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.
Thanks to everyone in the thread. Draw has a great community!
When I first started this, I didn't do any alternate attempts with another document, just the same newsletter file I've used previously. I just opened in Draw 2018 a more recent copy created in Draw 2017 and exported it to PDF without any of the issues (bitmaps not exporting, only 1 of 2 pages exporting). So it does seem to be working correctly.
I am truly at a loss as to why the initial file did not work. Nothing different from the one that worked. The only thing I noticed different today was the text warning about replacing fonts a newer version. I didn't get that with the previous upgrade of the file to 18.
I'll update this thread if something changes, so thanks again, but never mind...
I find (on Ariel's advice) that converting the fonts to curves works; I'd previously always embedded them.
I'm stil stumped as to why the same document (with embedded fonts) exports to PDF from X8 and not 2018. Regard bitmaps for single signs I'm playing safe and flattening the whole file before exporting - I can't take the risk with a composite Draw file.at the moment.
I too am constantly getting the Replace Fonts message even though they're all installed, but probably not so often. That'slikely a "bedding-in" issue.
