I recently have been having this problem publishing a Corelx8 file with a gradient fill to Pdf.
The fills after exporting are ALOT of vector solid fills getting lighter to darker like an eps.
It used to turn gradients into a bitmap, I know that setting is in the export settings, but clicked on or not it turns my gradient fills to ALOT of vectors.
I reset back to default and it still does this. What has changed?
I had to re do my art over and over and i did get it one TIME to export it as a bitmap, second, third, fourth,....... 40th try all vectors.
I can't figure out the rhyme or reasoning for this. I tried, all the configurations PDF x-1a. PDF x-3 i lowered the resolution to 72, I raised the resolution.
Still can't get it to publish as a bitmap like it used to do.
Any help would be greatful.

That's the problem: too much power Sorry, it's little joke.

Really. not The most similar option is convert "complex objects" to bitmap, not gradients. And if you "print to PDF" instead export or publish as PDF, the option is to rasterize the entire page, or "optimize fountain fill" under Postscript tab. Anyway, according with the compatibility of some version of Acrobat, it could happens: for example, the PDF X/3 or PDF X/1a
Rasterize is completely out of the question
Found the problem, David M lead me down the trail back to Corel's gradient fill settings.
I made 2 circles with a black to white gradient fill.
I used the default fountain fill the other step and repeat.
Published to PDF and walla!!!!!!!! the defaul fountain fill converted to a bitmap, the other was a TON of vectors
Sorry, forgot to thank you all for all the input.
THANK YOU!!
