grapher Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 usecase: stitching A4-like cuts for my wife on our A1 printer - i take PDF, drop in on the paper, select pages and copy them around and move precisely to match the borders. So far so good. then i want to export and all breaks. PNG/JPG previews Fine(1.JPG), when i hit export to PDF, transparent bg shows in export preview (2.JPG). When i export, i got same error as in test.pdf. Nomatter if its PDFs are embedded or linked. Plenty of RAM, plenty of disk space. Cannot publicly add the cut here because of copyrights, but if anyone contacts me from serif, i can send it privately for examination. Also, some times after export in version 2 the whole view f... up and i see only first pages of the PDF allaround as i never changed it to other pages with no possibility to step back. (in version 1 no problem. all exports fine and without problems) To be honest, i think the new export in PDF is somehow broken, i have problems with it all the time, in publisher it crashes often, when im exporting the book, here aswell problems.... test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4dimage Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Hi grapher, i am not sure if this may help. You say this works fine in v1. But maybe it is no ideal approach to place the cuts in different little artboards (?) and trying to export all artboards into one large pdf page? Maybe it would be better to choose a large document format right from the start that could be processed by the printer directly - in your case DIN A1. Then place the cuts 1:1 on the large document page and export this page to pdf? And of course, there seem to be several bugs with the pdf export as posted by other users.

grapher Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 imo this is not same problem - in my case there is problem not only in export, but also in placing PDFs into work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted December 9, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi @grapher, Could you provide me with your original .afdesign document which fails to stitch together on PDF export?

Export window looks same as i posted in my original post. Posted aswell the PDF i was stitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted December 12, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi @grapher, After exporting your file using the PDF (For Print) export preset on Mac and Windows, both have exported successfully to PDF without fragmenting in the final document. However, I had exported PDF documents Missing/Unlinked, since the re-link caused every placed instance of the stitch to duplicate to the same initial PDF Page (which would require me to go through every instance and update the page number). Could you confirm if the same happens if the linked resources are converted with embedded and also provide me with an embedded version of the document (same dropbox link)? Thanks!

grapher Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 i can confirm, that after embedding all instances resetted to page ONE. Cannot confirm successfull export via standard forprint preset (see the two PDFs, one with embedded, one with linked) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
