vikingzero Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi, I am trying to export as curves some text and part of my styles contain decoration. I have desired effect on screen and in export if I rasterize the file, but in case I try to export as curves, as I am being asked for printing purposes, the PDF shows a completely different effect. What am I doing wrong? Publisher window: PDF Result: My export settings: My "decoration" uses 3 elements, I use the stroke as decoration 3 with some pressure adjustments as it was the only way I could figure to get the "chipped" box effect. Just as a note, if in export options I change "rasterize nothing" to "unsupported", then I achieve the result, but it's too pixelated for print. Hope there's a workaround out there for this!

loukash Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 There are some unresolved problems with complex stroke "pressure" profiles, see e.g. Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 By the way, to preview what will happen on export, you can always temporarily duplicate the object and convert it to curves.

vikingzero Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 hi, attaching a bit from my file. As I cut the majority of 310+ pages, some formatting might have gone wrong, but that header in question is still behaving the same way. 000 Headers.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted April 20, 2021 Staff Share Posted April 20, 2021 Many thanks for your file! As Lagarto has mentioned above, this is a known issue with strokes that have an 'extreme' pressure profile applied - I've used your document to update the development log regarding this issue and we hope to have it fixed in a future update. My apologies for any inconveniences caused in the meantime here! Quote Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.
