Hello, I encountered a strange bug when designing labels for work.
The label I designed is shown in CorelDRAW perfectly normal, but when I turn the page it is on into a PDF-document for my coworkers to use, the label is suddenly suffering an odd distortion. What could cause this?
(Sorry about the cursor) on the left is what Corel shows me, on the right is how this part looks in the resulting PDF. We speculated at work that some kind of invisible paragraph formatting may be confusing Corel when creating the PDF, but the (graphical) curved text itself claims that's actually impossible -the options are all greyed out anyway.
How can I solve this, besides starting from scratch and hoping this bug won't show up again?
Hello,
I have 2023 and no problem with curved text either with the curve or broken and the curve removed.PDFPDF
Maybe attach your cdr file and let me try
Cheer
Ctrl+Q is the command to convert an object to curves.
You can add this command to your toolbar

Strange.Do you mind sharing your file, or at least the parts where this problem occurs?Upload here (must zip the cdr first) or to some file sharing site.
The font used was just your basic Arial. Also I think I found the reason for this bug, see below.
Sharing the file is sadly out of the question, I was alreardy skirting our IT-security by making carefully cropped screenshots.
Trying to turn text into curves I've given up on, since simply using Text -> Attach to Line works fairly well for attaching text to curves. Apart from stuff like exact positioning often being a bit wonky, see above.
I still do not know why some objects, like circles, are "invalid" for attaching text to the curvature. Anyway, since the objects I needed to attach text to where formed using Bézier-lines, it still worked out in the end.
