fabius_ Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi there! when exporting text with a gradual transparency to *.eps or *.pdf, the export fails and only exports blocks, no text. I tried converting the text to curves, having single text lines (not a big block), ..., but none works. Can someone tell me what's wrong? (using Designer 1.7.1) Thanks a lot! fabius_ original before export: after export to *.eps: it's rasterized and when going to "outline", only blocks are shown: and the image is rasterized (though it shouldn't be): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted July 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi fabius_, Welcome to the forums The EPS format does not support gradients or transparency, which is why this text is being rasterised on export. Could you please confirm how you have achieved this effect in Affinity? It may be that the methods you've used also aren't PDF compliant, hence the objects require rasterisation. If you could provide a copy of your Affinity file, or a screenshot showing the layers panel this will help - thanks in advance!

Staff Dan C Posted July 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2019 I wasn't aware of that Mike, thanks for letting me know!

fabius_ Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi @Dan C and @MikeW, thanks a lot for your super fast responses in this great forum - removing the transparencies totally solved the issue. I wasn't aware of that and the "issues" with Adobe formats. Have a great, creative week! Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
