Adobe Fresco iPad – PDF Export Distorts Text

I am experiencing a serious export problem in Adobe Fresco on iPad.

My text looks completely correct within my Fresco documents. However, when I export the document as a PDF, the text becomes distorted.

I have tested multiple documents, including older Fresco files that previously exported correctly. Both my old and newly created files now experience the same problem, which makes me believe this may be related to a recent Fresco update or change to the PDF export process.

I have also tested other export formats:

  • JPEG: text appears correct.

  • PNG: text/artwork becomes blurry, even when using the highest available resolution.

  • PSD: the exported file is also blurry.

  • PDF: artwork may be present, but the text becomes distorted.

  • Changing the font does not resolve the PDF distortion.

The same Fresco files did not have this problem previously.

Could the Fresco team please investigate whether there is currently a PDF export/rendering bug? I would also like to know whether there is a way to install or test an earlier version of Fresco on iPad to determine whether the previous version exports these files correctly.

     Hello @Mystical_think0bb6 


    I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind confirming the installed OS/Fresco version and sharing a sample PSD and the exported PDF file, along with screenshots, so we can investigate further?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
