Printing / Exporting not reliable anymore

Recommended Posts

I tried to export a PDF - ready to be sent off to my print shop... I was lucky to have really, really carefully inspected the produced PDF, because it was full of errors. It looks like Affinity Designer 1.8.1 (App Store version) I can't really be trusted anymore. The file looks fine, but exporting or printing on my local laser printer is now often not reliable and produces strange glitches.

Not sure if this is related to the boolean operations bug - but it looks related to me...

I have attached a reduced file to show you the error

  1.  looks fine in Affinity
  2. print dialog already shows glitches
  3. pdf opened in PDF viewing app with glitches
  4. Affinity file with problems

Hi kusmi

This is indeed related to the boolean operations issue. The stroke on your object uses the Align Inner method, which is not supported by PDF. As it isn't supported we expand the stroke on export to retain the look, which is unfortunately getting affected by the boolean issue.

This has now been resolved in the beta available below.
