mykee Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Dear developers, I made a cover, but after PDF export get a border to title, what I set to Soft Light mode. Here is this title in Publisher beta: And after PDF export: And on back cover too: I used these effects on Tiltle: It I turned off ALL effects, then border not shown, but I need all used effects (outer shadow and inner glow important). How can I solve this bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @mykee, I may be completely wrong but does it help to turn on 'Preserve alpha' in Gaussian Blur change anything? d. Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Sorry @dominik, not helped, border is there. If I turn off all effects, then will hide this border And next interesting thing: I have an older project, what exported without problem a few month ago, there is borders too now in PDF... Here is an example: On bottom text I used Gaussan blur at 0,1px , Outer shadow (opaxcity 100%, Radius 33,6 px, Offset 0), and layer opacity is 75%, but type is normal. 🙄.

You could turn off the effects one at a time and then do an export. That way you perhaps can find out which one of the effects causes the border. Also, did you try different PDF presets to see if this changes anything? d. Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Yes, I tried with Advanced settings too or higher PDF levels. Nothing helped. I need merge all layers with effects for leave borders, but this work is not elegance, and destructive.

Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/AU9bKdymfCEPLPgXGm7F Thanks, I uploaded two project files: older afphoto too (what opened with Publisher), and current project in afpub with PDF. I hope can resolve this problem for PDF export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least you have a working workaround until this get's sortet out. It seems to be a bug. d. mykee 1 Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Buell8abe Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi there Gabe and Co, I have an issue with exporting a flatteded PDF. There are artefacts (maybe a border or some other thing) around a rectangle shape and around a font character (please see pic., attached). This is a really simple layered graphic with no effects applied, I have double-checked that the Borders are set to transparent. You can just see a faint grey line along the top edge of the yellow rectangle, and an outline to the flower character of the font - which is white on a white background. I'm using the latest version of AP (1.8.4.687), on a Wacom Mobile Studio Pro running Windows 10 Pro. Please can you help? Many thanks in advance. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buell8abe Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi Mykee, no reply to my last post as yet, but perhaps it is being worked on right now? Me too - I need export of files without artefacts. I'm sure it will be fixed tho'! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
