Error when export digital pdf with fill tool using bitmap.

[Ronaldo Hoch]

Hello guys.

I've created a  background in a master page with fill tool using a png image of a noise (ruido-pergaminho.png).

The real size: 

In the document editor, it was applied correctly, as shown below

But, when i export it to pdf, digital high quality, it doesn't fill the page, only shows the original png in the center of page.

I don't know if it's a bug or a miss configuration by me, can you help me?

Hi @Ronaldo Hochand Welcome to the Forums,

Could you attach your .afpub file for this?  I've not been able to replicate the issue on a new file here, so must be something in the file causing this.

Hello @stokerg, i've attached the file.

Manual-de-classes.afpub

Hi @Ronaldo Hoch,

Thanks for the file.

On looking into this further, this is actually a bug, which we already have logged with the Dev team.  Thankfully there is a simple fix to get it to export correctly.  If select the object with the bitmap fill and rotate the fill slightly, then export to PDF, it will export correctly.  Also explains why i couldn't replicate it, as i was rotating the fill i was using.

I've updated the report with a link back to this thread so we can update you when its been resolved

Or simply rasterise the Picture Frame.

I'm having the same problem (and, unfortunately, not with a design that can be rotated).  Even stranger, it's not consistent.  My entire document consists of pages that are patterned, all with fills made exactly the same way.  Some of them export exactly as they should, and some of them only export with the one original pattern-source square filled.  (Below are screenshots of two pages from the same document.)

I am still having this issue. Does anyone know if it was resolved, I am on the latest version and it is doing this exact same thing.

Was this bug not fixed??? As you can see in the attached images, the export is only exporting the original .png and not the bitmap fill. Any suggestions?

@stokerg you mention to rotate the fill... in this case, I can't rotate the fill and get the desired result; but in any case, how do you rotate the fill "after" you have set the fill. In Inkscape (I use both), I can easily click on the fill, and the "fill" adjustment nodes are there; in Affinity Designer, the adjustment nodes seem to be gone forever once I have clicked off of the bitmap fill. If I want to adjust the fill, I have to re-fill the area with the bitmap image. Is there a way to adjust the fill after?

Hi @stokerg Maybe this bug tag should be converted to the new system.
