I am trying to export a .SVG or .PDF of a Grease Pencil object generated with Geometry Nodes, but I have run into a problem.

Here is the situation:

  • I start with a curve and use Geometry Nodes to modify it.
  • That curve is then converted into a Grease Pencil object.
  • However, Blender still identifies the result as a “Curve” object instead of a true Grease Pencil object.
  • Because of this, I cannot export it as a .SVG or .PDF file; the export options do not recognise it.

Additional issues:

  • Applying the Geometry Nodes modifier prompts a conversion (e.g. to Mesh or GP object). However, when I do that, the Grease Pencil data (fill colour, stroke, etc.) is lost.
  • I understand that I could start directly with a Grease Pencil object, but I specifically want to control the Grease Pencil fill using a curve that is why I am using Geometry Nodes in the first place.

Question:

How can I properly export a Geometry Nodes-generated Grease Pencil object (originally from a curve) as a .SVG or .PDF without losing its visual data?

I have attached a .blend file for anyone who wants to take a look or attempt a solution.

Thank you in advance!
