PDF Export shows different

[Beck]

Hey everyone!

For some weird reason, my PDF exports aren't showing correctly! 

My original design is in my AF file & JPEG that looks like this: 

You'll see in my PDF export some of the background elements are showing BLUE like this: 

 

This needs to be exported correctly for High Quality Print - so i usually export as PRESS READY. In this case, did not work. 

I've also tried different PDF Export options - Digital High Quality, For Print, For Export. All still show differently. 

Never really had this issue with Affinity 1.

Affinity 2 bug? 

Thanks!!

If you copy the mis-behaving layer into a new document and use "expand stroke", you see the same issue that the stroke color gets converted as fill color, but the inside/outside is buggy as the curve is self-overlapping.

This is a bug of expand stroke, and I think already reported. It becomes visible in the exported PDF as the combination of features (probably a pressure profile on the stroke, and/or layer FX) leads to Affinity apps expanding the stroke do to feature discrepancy between Affinity functionality and PDF.
