StraightFromSpace Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Could You please explain me what happened? Original File (example) in attachment - and after export to PDF. Some crazy weird thing appear. I had serious trouble in work because of that. D. example.afdesign example.pdf Quote
Hangman Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 It looks as though there is a bug rendering the Gaussian Blur you have applied to the stethoscope when using the following pdf presets: PDF (Print) PDF (Press Ready) PDF X-4 I'm unsure the intended purpose for the graphic but if you wish to maintain the RGB colour profile of your source Designer document in the exported PDF using one of the Affinity PDF Presets then the following PDF Presets will work: PDF (Digital - high quality) PDF (Export) PDF (Flatten) Quote Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse
StraightFromSpace Posted November 15, 2022 Author Posted November 15, 2022 The color profile does not matter, I wanted to show a bug that occurs after exporting to PDF. I think it only occurs when we close the blur with the Blend option in a clipping mask. Quote
Hangman Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Indeed... It seems to be a bug when applying the blur to the group... if you apply the blur to the individual layers within the group (and remove it from the group itself) then it exports correctly.

StraightFromSpace Posted November 15, 2022 Author Posted November 15, 2022 Yup. Sending in attachment workaround - and when it happen test_2.afdesign test_2.pdf Hangman 1 Quote
loukash Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 This bug is already present in v1. I remember last year there was a thread with similar scenarios were we've posted a plethora of experiments and workarounds. If only I could find it… Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Sonoma > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 18 > Affinity v2
Hangman Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Interesting, I copy/pasted the graphic into V1 and all pdf variations exported correctly so there ‘appears’ to be a specific issue with the V2 exports… Not suggesting there isn’t an issue with V1 but having previously tested this in V1 I don’t recall it being quite the same issue though I could be wrong… Quote Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse

That's on MacOS Catalina, and I can only preview the PDF in Preview.app, because Acrobat X doesn't run on Catalina.

Staff stokerg Posted December 5, 2022 Staff Posted December 5, 2022 Hi @StraightFromSpace, We do have an issue logged with the Dev team to resolve where a Gaussian Blur isn't exported correctly to PDF. I've bumped the report with a link back to this thread so we can update you when its been resolved Quote
