Thinking this is NOT an issue of typical missing Color Management know-how, but maybe really a failure in CorelDraw RGB pdf export(!?), because whatever I am trying to set (CM off, CM sRGB, etc. etc. etc. ...), and also pdf export settings:
When I export vector graphics to RGB/sRGB and open the pdf in another software (like Serif Page Plus, Adobe etc.), the color values are variying a little bit.
For example, my gray value of a logotype in Corel was 118, 115, 113.
Now I export as pdf (many logical!! setting of CM tried!!!), any other software that opens the document - also CORRECT CM settings - values are 117, 115, 112. --- The same light variations nearly anytime with any RGB color. Not possible to create vector pdfs of logos for my clients correctly this way! Really bad.
Instead of starting a discussion about Color Management Settings, could any professional, maybe a Corel member check this behaviour in practice and give me a feed-back!? - In the best case let me know the complete settings for Corel CM and pdf Export to get the RGB pdf export done correctly.
Thank you so much!

(I am currently using X4, but know that same behaviour from X3 and passed again hours to try really all reasonable CM and export combinations, at least I think so. Windows7 and WindowsXP)
What are you viewing the PDF in? Pittston Pro allows you to choose between percentage and 0/255
Yes. Two experiments: RGB pdf and pdf without conversion.
Here are examined files:

There is a dll in your ZIP file.
Open this PDF in the application of your choosing--CD, PP, AI. It uses the values in your opening post.

EDIT: I just noticed this is in the X4 section. Sorry. this is from X7 and I have no other versions installed anymore.
Sorry, bad attachment. This is good. Note, the experiment only Corel X3. This could be important.

X4 does not embed profiles in a PDF and it's 8 years old. what version of AI?
