Some vector object missing on printouts and PDF export.


Recommended Posts

This is not a huge problem I can still get the work by rasterising it. But but this same thing happens on pdf's and I'd like to preserve the vectors for export instead of rasterising.

Is this a bug or it it something to do with the how I set up the AFdesign Doc?

Hi Tom D,

It's likely that some of the objects are unsupported by the PDF format and are therefore being rasterised / removed. If possible could you provide a copy of the file so I can try some things at my end?

Thanks

Hi Callum, thank you for your reply.

I have found a variation that's small enough to send on this forum.

I've included a screenshot of the problem with this file.

My problem with this is that it did work before the M1 update.

The missing elements were a problem when I started using affinity, but the last update before the M1 update sorted it, and I could print directly from the app ( I had been printing out by sharing with apple's photo app).

I am using the apple mac but not the latest M1.

Even if you're using a PC and it works for you,  this would be good to know

PS I'm not a city fan, this was for a friend who is, just in case you're a fan of another team.

I think I was right with my first assumption here. Some of the layerFX have to be rasterised in order to show on export so the only way to export your file and keep its appearance is to make sure you have rasterise unsupported properties ticked in the more export options.

Thanks Callum,

On PDF's I do check the rasterise unsupported properties on export and still get this issue. But what gets me is that I can't print directly from the app when the app displays the complete image on screen. On the printout preview it shows what's missing but there is no rasterise option on that panel. It has previously printed directly and created pdfs without this problem.

I have attached one of the pdfs it did before. This is not quite perfect but you can open it in designer and edit it. This is the difference between then and now.Isetta.afpackage.pdf

Unsupported FXs are rasterised but vectors without FX are intact.
