Error exporting pdf with screen blend mode

[capellan2000]

Recently, I found an error while exporting a pdf file with screen blend mode. 

 

As you see in the example attached files, pdf file exported from 

Affinity Designer 2 does not shows the screen blend mode 

in the orange glow around the circle.

 

Expected behavior from AD2 should be to pop a warning stating that

blend modes produce unexpected results in exported pdf files. 

Exporting an image or a flattened pdf fix this error.

 

Could AD2 include an option to export as pdf/x-5?

Maybe this new pdf version could fix this problem.

This is not the cause of the issue reported above, however I'll be sure to add this as a requested improvement with our team for you now.

I hope this helps
