PDF export ignores Live-Filters

[M1000]

Imported this Affinity Photo file

 

into Affinity Publisher

 

resulting in this PDF Export

same with other vector-based formats like .eps. Export works fine with .tif for example.

BTW it has nothing to do with the text layer, same happens with images.

What are your export settings for pdf?

Do you have rasterise: unsupported properties turned on in advanced export settings?

[M1000]

It doesn't matter whether rasterise: unsupported properties is on or off. And as I wrote, it happens with other vector-based formats like .eps. too.
Publisher should simply flatten the image during export but ignores the Live-Filter Layer in the linked Photo file.

You can try yourself, I attached the files.

Yes, you are right. Although the Curves adjustment seems to work; the Gaussian Blur Live-Filter is just ignored, when exporting PDF.
I tried a Twirl-Live-Filter this is also ignored, when exported in PDF even flattened.

This also applies for Affinity Photo.

I too have an issue with 'Live Filters'. Some of filters(Voronoi, blurs etc) are being completely ingnored as mentioned above, when printing/exporting pdf on all three - AFPhoto, AFPublisher & AFDesigner.

Yes a lot of wired things happen when exporting to PDF. Live filters don't get exported and bleeds don't get exported or are offset to a different position.
