peterfri Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I noticed another problem: when I place a pdf with the mode transfer and then I use the vector cropping tool the exported pdf is badly pixelized. When I change the placed pdf to a picture frame and then use the cropping tool the full resolution is maintaining in the exported PDF. This is a strange behaviour. Could you please correct. Or as a suggestion: Generally create an option that all pictures (pdf, jpg etc.) when they are placed are placed directly into a picture frame.

There is a known / reported difference in exported image resolution between Picture Frame vs. Rectangle (incl. Vector Crop Tool). I am not aware of an explicit bug report for this unexpected behavior – but it was mentioned in the APub Beta mac forum for v.742: macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means the pdf that I had cropped directly after placing produces a very bad exported pdf file that lost all high resolution information. After placing at first you have to convert the pdf to a picture frame and then you can use the vector cropping tool without loosing quality in the exported PDF. Both screenshots I made in Acrobat, in Publisher you don‘t see the problem!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Once it is in a picture frame you shouldn't need to use the cropping tool. It appears that for some reason when you use the cropping tool without the frame it is forcing the rasterization of the placed PDF upon export. That might be a bug, or it might be a limitation produced due to some mechanism of the tool that Serif doesn't currently know how to represent accurately in the PDF format being used... Either way, if it is working in the frame, then I would not expect that behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
