vjsouza Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hello, guys at Serif. I have found the root of all problems with export to PDF. Please, open the attached file, export it to PDF, open the exported PDFs with Affinity Designer and verify the layers panel. Some (or all) gradient fill curves was rasterised. AD have a BUG. if a linear gradient have more than 2 colors, and if mid point is not exactly 50%. AD will rasterise it at export to PDF. Please, Serif guys. Correct it!

LCamachoDesign Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've already replied and explained what's happening in the other topic (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/35820-some-areas-will-be-rasterized-until-when/). Please ask a moderator to delete this topic so we can keep the discussion centralized in one place. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 And when it comes down to it, all these gradient types and their rasterizing has been reported and commented upon by Serif in the past. Btw. Conical gradients have no support in a pdf. Some applications rasterizes them to maintain both appearance and the processing it takes to print them, and some applications will create a bazillion individual triangular vector objects of a single color in order to keep them vector. The former method can slow down a rip considerably. LCamachoDesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekorps Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have a linear gradient that is getting rasterized and it only has two colours. Not good. How can I use this for print output? I can't send the printer a Affinity document! I tried the other formats and even EPS is rasterizing the gradient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
