Paul Mc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The layers appear as I would expect. Were you expecting something different? (I'm using yesterday's 1.9 release to test this). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiccardoMarchi Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi Paul Mc thank you for feedback. I just downloaded the prova.pdf file and opened it with designer. Attached you see the layers messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Mc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I see what you are saying. I think this is the importing of the PDF that is at fault and not the export which creates the PDF. Checking your PDF (I also created one from your source file too), it looks fine. When re-imported things look messed up. Also, which version are you using? Your PDF looks like this when re-imported: Mine (AD1.9 -> PDF export) looks like this: I'm pretty sure this is a bug so probably worth reporting. For info, 1.9 also shows this as the source file: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiccardoMarchi Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm using 1.9.0. I think i have to use a different software to check layers on exported pdf files, other then re-importing in Affinity Design, even if is weird, or bad, if you rely on pdf source files only... Thank you. If is a bug, i hope someone from development will read this topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctekk Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 it's weird - had exactly the same. Seems like an AD2/AD Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
