Unexpected rasterization?

[Taro B]

Complex part of my work rasterize when I export it in pdf for print.

 

It does look ok in Designer.

 

How can I get every part of my work crystal clear?

Hi Taro B,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

Are you using any adjustments, layer effects on your any of your layers? All these will force layer rasterisation on export.

A few Blend modes may also do it. Without seeing the file is difficult to guess what may be the cause. Do you mind uploading it so we can take a look?

I can provide you an upload link if you wish to keep the file private. Thanks.

Thanks guys! I turned some blend modes off and got a part restored.

Now there are only normal and passthrough, at least I think.

But still got two parts of the work getting rasterized without knowing why.

Maybe I turned too many things on and off

Well I've found that it's ok in the other artboard, this is weird.

Duplicate the exact same object from the ok-artboard to another one, then I get this "unsupported poroperties" and get rasterized.

Is it something to do with artboards? Items were turned into symbols also.

Now I can just duplicate the whole ok-artboard and export.

But still want to know why the other artboards has problem.

I messed the artboard too much maybe?

Something that can result in rasterisation is a stroke on a path in a vector mask object, and at least some of your vector masks do contain stroked paths.

 

 

 

Now THAT worked like a charm.

Thank you very much!
