When I publish it to PDF the page size is too big. I want to know how I can scale it down to a smaller page size, ie 500' x 500', currently I am at 1/4' = 1'. The corel page size now is 2,800 x 2000'. Thanks, Iain
I didn't think the max art board size in CorelDRAW went any bigger than 1800" X 1800". In full size sign design work I rarely ever work on page sizes larger than 1000" tall or wide.PDF output in CorelDRAW appears to run into serious problems with page sizes any larger than 125" or 150". You'll just have to create a copy of your layout and reduce it to a much smaller scale on a much smaller page size, especially if it will be printed on normal sized sheets of paper. Reduce the artwork in size by a specific percentage for it to match a certain scale. For instance if it will be 1/4" = 1' the percentage would be 2.083333%.

Just wanted to comment that it isn't, necessarily, CorelDRAW's fault. Let me just steal some explanation from here:
In PDF Versions 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0) and earlier the maximum PDF page size was 45"x45"
In PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0) and 1.5 (Acrobat 6.0) the maximum PDF page size was 200"x200".
In PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.0) and newer the theoretical PDF page size is 15,000,000"x15,000,000" but in reality, most programs do not properly support any sizes above 200"x200".
The fact that this "super popular" format has such annoying limitations is infuriating.
The PDF 1.6 theoretical dimension is like screen doors on a submarine. I know of no one that supports it.
