psaldari Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If you add the "Publish as pdf..." like in DrawPlus, I am the most happy man in the world (and finally, I can replace totally Illustrator) Please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If you click File > Export you do get a PDF option there if that's what you are looking for? Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 At the moment Affinity can produce PDFs in two ways. The first is by File > Export as Chris says; the other is by File > Print and then selecting one of the PDF options. Both are pretty basic and don't allow as much control as DrawPlus does. We plan to provide a more comprehensive export in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichod Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 True vector export I hope? I ran some tests, and both SVG + PDF export out clipped shapes with rasterized gradients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 22, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi Nichod. Had you adjusted the gradient midpoints at all? SVG/PDF only support fairly basic gradients, so to make sure they look the same they will be rasterised. If they are simple, then they should be supported by the standards, and hence should remain as vectors in the output... I have just tried exporting a 3-colour gradient on an ellipse to SVG and it is definitely still all vector with a gradient :) Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psaldari Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hi, sorry for this delay, in this days I am busy... Thanks for all the reply, when I wrote "like in DrawPlus" I intend the PDF-X export option with all the professional printing needs, like cross marks etc. etc. Without this export option I am chained to Illustrator... (sigh...) Cheers Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted July 28, 2014 Staff Share Posted July 28, 2014 This will definitely happen - and hopefully it will be very soon :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
