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
Yes, you are correct i use the wrong verbage, the button for complex objects to bitmaps doesn't change anything on ALL comps even the comp 3 that it DID change the object to a bitmap, it didn't matter if checked or not it Changed it to a bitmap anyway.
Try using "compatibilty" with Acrobat 8.0 or higher, without convert to bitmap
TY for replying Ariel,
My problem is when in Corelx8 "publish to PDF" gives me options, be it DC , 9.0, PDF X/1, PDF X3 PDF a1b / render complex fills to bitmaps. I tried ALL the available options and NONE change the "gradient fill to a bitmap when i import it back into corelx8. ONLY the computer 3 changed this to a bitmap, with all the same settings as the other 2 computers.
YES, it will print correctly, but i send my artwork out to a digital house to print on vinyl, as i have for over 20 years now with NO issues. I always import my work back into Corelx8 to check for any errors or conversion issues. I can't even check them now corelx8 chugs so bad or most of the time i need to task manager and close corelx8 because it's non responsive.
Rasterize is completely out of the question
