In the new 2018 update: When publishing to PDF, the results do not include bitmap images. Acrobat displays an error message saying that an error exists on the page and that it will not display correctly. Any bitmap is not displayed. Another 2018 bug.
If I'm not having any issues then they may want to look at their settings. There have been no reported issues of this anywhere except here. If they inquire further I'll get into it however most times they figure it out and never post back so I'm not going to waste my time going through a long time consuming process.
I'm afraid other people are experiencing issues with 2018 exporting to PDF. Multi page documents aren't publishing properly, missing pages (thread to CDGS 2018, Big PDF problems) and an image I sent as a PDF to the sign printer a few days ago reversed the colours of 2 bitmaps - as if they were photo negatives. The settings and presets are identical to those I have in X8, which works perfectly.
As I said I'm not having any issues and I do sign work every day. Can you post the offending CorelDraw file for me to download and look at please?
You can use a drop box service or something, post a link here or send to davidmilisock@graphictechnology.com
Hi David. Thanks for replying.
It's not the file that problematic. When I save it to X8 and publish it to PDF from that version, it goes through without issue. Anything I create in and export from 2018 fails to publish properly - as I described in my last post, missing pages and bitmaps colours going beserk.
I also do signwork every day alonside multi page docs. I've never had these problems before.in any of the previous versions.
I appreciate what you're saying about settings but I've checked them over and over. The Publish to PDF settings and presets are identical in .X8 and 2018 I've repaired and reinstalled to no avail.
Still odder the printer phoned me only this afternoon that a full size JPEG I had sent him for a fairly small sign wouldn't open. I've saved it down to X8 and re exported it and everything's fine.
One perculiarity is that when I installed the 2018 upgrade (from disc) I wasn't asked for a previous version code. It always has in the past when upgrading by download or disc.
I've already dropboxed a file to Ariel, as requested in the thread Big problems exporting PDF.
Many thanks, Colin
