DesignerJB Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Hello - I've been having trouble with exporting my documents / work using Affinity. At first it was just a single document that I thought was the problem, but now I am experiencing across several. I've attached the files specifically. Any help on fixes would be great. I've already 'reset' Designer to its factory user settings. JB Munich Futbol.afdesign Flag Concept.afdesign Quote
Joachim_L Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums @DesignerJB! What are the problems with your export? To which file format you want to export to? I exported the flag as PDF and cannot see a problem at first glance.

DesignerJB Posted May 11, 2021 Author Posted May 11, 2021 Anything. I try PNG, JPG, PDF...nothing moves Quote
Old Bruce Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Couple of questions; Does it need to be so large? 1.25 meters wide and 400 dpi seems like overkill. And the second question is Does it need to be in 32bit mode?

Staff MEB Posted May 11, 2021 Staff Posted May 11, 2021 Hi @DesignerJB, Your file is also exporting fine for me as PDF (270MB, Print preset). It takes a bit because the file is indeed large. Also there's really no need to work in 32 bit. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
