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.
I don't have access to the file you posted, I'd like to test the CDR file anyway. I only use 2018 and I'm not having any issues.
Hi David
Ariel has got back (impressively quickly) and spotted a number of issues. I'll be looking into them today but at first glance they look to be largely of my own making (!). I'll get back later if that's OK.
Many thanks, Colin
