AffDes v 1.10.5:AFD file exported as PDF shows strange triangles


Recommended Posts

I've never seen this before, maybe someone has an explanation ?

>>>>Please NOTE : there are 2 groups, these are arrows, originally they were arrowed lines that turned into separate trangles & lines upon exporting as PDF.
The red-lined part is the duplicate, I coloured it red for clarity's sake.
The circles point to 2 of the many triangles.<<<<<<

Here's the sequence:
1. Created A4 document on 1 half of an A4, then duplicated same and placed next to the first.
Documenty consists of lines, arrowed lines, a rectangle, and  text.
2. Exported to PDF for print, dpi 300.
3. Opened said PDF for editing.
4. Upon opening Layers panel noticed umpteen triangles, at the crossing point of lines.
5. Saved document with "save as" as afdesign file after opening as PDF , changed only the colour of the red triangle.

Can anyone tell me what these triangles are ? They seem to be "standalone", you can drag them away.

As always : all input highly appreciated.

Thanks,

C.L.

Took a while to figure this out. The triangles in the PDF are made from the triangles which are in the KVJ-scorekaart-1.afdesign file.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Bruce,

Changes to the doc were requested,so I re-drew the grid, and converted some of the text into curves (special reasons).

The sequence:

1. created the document & saved the doc in afdesign.format

2.Exported this to PDF format 300 dpi, RGB

3.Opened PDF

Lo & behold : there are the little triangles again.  
They seem to be at the crossing points of lines only, not the text curves and look to be "floating" above the lines themselves.
What's more : the layer names have not been "ported" to the PDF document.

Here are both docs, maybe you or someone else could make sense of what took place during the PDF conversion -I'm baffled-

=======It becomes really clear when you select one triangle,change its fill&stroke colour,then select through "select same".=====

Thanks,

C.L.

Turn off the Arrow heads in KVJ-score.afdesign.
