josbin Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I stumbled across this weird bug, that if you have a Motion Blur Filter somehwere applied, the export to PDF reasterizes the whole document instead of just the relevant layers. Tested in Affinity Photo V2.2.1 on Windows 10. Here is the file to reproduce it. Export to any PDF format. I used PDF (digital - high quality) Affinity_PDFExport_FlatteningifMotionBlur.afphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_l Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Erm, everything inside your attached file is a raster image. No vectors at all. Quote ---------- Windows 10 / 11, Complete Suite Retail and Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josbin Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 Sorry, was a mistake. Now there should be a correct file attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the Motion Blur a child of the rectangle, then the complete text is vector otherwise it is only the part of the text that isn't "touched" by the blur fx.

I was able to reproduce this workaround. Thank you! But it is not really a passable solution if you have a group of objects. joe_l 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Frame Text layer is above the Motion Blur in the Layers panel, so it shouldn't be affected by it.

Otherwise impact of blur is clipped to parent shape.

GarryP Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I’ve just tried to export the OP’s document to PDF with the PDF Preset and overridden “Rasterise: Nothing” setting, and the text is still rasterised as can be seen in my attached screenshot (Acrobat Reader on Windows 10). I looks even worse at 1000% zoom (maximum) in Firefox and not quite as bad in Chrome at 500% zoom (maximum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
