Problems with HW acceleration on MacOS Sequoia while PDF-X export

[affinota]

Hi,

I have double paged document with some pages with the image covering the whole area (and the bleed among the double page).

If I export all pages (not the layout page) with the bleed, I get extentions on the right and left side of the pages which belongs together as it seems. This is a good thing, BUT I get also very strange extentions on the upper side of some pages with full side image. Hope somebody understands me

Cheers

it's hard to reproduce it, because it's not always the same

On the first image, the yellow field has nothing above it on the page, I have no idea, why this area appears.

On the second image the export just destroys text for some reason. I can not see any reason for that in the document.

export as PDF-X4 on MacOS Sequoia 15.1 / M1 Max

If I choose PDF-X3 or PDF-X1, the result is also kind of damaged

 

as it seems PDF 2.0 or 1.7 (I suppose also lower) gives me a clean result!

 

So, I suppose there are some problems with PDF-X export, maybe just on Sequoia?

This reminds me visually to artefacts caused in Affinity by hardware acceleration. You could try an export with APubs's hardware acceleration deactivated – although the issue appears to you only in exports as PDF/X.

YES!! It seems to be an issue with hardware acceleration. I disabled it and run just with OpenGL and the issue's gone.

So the MacOS Sequoia makes some problems for the Affinity
