PDF export has pixel artifacts with vector files.

[nucleardirk]

The following issue, I'm not sure if it's MY mistake or a bug in Affinity Publisher:

I have a logo consisting of an SVG vector file. I modified it as a vector in Affinity Designer. Now I embed this file in an Affinity Publisher document. (For testing purposes, I also created a link instead of embedding it) - when I look at the document in Publisher, I don't see any staircases or artifacts. In addition, I put a font under the logo. If I now export the whole thing with the PRINT-READY Pdf Preset, I get a PDF in which the font under the logo is razor sharp, but the logo itself looks very pixelated - like a bitmap! A mistake in the publisher? Or user error?

Here are the files so you can take a look, along with the resulting PDFs.test_vector_pixel_verknuepft.afpub

Thank you very much!

i wasn‘t aware of that issue!

But: why can I export „my“ Designer File (with the FX) from Designer to PDF without getting a rasterized result?

looks

like this takes only place when exporting to PDF from Publisher when embedding such file. 
 

So it kind of both, my fault and a publishers bug?

Here are the files, sorry I forgot to upload. This is designer File and the result when exported by designer instead of publisher

Your PDF file consists of an Image layer. So it is rasterized. There are no vector objects in it.
