Hello, I encountered a strange bug when designing labels for work.
The label I designed is shown in CorelDRAW perfectly normal, but when I turn the page it is on into a PDF-document for my coworkers to use, the label is suddenly suffering an odd distortion. What could cause this?
(Sorry about the cursor) on the left is what Corel shows me, on the right is how this part looks in the resulting PDF. We speculated at work that some kind of invisible paragraph formatting may be confusing Corel when creating the PDF, but the (graphical) curved text itself claims that's actually impossible -the options are all greyed out anyway.
How can I solve this, besides starting from scratch and hoping this bug won't show up again?
Guess text on paths may be a little tricky to translate to PDF format with 100% accuracy.The best way to work around it would probably be to save your work, convert all text to curves and make sure everything looks correct, then export/publish to PDF.Remember that converting to curves is an irreversible action so if you want to be able to edit text later, save before you convert.
Thank you for your answer, I tried this out immediately. Sadly, it didn't work: Corel simply removed the curvature from the text when I selected the text and chose "convert to curves".
Quite ironically, really. A command to make curves is instead removing them.

Strange.Do you mind sharing your file, or at least the parts where this problem occurs?Upload here (must zip the cdr first) or to some file sharing site.
