I have a .cdr in the FAQ in the list of files that can be attached to forum posts, but when I upload it, it shows Error in red.
CDR files are not accepted here, unless they have changed it recently.I suggest you ZIP the file.
411AING.zip
Thank you for your reply. I see that I can upload it as a zip file.Actually, the uploaded file (411NG.cdr) does not seem to be able to be displayed in Adobe illustrator. the Corel version is 2023.I exported the file as AI and sent it to my business partner, but they replied that they cannot see it, so I am having trouble. Of course, I can open and edit the file in Corel, but not in Adobe. I have contacted support, but so far they have not been able to find the cause of the problem. （I'm not sure if it's the export method or not.)Do you know the cause of this problem?By the way, is there any way to export as PDF compatible in Corel?

Found it!The little "on/off" symbol consists of a number of different objects; a filled curve, many small hairline curves, and a Connector line (why???). All these 17 objects forms the symbol, when one combined curve would have been enough.To make it worse, these parts are using different blacks. Some parts are CMYK black, some parts use RGB black and there is also a Pantone 426 black involved.That in itself could cause a lot of trouble if you ask me, but is not the reason why it cannot be imported.The real reason is that two lines in the "I" part of the symbol has a negative outline width.Not sure how you have managed to make it negative but it is, and that is why Illustrator won't accept it.Correct those two outlines and try again.
Thanks for your perfect answer Ronny Axelsson!
In the meantime before Corel fixes this bug (if ever), I pose these two questions seeking for your expert guidance:
1. Is there an automated way of identifying these offending objects or the only way would be to painstakingly search for them manually?
2. If it's a multipage document how would you get around this problem? Supposing there are multiple outlines with several different negative widths?

By the way, colleagues noticed that the actual width of the outline is equal to what is shown, but without the minus. Those. -2mm is actually equal to 2mm.In this regard, for a multi-page document, we find negative values of the contour thickness and change them to positive ones
