Hi there! My name is David, thanks for listening!

Well, all I need is to export PDF of my logo, which is made of gradient curves:

What I got after exporting:

Can I get a full vector of these gradient curves exporting PDF X1a in Affinity Designer?

Please provide more info by clicking on the arrow to the left of one of the image layers too expand its children, so we can see what else you have there.

Hi @David Mudesto

Are you trying to export a certain object or the whole document to PDF?
Have you looked at the Export Persona? You can use that persona to export certain sections or individual objects.

Hi EmT! Thanks for the tip!

Actually I want to export the whole document, but for some reason, when I try to export to PDF or EPS the curves turn to PIXEL or something deformed (in EPS)

Well, I'll check that function later, it may be a good resource.

If you could screenshot your export settings then we can point you in the right direction. 
In the Export Window, if you select PDF then 'More' and you will see the setting 'Rasterise', it should be set to rasterise unsupported properties by default. Can you change this to 'Nothing' and see if this resolves your issue.
