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?
Sounds like there is something in your file that makes Draw behave in an unexpected way.Would it be possible to copy the parts where these problems occur to a new file, maybe change the text if it is secret, and then upload so we can have a look at it?
My best guess is that the text got scrounged up at the middle line of the object, which is where I initially added the curved text. The mess was just not visible enuogh in the original file, and something inside the PDF-processing caused the error to magnify.
It seems in the future I have to be careful to leave enough space on the line for a curved text line.
