Erider Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi everybody, I'm facing a problem both with Affinity 1.7.1.404 and last Beta 1.7.2.445 with Windows 10 64bits . When I want to export an artboard with a bleed, it's filled with white and not with its content. I did some research on the forum without finding similar cases. A video is better than a long speech. Have you ever encountered this problem? Do you have a solution ? Thank you all ! Affinity Artboard Bleed Bug.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hi Erider, This is a known issue that is with development to be fixed. I'll get it bumped with your comments. Thanks for letting us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlayfield Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm struggling with this issue as well and it's probably the biggest speed bump I've hit with Affinity Designer since day one, given that I can't export commissioned print work to the required spec. I could write a longer post airing my frustration, but I don't want to clog up the forum with extraneous ranting. @Sean P Is there any way of knowing when a fix is likely to be implemented and released?

Erider Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I totally agree with you @simonlayfield ... I do not understand how the dev team could let such a huge bug pass ... The solution I use to work around the problem is to resize the document taking into account bleeds and place guides or lines but it requires to complicate life at time of export ... simonlayfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcandio Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'm having this exact problem on 2021-10-27 with version 1.10.3.1191. I literally made a demo file just now exactly identical to the one in the video and happened to search for it one more time here on the forums before making a new post. As far as I can tell, it's JUST the artboard that's causing the problem. NOT having an artboard allows me to export a document with a bleed properly. But as soon as any artboard is made in the document, the bleed comes out white. I've also found that if I create a new document without an artboard, I can copy the contents of an artboard into the new document and it'll work as expected, but additionally, since the content isn't cropped to an artboard, the background (and other elements) are actually shown on the canvas to overshoot the trim line and bleed. I've included an image of a design that shows the bleed behavior on the canvas with no artboard, then a bleed test document and export. bleed test.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcandio Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 For anyone having the same problem, another approach that doesn't require creating as many documents would just be to create a new layer for each design, assuming all your artboards are the same size and bleed. Then just toggle them on and off as needed. Nowhere near as efficient as multiple artboards and the export persona, but at least lets you share styles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
