Return of a bug? Exporting bitmap fill to pdf.


Recommended Posts

I have posted this on the forum here, but thought I should report this issue.

I just downloaded the most recent version 2.3.1 and I can't get around this. Designer is only exporting the .png, not the tiled fill when a fill is set to bitmap. I have included 2 bitmap fill images; and you can see that they are both exporting to pdf with only the center, original .png, not the tiled fill. The other picture is exporting artboard 2 after rasterizing the rectangle on artboard 2, but I don't wanna export a rastered image, I wanna export to PDF as a vector. Help!🙏

This is a weird bug. Having said that I just want to point out that using the Bitmap Fill for the Gradient tool means (by definition) that the fill is a Bitmap, not Vector.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

@Old Bruce Good point; sure wish we could fill with vector shapes... anywho, the image had some vector layers I wanted to keep; but since this had to go to print yesterday, I had to export as "flattened" PDF and remove the vector layers. 

I hope Affinity can get this bug fixed. I do a lot of pattern prints.
