DWC Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I created a layered design in Designer. When exporting it as a pdf the stroke on an image on the top layer IS NOT knocking out the image on a lower layer. The fill on the top layer DOES knock out the image on the lower layer, it's just the stroke that does not get knocked out. Everything looks fine when viewed in Designer. Any ideas what's going on?

DWC Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Let me clarify the " Everything looks fine when viewed in Designer." In Designer the file looks fine. The pdf does not... and when I open the pdf in Designer, the stroke is gone. So it appears that when I export the file as a pdf the stroke gets eliminated.

firstdefence Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Welcome to the forum @DWC By “knocking out” do you mean erasing, basically making the stroke area transparent or just masking out like black over white What export settings are you using when exporting to PDF Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

DWC Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks for responding firstdefense. I worked around the problem that day, but now I can't remember what it was. I didn't find your response in my mail until today, but I did want to thank you for your prompt response, and your willingness to help me.
