Yes, I'm using Adobe Acrobat to view the pdf - that's the default. Does Affinity expect us to inconvenience clients by telling them to use something else to view pdf's - clients will just buy elsewhere. Anyone know when this bug will be fixed?

This is odder still. I gave the image behind the bunnies a shadow, now the shadow around the larger image is white - and the second bunny shadow is fine. Again - Only in the PDF export. All other exports and in AD2 it looks perfect. I can't imagine it would be "only the last image you apply a shadow" has an issue.

walt.farrell Thank you. That will work. GarryP You may want to consider a Snickers bar.

AD2/Windows11 I have an image that needs to go into my PDF. I have 2 bunny heads in that image. The first bunny, I put a shadow around it - everything is great. The second bunny, I do the same exact thing as the first but when I export to a PDF that shadow turns white. The image looks fine in AD2. If I export as a PNG - everything looks good. It's Only when I download it as a PDF and it's Only that 1 bunny head. I have a dozen other images in that PDF - the rest are all fine - it's just that 1. How do I fix it so it's a shadow and not a white shadow thing when it's exported as a PDF? Thank you.

AD2/Windows11 On the right of my screen there is a sidebar with a layers tab and a swatches tab and a strokes tab and so on - how do I get a Brightness/Contrast tab in that sidebar? Dragging it doesn't seem to work. Thank you

1. I spent an Hour going through Settings and Shortcuts, thinking I had hit something, but couldn't find anything. 2. I didn't know what it was called - so clearly my search brought no joy. 3. I did search Affinity Designer why did my Node Tool turn into a plus sign. I watched 10 videos - not one mentioned capslocks.

You're Brilliant! That was it. I was using Caps Locks for the text. I just tested it. When I turned on the Caps locks again it happened. That would have never occurred to me - Thank you!!

Thank you for your reply - Oddly it just changed back. I don't know what I did. If it happens again, I'll post some screenshots, but now it's working correctly again.

AD v.2/Windows/Up-to-date I was playing around with AD this morning and my Node Tool turned from the typical white arrow to a thing that looks like a +. I've rebooted, but when it comes back up, it's still a + and no longer a white arrow. Oddly, the pointer transform tool is now a white arrow - How do I switch them back, please?

Thank you!!

@anto Also, you mentioned "Vectorstyles" I Googled it but didn't find anything that looked like a converter. Do you have a link I could use? Thanks again.

@anto Thank you so much. I needed that hand for a project. It's perfect. Thanks again.

Can someone please see if you can open this file in AD and change it to an .afdesign file for me? (see below) It started as an .eps file, I converted it along with several others in Photo Pea. All the others opened with no issue, but this one just doesn't want to open. It doesn't give an error. It looks like it's going to open, but AD just reads "Loading 1 document", but it never opens. I left AD open all night, it didn't open. It does Not lock up AD or anything else. I'm able to work in AD while AD attempts to open the file, but it just never opens. It could possibly be a memory issue with my laptop or maybe a conflict with a different editing program, but I would like to try and see if the .afdesign version would open. Can anyone open it and maybe change it to an .afdesign file for me? Pretty Please? Thank you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XB-cHuD83of2L9TZ4lP5XxgxJsb-wqAm/view?usp=sharing

I tried ctrl+z to undo the redo, but it didn't undo all the lines. I finally just gave up. @G13RL, Wireframe - thank you. I didn't see an option for that, but I was kind of pissed at that point I may have just missed it.

How do you clear format when that stupid ctrl+Y happens? ctrl+Z doesn't undo it. And now I can't do anything because everything is lines and there is no color. I can't even recolor it. I don't understand WHY they changed ctrl+Y to this useless line thing. ctrl Y has always been redo and now my entire project is screwed up.
