LaraJ Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hi, I've created this shape and applied a gradient to it. The problem is that when I save it to PDF (digital) both small and high quality, the gradient loses quality. How am I supposed to save the PDF so the gradient remains as smooth as the afpub? I'm attaching images (the PDF has 3 brighter stripes which totally destroy the effect). As far as I can tell, the brighter stripes are where the mid points are (35% and 65%). If I move the mid points to 50% the right and left brighter stripes don't show in PDF anymore, but the effect of the gradient is totally different, which is not the desired result. Any ideas how to obtain smooth gradients when exported to PDF while keeping the mid points at 35% and 65%? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted September 29, 2021 Staff Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hi @LaraJ, When you go to File>Export>PDF can you try clicking on More and where you have the Rasterise option, set that to Everything and then export again. How does the PDF look now? If still having issues, can you attach your afpub file and i'll help further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaraJ Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 @stokerg If I rasterise everything, the PDF looks really blurry, including the text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 You can rasterize per object in the Layers panel. So text stays as vector data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
