passl Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) So i am using the export function with the basic options to try and export a file i created in Affinity Publisher 2, however gray squares i created as a background are exported with a distinctly green tint for some reason, i dont really know how to mitigate that problem. I attached the files showing the difference (AR how it should be BF how it turns out). I attached how the export window looks as well as the print window. Furthermore i noticed that when i import a PDF with perfectly visible lines, they become borderline invisible in AF and also after exporting. I also attached pictures to show you Also i am sorry for my bad english it is not my native language, i hope someone can help me with this issue. I will provide any further information needed Edited June 10 by passl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't happen when you Open the PDF file in Affinity applications, though. If the lines really are thin, they'll stay thin. You might check your PDF viewer, and if it has that option try turning it off so you see the actual line thickness for comparison with what you see in your Affinity application.

It doesnt seem to be the case, i am using Firefox for example and cant find such an option, also when i export the PDF from Publisher again, the lines are just as thin as in Publisher in the same viewer (firefox in this case) while the original PDF is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Do you have Acrobat Reader app installed? While Firefox does have the Acrobat Reader built in, my personal opinion is, it's not as good as the downloaded app. Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.
