design punch Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 Hi, I decribed this problem already in another entry (wrong topic in the pub beta forum) "AffPub 1.9.4.1076 (Beta) has degraded display of text style samples". Now I investigated a little bit more. Please refer to the attached .jpg. middle: A view on the finished product: A1 poster with hundreds of text frames, 3 placed tiff's, 1 placed logo (afdesign) and 7 placed afdesigns (No. 1-7). left: Difference in .pdf outcome - top V 1035 (ok) and - below V >1035 (1076, 1082 - text becomes worse) right: An outline of the poster structure If all placed afdesign's (No. 1-7) are NOT displayed, the text in the .pdf is ok, as before (like in V 1035). I even ONE afdesign is displayed (No. 1-7) the text in the .pdf becomes worse. The font I use is Myriad Pro, but I have the same problem with a chinese version, which is using Microsoft YaHei in addition. Looks like, it has nothing to do with font type. Please refer too to my description in the above mentioned topic, if the old .pdf version and the new one are opend in photo for a comparison, the newer version (> 1035) is showing a loss in sharpness as well. I have checked the afpub preferences (performance): They using the same adjustments. Additionally I updated the NVidia driver to he latest version - no change. If you need the files, please provide an link. Thanks

If it's with the beta and does not happen in the retail release then the beta forum is the correct place to report it, not the bugs forum.

design punch Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 Hi Walt, sh.t, its the second time i choosed the wrong forum ... sorry ... yes, it's belongs to beta 1076 and 1082 ... 1035 (where the problem don't appear) is the retail version Greetings
Staff Gabe Posted June 8, 2021 Staff Posted June 8, 2021 Hi @design punch, Can you package that project up and upload it on this link? https://www.dropbox.com/request/Cm5jrd4dgyaTNRhYKtxo
design punch Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 Hi Gabe, I uploaded the package and 2 reference .pdf's ..
Staff Gabe Posted June 9, 2021 Staff Posted June 9, 2021 What are your export settings for 1082? The "problem" is that the 1082 PDF is rasterised, whereas the 1035 one is not, and text is kept as text.
design punch Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Hi Gabe, 1. The .pdf's you got using both the same pre-adjustment: PRINT 2. I checked now again with pre adjustment PRINT READY, the problem is the same. In the preferences there is no difference between them (Rasterize: non assisted attributes). 3. Now I made another test with 1082, using PRINT READY, but changed Rasterize to NOTHING. Here now the problem is gone. What does that mean? Why do 1035 not rasterize anything, while >1035 does it? Is it by intention or do you consider it as bug?
Staff Gabe Posted June 10, 2021 Staff Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks. It's not intentional. I'll log this with our developers.
