Mr Sinister Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hi. Have finally finished my 1st work using AD2 (Beta). It’s been fun / frustrating / an experience in learning. Am now having to export it, so I can send it off to the print people. When I export to jpeg all seems well. However, when exporting to PDF I get these random / isolated areas where the vectors have gone crazy. 98% of the image is fine, which makes these errors more baffling. I’m not knowledgeable / confident enough to mess with the settings. Any pointers as to what might be happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 A screenshot of the original, and what you're seeing in the PDF, might be useful. What OS do you use? Can you share the .afdesign file with us?

Mr Sinister Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sorry, I was in a rush, and only partially copied / pasted. I'm using macOS 12.6.8. MacBook Pro 16GB RAM. Apple M1 Pro. Have attached 3 screenshots of instances where it's gone a bit weird. There may be others. These are from a PDF export. The jpg export looks fine. Have also attached the latest version of the AD2 (Beta) file, so you can compare the before / after. Cheers, Mark.

Staff EmT Posted August 15, 2023 Staff Share Posted August 15, 2023 Hi @Mr Sinister There is a known issue around strokes with pressure being expanded incorrectly on export or when using Expand Stroke. I have passed along your example to the devs. If you make a small change to the pressure graph and move the top node down slightly this does seem to be a current workaround to stop it occuring. I've made this slight change to the problem curves in the Tomatoes, Vegetable Man and Hill Climber 4 groups in your document to demonstrate this. modified Pink Floyd Part 1 V7.afdesign Mr Sinister 1 Quote I am currently Out of Office, please tag @Affinity Info Bot in your replies for another member of QA to see.
