MacHolgi Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hello all, I designed a logo and used the outer shadow effect, Radius is set to 0 px. (see picture below) My expectation was, when exporting this to a PDF x4, that this shadow still is a vector element. When zooming in the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat, I can see that the effect was rasterized. In the PDF export preferenced, "Rasterize: Unsupported elements" is activated. Switching this option to "Rasterize: Nothing" will result in a PDF file without any shadow. Is there any way to keep effects as vector elements like in Adobe Illustrator? Thanks for your hints!

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi MacHolgi, Welcome to Affinity Forums All layer effects are raster based and scaled/transformed dynamically with the objects. On export they are rasterised according to the dpi specified in the Document Setup dialog, so there's no way to export them as vector elements.
