color fading not working proper in symbols (Bug)

included here is a simple file. in it are two instances of the same symbol. The colour fading in the symbol should be the same in both but is wrong in both. It took me a while to figure out what actually happens. The center of the colour fade is actually anchored to the CENTER of the PAGE. If you edit the symbol than you will see how it is actually meant to look like.

Now, if you move the symbols around the contend remains the same but as soon as you edit one instance of the symbol all symbols will readjust the color fade to the new position they are in in proportion of the center of the page. You probably will now start to recreate this problem. This problem only exist on color fades which have been imported from a PDF and probably generated using illustrator. I had the issue a couple of times. To fix this I can either redraw the entire part which contains the fading or export as SVG and import it back in. Nothing else seams to work. exporting and re-importing as eps still the same. copy past. still the same. Am I missing a tick box somewhere?

    Hello.

    Save your self a lot of pain.

    Stop beating dead horses and end a lot of frustration does your head hurt from hitting a wall?

    You have run into the challenges of postscript as a programming language, it is open to interpretation and different presentations of the same code, works great for the original intent, as a page description language for simple text back in 1984.

    Adobe started it and control it, there is open code they release and their enhanced set they use,in the same way they created type 3 fonts to avoid releasing the hinting code for Type1. thank Bitstream for reverse engineering Type I font code for all the fonts available today Adobe would probably still be holding the secrets. orel and others have had difficulty with adobe Eps and pdf interpretation for years.

    This has been discussed here many times, multi point radial and fountain fills particularly do not come in to Corel correctly the Ai eps format from adobes cloud product particularly. Adobe nor Corel formats are open. Corel use Ghostscript and I think it's Ulead and theirtools for managing postscript Cadlink use an imagick set of tools both of which create different results than Adobe.

    Basically if you need correct results generated from Adobe products you need Adobe products. We only use Publish to Pdf if it's straight text and photo not fountains lenses or transparency. We use a jaws pdf maker or adobe pdf printer, yes it costs money to do but, we don't have corrections to do nor panic when something doesn't print.

    It would be great if Corel used someone like global graphics (harlequin, Jaws) to build a reliable accurate interpreter yes it means paying a license fee but it's the only one we have found that works as well as Adobe at creating , ripping, and printing poststscript, eps and pdf files.

    Are there others out there anymore?
