<p dir="auto">Description</p>
<p dir="auto">When exporting a document to PDF using the default File → Export → PDF settings, the opacity of a stroked path is not preserved.</p>
<p dir="auto">The transparency of filled objects is exported correctly, but the connecting line segment (stroke) is rendered fully opaque.</p>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce</p>
<p dir="auto">Create a stroked path with opacity less than 100%.<br />
Include other objects (e.g., filled circles or an arrowhead) using the same opacity.<br />
Export using File → Export → PDF with the default settings.<br />
Open the exported PDF in Preview (or another PDF viewer).</p>
<p dir="auto">Expected Result</p>
<p dir="auto">All objects, including stroked paths, retain their assigned opacity.</p>
<p dir="auto">Actual Result</p>
<p dir="auto">Filled objects preserve their transparency correctly.<br />
The stroked line segment is rendered fully opaque.</p>
<p dir="auto">This suggests that stroke opacity is not being written correctly during PDF export, while fill opacity is preserved.</p>
<p dir="auto">Attachments</p>
<p dir="auto">Original VectorStyler document.<br />
Exported PDF.<br />
Screenshot of the original VectorStyler rendering showing the intended appearance.</p>
<p dir="auto">Notes</p>
<p dir="auto">Export performed using the default File → Export → PDF settings.<br />
The issue appears specific to the stroke; other transparent objects in the same document export correctly.<img src="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1784054499274-screenshot-2026-07-14-at-2.22.49-pm.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-14 at 2.22.49 PM.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /> <a href="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1784054504352-dest.pdf">Dest.pdf</a> <a href="/forum/assets/uploads/files/1784054510808-source.vstyler">Source.vstyler</a></p>
