@epauza, welcome to the forums...

I assume you are referring to the photo at the top of the page which appears to have had its left and right edges cloned quite obviously...Are you able to upload the source Affinity file so we can see how it has been set up?

Thank you for fast reply.
This is screenshot of esported file.
Original file is in atachment

I was just adding more space for bleed. They will be cuttof after printg, so they wont be visible. But to avoid exported lines i will need to cut of more af the flyer and loosing its format

Is there any particular reason why you are creating the artwork in Affinity Photo rather than Affinity Designer?

Are the lines you're referring to the grey lines running down the left and right side of your screenshot?

Unfortunately im provided only with document made in Canva.
Element standing too close to trim line is one of the issues. Several months ago metod i was using was ok, but few weeks ago I started to have problems with exporting to pdf.  Affinity photo 1. and now in 2.
I'm more usd to to AF than publihser.
And it is easier to do that than to work with file without bleed.

I xpoerted file in png. It have similar problem,.
it seems that Affinity recognise that as border of the file

I assume you can go into Canvas and edit the file and better position objects on the page?

If you offset the file by -3mm in both the X and Y axes on an A5 document and then export the file without either with or without the bleed does that give you what you need, e.g., as per the attached pdf files?

I manage to solve by making new layer, painging it white and blending it

Try exporting the Canva document as a PSD file with Layers and then opening it in Affinity Designer (if you have it) or Affinity Photo if you don't. This will (should) then allow you to reposition items on the page so they're not so close to the crop.

It should also highlight what is causing the lines you are seeing. I suspect it is a poorly cropped image. If this is the case you could easily correct that in Affinity Photo.

If you can export as a Layered PSD file from Canva, feel free to upload it and we can take a look at how to correct the file to eliminate the lines you are seeing on the PDF export.

I found similar post from other user

I had the same issue and figured out the solution. The solution is to put a white rectangle behind all the graphics. Just specifying that the artboard's background color is white, does not work and produces these infinitely thin gray artifact lines around objects.

The suggestion to not rasterize is irrelevant. There could be many reasons to rasterize, and as there is an option for it on the PDF export menu, it should work. My reason was that some overlayed graphics did not get rasterized correctly in the printer. I had an orange rectangle partly behind a completely opaque black rectangle. In the vector PDF, it was fine, but in print, the orange rectangle was visible from behind the black one. Another reason is that if you have some big vector files, the printer (or even the PDF reader) might not be able to load all the layers. I have had issues, where some vector layers do not load or are shown incorrectly in the PDF when the files get too big.

I had to rasterize my images to a full frame rectangle beyond the edges of the document. When I did a rectangle that only covered the stupid lines on the image, the rectangle gave me the lines too! A frickin' vector rectangle...Rasterized them together, same thing. This would be the ultimate nightmare if I was doing more complicated drawings that needed to be exported via pdf and viewed digitally (adobe acrobat). I can't imagine trying to deal with this when the document has overlapping images with different colors and text. This was frustrating enough already. It seems like something that shouldn't be a problem at all, but what do I know about the back end of it.

Are you able to ask your client if they can export the Canva artwork as a layered PSD file as that would give you so much more flexibility with the layout...

In reference to the post you've linked to, PDF's are transparent by default, so will export as such unless you add a solid background to the artwork but the only reason I can think you are seeing the lines is down to poorly created Canva artwork, however without access to the source artwork it's difficult to tell what is causing the lines but as mentioned above, based on your screengrab showing the grey lines it looks as though the photo used at the top of the artwork has been poorly cut out and what you are actually seeing is the edges of the photo which would be simple to remove in Affinity Photo...
