I've just purchased all of the Affinity package and wrote up a 10 page report that's due in today, only to discover that the exported PDF files won't print any colour or images. They print fine straight from the program and from Preview (I'm on a Mac); but, that doesn't help me much in a world of PC's. I've tried PDF for export and for print and flattened with the same results. Affinity can't expect the whole world to have their programs, so what gives?

Hi Tbmunn,

if you make a basic file in Affinity for example a QuickShape on a page then export it to PDF and print does it appear black?

Thanks

Callum

Sorry. Let me be more precise. Anything printed directly from AffinityDesign comes out fine. Same thing with a pdf file on Preview on my Mac. But, I can't get anything to comet right on Adobe Reader.

 Everything black. Shapes, images, text. A photo is completely overexposed- just a black box.

 

 

It might help if you would provide a sample .afphoto or .afdesign file, and the PDF you exported from it that demonstrates the problem.

Your PDF views fine (Acrobat Reader) and prints fine on my Windows PC.
