zebulon Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Opacity variance applied to vector brush stroke is not exporting properly to PDF. When applying transparency to the same stroke with transparency tool it is correct. Publisher 1.10.5 Same issue in Designer too.

Staff Lee_T Posted September 1, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hi Zebulon, Can i ask which PDF export preset you are using? I'm not able to reproduce the same issue myself with the "PDF for print" preset in either Designer or Publisher. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebulon Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 No matter which one I use... in "PDF for print" too Im using Mac OS 10.13.4 High Sierra. stroke-bug.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee_T Posted September 1, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 1, 2022 What method are you using to create this stroke? If I edit the stroke gradient, it's not showing as a gradient and only as a fill, once I edit it and create my own gradient it resolves the issue. Is it pasted from designer?

zebulon Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Its a stroke. I applied "pressure" curve to it and after that "opacity variance" based on pressure. (See screenshot in fist post). Its created in Publisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee_T Posted September 1, 2022 Staff Share Posted September 1, 2022 ah yes sorry my mistake, I see, this is a previously reported bug and should hopefully be resolved soon, the curves opacity is not supported in PDF but it should be rasterising. You can manually rasterise beforehand as a workaround. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Interestingly it also exports at the average width from the pressure curve.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is also in the existing bug report. Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
