nucleardirk Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 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 test_vector_pixel.afpub test_vector_pixel_verknuepft.pdf test_vector_pixel.pdf test_vector_pixel_verknuepft.afpub TEST_LOGO_black.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucleardirk Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bruce Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Your PDF file consists of an Image layer. So it is rasterized. There are no vector objects in it. 59 minutes ago, nucleardirk said: This is designer File and the result when exported by designer instead of publisher Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
