angeleasel Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hi I'm having trouble exporting my warp group properly into PDF, it seems fine but then the PDF shows it deconstructed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It is not clear from what little you have posted what you mean by deconstructed. Can you provide more info about that, & perhaps a screenshot showing the Layers panel of the Affinity file?

Old Bruce Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Did you use the Warp feature on the little chevrons at the bottom? Try rendering them out to actual curves before exporting to PDF. Duplicate the layer and do the convert to curves then hide the original, then export.

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

Hi the layers look like this. it's originally flat but I used the warp group to give it a curve that aligns to the circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, the little chevrons are curves, on the pdf it shows the background image behind them though I took a small screen shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcrusco Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yes, I have this same problem. The problem is compounded if you have other effects (FX) applied as well. I just duplicated the layer and then rasterized to be quick. Hope they can fix this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, I believe, is because you are using a bitmap fill on your chevrons and raster fills are not currently supported when using a Vector Warp. The solution (assuming the above is the case) is to apply the Vector Warp to your vector only chevrons first, convert the warped vector chevrons to curves and then clip your texture as a nested layer to your chevrons. This will visually give you the same effect (the texture itself won't have any distortion applied but you could achieve that in other ways) and more importantly will then export correctly to PDF...
