The Patterns I Added Are Not Showing Up in My Exported PDF

If your patterns are missing from your exported planner, don’t worry — this is a common issue that’s easy to fix once you understand why it happens.


Why This Happens #

When you export a planner, Planify Pro quickly processes every page to send stickers, patterns, fonts, and layouts to the PDF generator.
If your project has a lot of pages, assets, or a slower connection/device, the system may run too fast, not giving enough time for some patterns to fully load before exporting.
As a result, certain patterns might not appear in your final PDF file, even though they were correctly set inside the project.


How to Fix Missing Patterns #

  1. Sync Before Exporting:

    • Go to Save/Export.

    • Click Sync all pages before export.

    • Always choose Slow Sync for best results (this gives the system enough time to fully load all assets).

  2. Manually Refresh Thumbnails:

    • Open the Multiple Page Menu.

    • Enable Show Previews to load all page thumbnails.

    • Carefully scroll through all the thumbnails:

      • Check if the pattern appears in the small preview.

      • If a pattern is missing

      • from a thumbnail, it will also be missing in the export.

    • Fix it by clicking on the affected thumbnail to fully open that page.

    • Wait for the page to completely load the pattern.

    • Then move on to check the next page.

📌 Important: Whatever appears in the thumbnail preview will also appear in the exported PDF!

  1. Export Again:

    • After refreshing all problem pages, re-export your planner.

    • Now, the patterns should appear correctly.
