CorelDraw has this nice layout style option named "booklet".But if you use this and include a background picture on a page, CorelDraw will not print it - or maybe just a little part of the background.
I recognized this problem since CD2022/2023, but also in CD2024 it seems not be fixed.
To exclude system or driver dependet sources of error I tried the appended file on 4 total different systems (win10 and win11) with 3 different printers.Result was always the same: Background picture was not printed correctly.
Using the layout style "Full Page" fixes the issue.Documentation to the feature im mean - see "Layout styles".
Is anyone able to print the appended 2-page example file? I would be surprised.Some printer offers a real preview. In such cases you may see the result. But do not look on the CorelDraw print preview - it lies.
booklet fail - test file.zip
All I did was to convert the image with the lens on page 1 and 4 to a bitmap and it printed.
Of course this would work. There is another workaround for this bug too - export to PDF and print it.
But if you buy a car with air condition, would you expect it to work? Or is it okay if the salesman tells you "Look, there are window lifters. It also gets colder if you open the windows."
Oh - another great workaround is to just not using booklet layout style.
