Hello - I have an extremely old version (X3) and I am really new to Corel Draw. I haven't had any issues in the past but I am currently working on a file and when I publish it to a PDF, the grid lines appear. I have done some research and gone to the Object Manager and to the Master Page drop down. Where it has Grid listed the eye is closed (so that they are invisible) but the printer Icon is filled in. I attempt to click on it to "X" it out but that doesn't do anything. I right click on Grib and go to Properties but I am unable to click on "Printable" to make it so they don't print. I have an earlier version of this document in which it didn't do this. I had to make some changes and we have to track our changes so I did a "Save As" but I don't know why it would have switched from the original version to this issue when I didn't click on anything to make this happen. Any suggestions?
It is usually not possible to set the grid to be printable, except by using a VBA macro, so something has gone wrong here.
I don't have X3 to compare, but if you right click on the grid layer do you get a properties option? If you do, you could try turning off printing there, but I suspect the result will be the same.
There is a macro to do it at http://community.coreldraw.com/talk/coreldraw_graphics_suite_x5/f/543/t/23712 but it is intended for X5 and I cannot guarantee that it will work for X3. Of course, you will need to change the path from X5 to X3 as a minimum.
Or another way that might work, if its a single page document -- copy everything to clipboard (which I hope will not include the grid), create a new document of the correct size, make sure it doesn't already have the same problem with the grid, and paste everything back from the clipboard.
I'm not sure if this will work, but it might be worth trying to import to a new document rather than opening it.
