Affinity publisher 2 color and line weight problems when exporting

[passl]

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

For that, some PDF viewers have an option to enhance thin lines, which will make them appear thicker for better viewing. 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

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.

Yes i have it installed and the results are the same, it is definitly a problem with affinity publisher, i even sent the files to friends who told me the same thing is happening on their system

Hi Passl,

Would you be able to upload the Publisher file to the following DropBox link so I can try and replicate this here at my end?
