Unwanted boxes around images exporting from Affinity Publisher

[layjm14]

Hi,

I use Affinity Publisher v2 for Windows and I've noticed sometimes that when I export my files (as a for print PDF) there are borders around a few images that I have used, and also around where I have edited images. In this file, for example, where I have used the marquee tool to remove parts of the image, the cut line remains in the export. Can someone help me figure out how to remove these unwanted lines? I'm referring to page 3 of my affinity file specifically, and I will also attach a PDF version so you can see how it exports.

Thanks in advance for your help,

James

I am not seeing any borders around any of the images on the PDF. Unless you mean the one here on The Point.

Hi there,

That is strange. On the affinity file I do not see it, however when I export it as a PDF they appear. I will attach another example of what I mean...

I am using Apple's Preview to view the PDF.

@layjm14The only time I see the lines in the PDF is if I view the PDF you uploaded. If I export your file to PDF, I'm not seeing the same lines, see the attached screenshot of your file open in Publisher and the PDF in Acrobat Reader. When exporting are you changing any of the default preset settings?

If you open the attached PDF file, do you still see the lines?

Hi @layjm14,
Please try the following (despite the white rectangle's strokes have no width): set the stroke color of the white rectangles to None (currently is set to blue) and try to export again. Does it fix the issue for you?
