RobWu Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Hi all, Maybe I'm overlooking something simple here, but when I export to PDF my layer names are not copied over. I tried this in Illustrator, and it looks like it works there. or at least the Illustrator PDF honors the layer name. Is this a Designer thing? e.g. I have certain layers named to the appropriate PMS color, but in the PDF it's all called 'rectangle' for the colored placeholder in that layer. I tried every preset in the export option, but no luck. Tried v1 and v2 of Designer to see if that would make a difference. cheers! rob edit: Illustrator also keep my layer/sublayer order intact. Maybe this is something Adobe, but it's a bit annoying to see Affinity is throwing all in one 'pile'.

MikeTO Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Hi Rob, I can't speak for Serif, but as far as I know exporting to PDF with Include Layers selected will export the layers but not their names or their groups.

MikeTO Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Oh, layer names are preserved only for layers created with New Layer, not for shapes. Thanks!
