Hello,
I just saw that some objects I have in some documents are exported into a PDF in a different way I expected. I attach a simple circle.
As a PDF opening it in Adobe Illustrator, it is shown as "open path".
As an AI opening it there it is shown as "closed path".
Is there any hint in this objects that shows it could be understood as open path by illustrator in a PDF?
(I send some files often as AI or PDF to other creators or customers using Illustrator, so it's not about that I should not use or open it in Illustrator...)

If PDF export is converting a closed curve object to an open path, ensure that your export settings or software properly supports and retains vector path integrity. Check for any export options related to path conversion or consult the documentation for potential settings adjustments.
thank you. There are no options I guess in CorelDraw. In Illustrator you can choose the editing PDF export option and then the path remains closed. But in CorelDraw, as David also wrote, this editing PDF option does not exist in this way (although there is an export that is named that way).
For me the most important information was from the Adobe community that also from InDesign and Illustrator the path becomes open and the additional node added when exporting a non editing PDF. I guess most users don't know this. I also asked in the Acrobat community but without answer.
It would be interesting if Acrobat or any tool like preflight can check in a PDF whether there are open paths and also show the nodes. I guess there isn't?
