Aaron Martin Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 File exported in export persona’s pdf (for export) rasterizes, this behavior differs with exporting pdf (for export) from action menu, and also differs with same process on desktop so should be a bug.

Staff Sean P Posted September 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi Aaron, Would you be able to attach a copy of the document this is affecting please? I've tried a very simple few objects and they remain vector, so I wonder if it is related to the way you have the objects set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted September 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hi Aaron, Thanks for the files and videos. I've found that the Export Persona and the Export option from the Document menu are giving me the same results, which was that Artboard 1 was completely rasterised. This was happening because you're using the Erase Blend mode which is not supported in the PDF format so has to rasterise everything. In your case just changing this to Normal will allow the objects to go out as vectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Martin Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I see. Wouldnt it make more sense if the software automatically subtract the top vector shape from the buttom vector shape when the top layer is set to erase blend mode while exporting?
