gw_westdale Posted March 11, 2023 Posted March 11, 2023 Really weird. I thought that Designer (1714) was interacting with the printer driver of my HP LaserJetPro - and warped items were not warped when they arrived on the paper. I've tested a bit more - by doing a standard Windows 'Print To PDF' and the generated PDF also fails to warp. Designer Export to PDF on the other hand creates a PDF with the warp correctly formed and printable. Anyone else out there seeing this Windows behaviour? Any ideas? This is a 64bit m/c with solid state C drive ... clutching at straws to see if that changes the software release EDIT - and yes you can see the difference in size of the two PDFs EDIT 2 - the same occurs with XPS writer and PrintToSnagit EDIT3 - same occurs on my laptop with print to PDF WarpExportToFile.pdf WarpPrintToFile.afdesign warpPrintToFile.pdf printTOPDFLaptop.pdf Quote Win 11 PCs 64bit Envy and Envy tablet + Filter Forge Retired computer systems tester doing graphics for charities and politics etc.
Affinity-Inspiration Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 There's something about Print to PDF and Export to PDF in the respective mechanisms that I can't remember at the moment but I will try to find it. I know there's a difference and this difference may explain why it's doing this. I'm not sure if its the same gw_westdale 1 Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform. M2 Mac Mini. 24GB.

gw_westdale Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I'd also be pleased if someone with Win 11 Home 22H2 would just try the 3 tests on this file - print , print to PDF and export to PDF - I can't believe that my installation of Windows (up to date and with no special mods ) is different from everyone else's :-((( Quote Win 11 PCs 64bit Envy and Envy tablet + Filter Forge Retired computer systems tester doing graphics for charities and politics etc.
carl123 Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 I see the same as you, and it seems to be a known problem Convert the warp group to curves seems to be the best suggestion at the moment You can always undo that step after you print it gw_westdale 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

gw_westdale Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 I had thought this was only with complex things like text - but this is one simple rectangle Quote Win 11 PCs 64bit Envy and Envy tablet + Filter Forge Retired computer systems tester doing graphics for charities and politics etc.
