Paul Silvester Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It's a lot of time that I facing with the problem of pdf with dot lines. The problem is in Designer and in Publisher, and I how that in some future version you will fix it Look at the attachments, the dotted lines are interrupted with low thickness values and with high thickness value the first and last dots are incorrect. this image is what I see. and A_untitled.pdf is the pdf this is what I get the only version that works partially (the second and four lines have same problem) is Publisher 2.31 Only the rendering (rasterize all) solve the problem Thanks SO:Windows 11 CPU:12900k 32GB ram A_untitled.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff NathanC Posted April 2 Staff Share Posted April 2 Hi @Paul Silvester, Could you possibly provide us with the original .afpub file used and advise what PDF export preset/settings you used so we can see if it can be replicated? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Silvester Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Thanks for your attention, and sorry for delay, I've tried with 2 pc but same results. Now the only pdf preset that works is the flat one. Clearly the pdf flat have all elements rasterized. I've tried all other preset without luck, no way to have a good pdf. Bytheway the problem at the extreme points is an old issue. I use the 2.3.1 that avoid the line to be discontinued, but the extreme points problem still persist. If you need more details freely ask. Thanks untitled.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff NathanC Posted April 4 Staff Share Posted April 4 Thanks for providing your file Paul, looks like we do have this one logged with the devs so I'll bump the existing issue with your report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Silvester Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Thanks to R for the workaround, really thanks. Hi NathanC thanks for your attention, I suspect that is the way you translate the dotted lines to pdf, maybe the library you used in affinity (PDFlib+PDI) I think. Hi hope that in next release this you solved this issue. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
