Hi, I'm trying to import a PDF (from the U.S. patent office), but every time I try to import, Corel Draw 2019 hard crashes. Closes the program. I've tried 5 times, tried rebooting my PC, etc.. but nothing helps. I've attached the PDF. I'm importing as "text" and "comments on separate layer"
PDF
Is this file createdcrecently? Does it have security?
Yes, without security. We print out a PDF for the orders and import it to the Corel file.I do have SP3 installed. I tried Primo PDF, it works with 2017 without any problems, Foxit and MS Print to PDF. With all, after import, Corel is just hanging. CPU is on 20%.
I was waiting a couple of minutes, then I killed the task.
This is just a print out from this thread / Firefox V70.0.1. Can't import.
Ok I get it. Can you please share an offending file please?
Sure. When I import the attached document, Corel 2019 stops working.PDF
Hey guys,
Files open fine in Adobe AcrobatReader DCDocuments Properties shows:PDF Producer: ImageMagick 6.6.0-1 2010-03-04 Q8 http://www.imagemagick.orgPDF version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
There seems to be corruption with a/some embedded fonts which other programs seem to ignore but CorelDRAW barf on a null pointer.
Is it not true that CorelDRAW X7 opens the file. I have tried that and CorelDRAW crash in all versions.
I managed to open the file in Abode, update the text to Times New Roman so it is the same as before and now the file opens fine as curved in CorelDRAW, except for the graphic at the end.
Yes, FWIW, I think the crashes are somehow related to embedded vs. substituted fonts. For instance, your sample PDF file imported OK into my Corel 2019, but other PDF files crash.
Corel does not necessarily support all PDF producers. It should be fine if it's Adobe.
For all the ones that cannot be opened on your side ensure to report to Tech Support so that it makes is way to the Engineering department for troubleshooting and improvements.
