sdrum Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just had a problem I didn't have before when exporting to PDF. I did a coloring book and on the PDF export, there was a thin line around all the images.These are the lines you see when laying images but they are not supposed to show on the PDF and they never did it before. I believe I solved the problem by checking "Preview" but I shouldn't have needed to do that. Windows 10 Home, Acer R572 and Lenovo Yoga 720, 16 GB.

Joachim_L Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Without seeing the PDF hardly to solve, but I would guess these are very, very thin lines? If this is so, it is a rendering problem of the PDF viewer, which can be solved in the PDF viewers preferences. Or upload the PDF here, so that we see what happend. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrum Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thank you for your reply, Joachim. Here are two extracted pages. I have done lots of PDF exports in Publisher and this is the first time that this problem occurred. I usually work in color so maybe a b&w document makes the issue more obvious. The lines you see around the images are the image's boundaries, not page guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim_L Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 What is your PDF viewer? ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrum Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I have Foxit Pro. However, the client I did the work for was the one who pointed it out to me and I confirmed it after opening on my PDF viewer. In Publisher, I checked Preview mode, which removes all the guidelines, etc. and exported the file. It was fine. I will try again on the latest beta (384) as the issue may have been fixed.

Joachim_L Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 As I thought, this is no error from Publisher, it is a rendering error in your PDF viewer. If smoothing images is disabled, the thin lines vanish. see image. Unfortunately I cannot tell you the correct setting, I have no Foxit Pro. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrum Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 I output the PDF using the 384 beta version and there were no lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hmmm, maybe a combination of both factors.

Aammppaa Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Totally distracted from the question by the fact that the missing letters all have two dashes?! T r _ _ d y T r u u d y? And why does "friends" have an apostrophe? And why doesn't the question end with a question mark?

Staff Gabe Posted June 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi all, Those lines are actual artefacts in the image - Perhaps you tried to erase the background and did not do it completely. Without seeing the project file, it's hard to tell what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
