Exported PDF has partial image

When trying to export a diagram, the PDF output only has a part of the source diagram when being displayed in the Adobe desktop application. It looks alright when opening the PDF in the browser.

@N.S that doesn't sound like expected behavior. Since the PDF displays correctly in your browser but not in the Adobe desktop app, I'd first try:

  • Updating Adobe Acrobat/Reader to the latest version.
  • Opening the PDF in a different PDF viewer to see if the issue is specific to Adobe.
  • Re-exporting the diagram to rule out a one-time export issue.

If the problem persists and you have a paid Lucid account, I'd recommend opening a support ticket with Lucid Support so the team can investigate whether this is an actual bug and not Adobe-related.

@aparrish Thank you for responding swiftly! After I tested what you suggested, the problem indeed is Adobe-related, as other PDF viewers are able to display the exported output correctly.

FYI, updating Adobe did not solve the issue. I will need to further troubleshoot Adobe to find a solution. 

Thanks again!
