rvsf Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Why if I export a vector text with shadow, is the text also rasterised? In illustrator only the shadow is rasterised. illustrator.pdf affinity.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 As soon as you add an Effect to a layer, everything in that layer (including its child layers) will be rasterised upon export to any file type*. There’s no way to stop this from happening other than to redesign the document so that an Effect is not applied to the layer which you don’t want rasterised. In this case you can probably duplicate the text layer and only add the Shadow Effect to the lower copy. * You can stop this from happening by selecting “Rasterise : Nothing” upon export (if available) but that will cause the Effect to be lost.

Return Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 FX will always rasterize in the affinities. Duplicate the text and blur it to make your own shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
