I have a file that consists of various fountain Fills. When I publish to pdf and choose prepress preset or any other preset only one of the fountain fills is retained imported back to cd for verification. The other Fountain Fills are made up of a thousand shapes all of different "stepped colors" to make up the fountain fill.
Only thing I found to fix it was from a thread a while back pertaining to this very subject. If the "Node Position" in the fountain fill is anything other than 50% it will not export/publish correctly

Can you email the PDF?
Hi, Myron! What Acrobat compatibility are you using?
Myron said:The other Fountain Fills are made up of a thousand shapes all of different "stepped colors" to make up the fountain fill.
this sounds like a compatibility with old Acrobat versions (such as Acrobat 4.0/5.0 or PDF X/3), since it splits a gradient into multiple individual shapes. Using compatibility with Acrobat 8.0 or higher shouldn't produce it.

That sounds strange... are you using CorelDRAW for verification of PDF files?
Have you checked the PDF using Acrobat?
I tried several Acrobat versions.
As far as I know Acrobat doesn't allow for a wireframe view so checking it there would be of no help. I believe this was a known issue in X7 has been fixed. I'm still using build 17.5.0.907
