Jowday Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Goal: Pure vector output Scenario: A lot of objects with a regular gradient copy-pasted and individually distorted to simulate perspective (...) with the shear 'tool'. Issue: All gradients in distorted objects are transformed into a trapezoid gradient and they are all rasterized upon export to PDF/SVG. No go. Is this a bug or a non-implemented feature? If SVG/PDF does not support this can the gradient be converted into a regular gradient? In this example I could quickly myself: But more important - is this type of gradient not supported by PDF/SVG - and how does other programs handle sheared gradients and keep them as vector.

Just noticed a similar issue while exploring some experimental boundaries based on real life CMYK+spot print scenarios. ADe vector objects, CMYK, some transparency, 1 spot color set to overprint:transpdfexp19.afdesign PDF/X-3 export thereof, i.e. "industry standard":transpdfexp19.afdesign.pdf Exactly the same vector objects simply copied from ADe and pasted into AI CS5:transpdfexp19.ai And the PDF/X-3 export thereof:transpdfexp19.ai.pdf I'm depressed.
