My problem is that the 'Substract' function (actually any boolean except 'Divide') is greyed out if i highlight two layers and one of them contains an 'embedded document'. Is this a known bug? I've also already tried your approach with layer blending mode 'Erase'. This is working as long it comes to the export process where the 'embedded document' content gets rasterized and looks extremely crappy in the resulting file. I'm going to export as *.pdf but also had many unlucky attempts with other formats like *.svg or *.eps. Can somebody help me with a nice workarround or something? Thanks in advance (: 1st picture is from the exported file, 2nd while working with the open project..
