Howdy,

Are you talking about duplicating/exporting the original .tex file or the final pdf file? How did you typeset the file? Does it require shell escape to run since mpost has to be run?

Is there any way you can supply a minimal but compilable example so we can examine the behavior?

Good Luck,
