Affinity Publisher Not Applying Motion Blur on PDF Export

Recommended Posts

Maybe there's some weird technical reason why it should be like this (maybe caused by the export settings?), but if you put a live filter motion blur on an image, then export the page as a PDF, the motion blur isn't applied to the image.

(Trying to upload a screenshot of how the image looks in Publiser but keep getting the error message "There was a problem processing the uploaded file. -200". No idea why.)

For now possibly you can live with the 1-click workaround: just rasterize the filtered layer (or a copy) to make its effect appear in a PDF exported from APub.

It is a known issue and has been recently confirmed to be still unsolved.
