Polina_Uzunova Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Hi all! I'm using Affinity products for a long time, but I'm posting for a first time in the forums. Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I don't know how to handle it... There is my problem: I got a project with many components in it. I'm working in Publisher. For the main content I made a polygon shape, but I've decided to decorate the sides of it whit vector shapes which I put like a mask in the big polygon. And there comes the problem: when I try to export it in PDF there is a shadow from the decoration that isn't suppose to be visible and a part of the small polygons. I've try to rasterise it but the quality becomes too bad. The first picture is how it has to be, the 2-nd is with the problem (with the arrows). Any ideas how to fix it and what may be the problem (I guess the vectors but I don't know why)? Thanks in advance.

Old Bruce Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 There is a fill knocks out Shadow check box, does that have any effect?

Polina_Uzunova Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Not exactly Even when I turned off the shadow at all, and there are still some parts of the small polygons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You may have to render as pixels that part of the document and then use just that for the shadow effect to become proper.

Polina_Uzunova Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 There is no shadow on the small blue polygons, just 3D (If I got it right), the shadow is on the big yellow one. I've try to rasterise the blue polygons but it has an awful effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
