Hi
I'm having major problems trying to export a 48 page A5 document to pdff in the new CDGS 2018. I've been exporting these documents (a monthly News booklet) for years in X5, X6 and X8 with no difficulty whatsoever. The first time I tried to publish to PDF in 2018 it only exported 4 pages out of 48, I checked all the settings and again the same failure.
I saved the document to X8, opened it in that version and exported it to pdf without issue. Same settings.
I've repaired 2018 and even uninstalled and reinstalled (from the disc). Same problem.
Can somebody please help.
Thanks, Colin
it only happens with this document? if you create a new 48 pages document it works fine or has the same issue?
Hi Ariel
Thanks for that suggestion. I've just created a quick multi page document in 2018 and it exported to PDF without a problem.
What I don't understand is if there was something wrong with the original document created in 2018, why did it export cleanly from X8 (after saving it to the earlier version). The PDF settings were identical for both programs.
Sorry, but without test the file we only can imagine what's happens
Where and how do I send it. It's a very large file. Dropbox?
Dropbox, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, WeTransfer, etc
Address?
you can send me directly to ariel.garaza@gmail.com or copy/paste here
Thanks Ariel. I've sent it directly to your email address via dropbox . The file is "PARISH NEWS JUNE 2018 col".
Good luck, but as I said, the file exports with no problem when I save it to X8 and publish it to PDF from there.
It's 2018 that fails to export anything correctly.
Hi Colin, any luck? My Corel 2018 does exactly the same, only export the first 14 pages of a 67 page document to PDF, I saved the document back to Corel 2017, and had no problem to PDF the whole document.
The only way round I find always works is to convert all text to curves. I.ve reduced the number of fonts on my system, as advised, which works to an extent but still a bit hit and miss. If I want to preserve the text I'm still saving back to X8 and exporting from there. Hoping for a patch,, if enough users highlight the problem. I still don't understand why I have to employ remedial measures to fix something that wasn't broken before.
All the best, Colin
Colin: Have you applied Update 1 to CDGS 2018? It's available at 'Patches & Updates' and dated 06-14-2018. However, the Release Notes do not indicate specific PDF Export fixes. Nonetheless, it is recommended to apply it.
Good luck!
Many thanks, Didn't realise the first patch was out. See if it does anything.
