I just tried the pdf export of a multipage document. When I open it in Reader or Acrobat I see a grid where the page is not covered (transparency grid?). It has nothing to do with the Reader feature - the grid is in the pdf (I can see it with Pitstop in wireframe mode). Can't find where to turn it off.
R u sure that u didn't exported that grid from CD with document? Does it shows on every page or only on few? Did u made grid on page (pagesize) when u were creating document (it would be on background if u did)? Some more info r needed...
Thanks for getting back to me. I now noticed in the elements docker that I cannot disable the printer symbol on the grid layer - that's why the grid gets exported. Otherwise all checkboxes in the menus are off and also no grid is visible (the eye icon in the docker works).

Clever :)
It is possible an older version allowed the grid to be turned on for printing (I can't say for sure, without spending some time looking at older versions), I'm not aware of any current way to edit that property for document grids. In any case, you can turn off the grid layer for printing by:
Now, in CorelDRAW, the layer should no longer be marked as printable

Interesting fix .. but very high level. It works indeed but I have to do it for each page - it doens't fix it globally.

Yes, high level. As I mentioned, this isn't supposed to happen, I imagine you won't have many files with this issue -- at least I hope.
A few .. but I can manage .. it would be nice to have a vba macro to fix this on all pages. Is this something you can put together in a few mins?

Actually the grid layer is a master layer, so you only need to set it once per document, it will apply to all pages (I should have realized this in my last post).
Public Sub MakeGridLayerNonPrintable() ActiveDocument.MasterPage.GridLayer.Printable = FalseEnd Sub
Hm... why I didn't think on that? Damn, I'm getting old...
Sweet .. that fixes it .. thanks!
i get this error
compile error : invalid in immediate pane . ok help
when i type Public Sub MakeGridLayerNonPrintable() ActiveDocument.MasterPage.GridLayer.Printable = False End Sub in immediate window.
Try to put the attached GridLayer.gms in
C:\Users\ <your user name> \AppData\Roaming\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6\Draw\GMS
and restart Draw.
It is Hendriks code in a GMS file and I've tested, it works fine here. The path is for Windows 7 (possibly the same on Vista).
wow :) thanks..:) how did you make this gms file using the code.? can you please explain it step by step?
