Bond Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hey folks, I have a glow in a design that sits over top of a few other items with transparency. Everything looks great on screen, but after export, I get some weird banding issues when viewing the PDF in either Preview or Acrobat. I’ve tried setting the blend mode of the glow to everything from Overlay, to Screen, to Normal, but I’m still getting the same result. Is there a fix for this? I’d really rather not remove the glow for print. Attachment for reference. EDIT: To add to the complexity, I was just reviewing some older versions of this same file, and the PDFs were rendering fine when they were not in artboards, but in separate files and in Designer 1.4.1.

Muscolino Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm having major issues with this as well. Discovered any solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi Bond, What PDF preset are you using when exporting the file? I have found a few issues but not exactly the problem displayed in your screenshot. Can you please upload the afdesign file (not a screenshot) so we can take a closer look? Thanks.

jschor Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I have the same kind of problems when applying a outer shadow. PDF to print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
