I have to agree with neojogo. It's time for AD to output pdfs without rasterizing. Ive been in Illustrator since 1989, and AD's output capabilities are the only thing holding be back from using it full time. I recently did a 4" logo, with gradients and transparencies, and enlarged it to 48" for a meter board. Illustrator had no problem, but AF rasterized the darn thing. If I wanted it rasterized I would have built it in AP or Photoshop. There is no doubt Designer is great for web, but for print design – serious print design – it's a no-go – until they correct the output issue. Sorry.

Sorry, didn't see your previous post. 600-1200 wouldn't be of much help. I need images that I can enlarge on-the-fly and have it remain tack sharp; anywhere from 12 inches to over 1000 inches.

That's kind of shocking to hear... and unfortunate as well. Maybe it's something AD could look into for a future upgrade. I love AD; it has so many cutting-edge features.... I only wish it was more for print. Guess I'm back to Illustrator for the time being (big sigh) Thanks so much for your help, MEB, it's very much appreciated.

Thanks MEB – I tried exporting in all the vector formats and still get pixelation. Here are pdf and svg exports....

Hello, I design for print and need tack sharp images. I've been in Illustrator almost 40 years – since 1989 – but loves the new capabilities that AD offers. My issue is that when I export a vector image, it is always pixelated, no matter the export format, persona, ppi settings. When I duplicate the same design in either Illustrator or InDesign, they export crystal clear. These is simple vector art – but I want to take it one step further, which is why I love Designer. However, I'm finding it unusable because the exports are not suitable for print. Am I missing a simple step to crisper exports? Thank you in advance!
