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
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.
I can import this PDF in Corel 2017, but not in 2019.
Tom,
I have no problem opening the new PDF I have attached previously in CorelDRAW 2019.
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.
