I designed a book which is about 335 pages in CD X6 I have to convert it to rgb to cmyk before its given for print and for this I need to goto edit-->Find and Replace-->replace a color model or palette -->(click) next--> (radio button)find a color model---> (select) RGB ---> replace colors used as--->(radio button) Fills or outline and I have to go through this painful process for 2 times 1 for fills 2nd time for outlines for each page please help can't their be any automation process to convert all the document at once I have heard vb script or macros can do this automation process but I don't know where and what to write in corel draw to automate this RGB to CMYK conversion. somebody please help.
You may not need to do that at all.
How are you giving the book to the recipient? Will they accept a PDF ?
If they will, then you just do file > publish to PDF, making sure to go to settings > colour and choose the output colour as CMYK.
However, you should probably review with the recipient the colour management settings to be used when converting to CMYK as this will affect the appearance of the printed result. It is probably also desirable to get a colour proof from them showing of at least a few pages that are colour critical.
Thanks for the reply Mr Harry but I need to give the .cdr file as out put to the printer I will not be going to the print house I will just mail it so Just need to be very careful while giving for print. please try to find a way for this bro
If you are giving the CDR file to the printer, then the printer can create the CMYK PDF in exactly the same way as I just described. Or if they are printing direct from CorelDraw to the printer, they can use a similar setting in the print screen.
It may be that your printer doesn't really understand the facilities available in CorelDraw, but another possibility is that they are worried by the inherent colour change that will occur in colours that cannot accurately be reproduced in CMYK -- so they want you to see any colour changes before sending the job.
If you do want to convert the objects individually within the CDR file, it sounds like a job for a macro. But all the macros I know of concentrate on changing individual colours for another colour. I can't remember one which globally changes the colour model.
Perhaps one of the macro authors here has one ?
