Problem exporting PDF for printing

[Pedro Rolon]

In the previous version this did not happen to me when exporting as pdf (prepared to print) in version 2.6.2 it does not recognize some like this example that are flashes of light in vector and converts them into squares, the white shape that the flash has is already a png that is why it does not affect it as seen in the video what could be the cause?

Hi @Pedro Rolon,

We'd likely need to see the file to be able to determine the cause of the issue. Are you able to upload the Publisher document so we can take a look?

Ok, here it is

here to show the problem a little better

Hi @Pedro Rolon,

The issue is caused by the 'sparkles' which are effectively black squares with a central sparkle and an Add Blend Mode applied... If you turn off the background layer, you'll see the black squares...

The Add Blend mode isn't supported by CMYK, which is why you see the issue when selecting the PDF (press ready) preset. This preset defaults to CMYK, which is when the problem becomes visible. Changing the Colour Space to RGB using the same preset will also allow the blend mode to display correctly, since it is then interpreted using RGB, which the Add Blend Mode does support.

If you need to convert the file to CMYK on export, you will need to find an alternative approach to creating the sparkles, i.e., one that doesn't use a non-supported CMYK Blend Mode. The sparkles should be quite easy to create from scratch using the star shape tool set to 4 points with a radial gradient and some Gaussian blur applied...

If the print company will accept an RGB file, then you could let them do the conversion if it is being printed commercially, but ensure you see a proof before it's printed...

Hola@Pedro Rolón,

El problema se debe a los "destellos", que en realidad son cuadrados negros con un brillo central y un modo de fusión adicional aplicado... Si desactiva la capa de fondo, verá los cuadrados negros...

El modo Añadir fusión no es compatible con CMYK, por lo que se observa el problema al seleccionar el ajuste preestablecido PDF (prensa lista). Este ajuste preestablecido tiene CMYK por defecto, y es entonces cuando el problema se hace evidente. Cambiar el espacio de color a RGB con el mismo ajuste preestablecido también permitirá que el modo de fusión se muestre correctamente, ya que se interpreta con RGB, que sí es compatible con el modo Añadir fusión.

Necesitarás encontrar un enfoque alternativo para crear los destellos, es decir, uno que no utilice un modo de fusión CMYK no compatible. Los destellos deberían ser bastante fáciles de crear desde cero usando la herramienta de forma de estrella configurada en 4 puntos, un degradado radial y algo de desenfoque gaussiano.

Great, I'll keep that in mind, because something strange happened to me in other documents with this new version... I'll let you know if there's anything, thanks.
