Vincent L Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hello, in a group, I put text and two vector shapes. If on the group an effect is applied (drop shadow for example), on the pdf output, it's flattened. And even worse, on certain documents, it flattens everything on the page. This is a behavior that does not happen if you apply the effect to all the elements of the group and not the group itself. Is it a bug?

Staff Gabe Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi @Vincent L, Welcome to the forums. This is not a bug. some FX will always rasterize the layer or contents of the group, as PDFs have no concept of FX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent L Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 However, if the fx fx2PDF.afpubare on vector objects, the pdf is correct. Only the fx are rasterized. fx2PDF.pdf Fixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 21, 2020 This is because of the way groups function. I'm afraid, for now, there is no other workaround, apart from applying the FX on the layer itself and not on the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent L Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm hoping the team can find time to correct this. Fixx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
