Ever since I upgraded to X7, when I publish a PDF file from my CorelDraw document, the PDF file is blank. It is completely empty. All the pages show up - they are just empty.
This happens with any type of PDF - for web or for print.
When I try to publish it again and overwrite the old one, it is still blank.
But when I delete the old one and try to publish again, sometimes I get a perfect PDF, other times it is still blank.
I've never had this problem before X7. It is a little irritating when I'm in a hurry and need to send a client a PDF.
Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated!
UPDATE: This issue has now been fixed. I reinstalled CorelDraw X7 and I have no more problems with PDFs.
I am having the same problem and for me it is a show stopper. If Corel does not fix this, I am going back to CorelDraw X5. I own a graphic art and print production business and I can create a pdf by exporting to a different file and then converting to a pdf but that is a pain and takes too long.
This is a huge pain in the ass and it needs to be fixed quickly.

Can you post or upload a test file? Upload the original CDR and the resulting PDF.As far as I know (and from my own experiences) Publish to PDF works very good.
You can download my original CDR and the resulting blank PDF file here: https://app.box.com/s/9kl2owrixcc0hjtiz3w9
As I've said before, it happens with any CorelDraw file. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

Tried a few different settings for Publish to PDF, and they all gave me a perfect PDF.Not sure what is wrong on your side but I suggest you run a Repair of Draw. Use the DVD and choose the Repair option from the installation screen.Also make sure you install GhostScript, if it isn't already. Not that I think it has anything to do with this issue, but it is needed in other import/export cases.

Thanks, Ronnie, I will try to run a repair.
Yes, when I try to overwrite a PDF it always gives me a blank PDF. Very strange. So I've started giving it a new name now each time.
Please do.I'm not getting this error every time I overwrite but it has happened. Only from PhotoPaint though, as far as I can remember.
Have you been able to solve?
Here is everything ok with the file, I auditioned in X7.1 and gave just right as it should. CorelDraw repair can be a solution.
