Hi guys.
I've just discovered one very disturbing thing.I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.For example lets make 4 squares.Each with different line thickness: 0.08mm / 0.06mm / 0.04mm and hairline.Now save it as pdf and now open (import) again in Corel. Now thickness will be like that: 0.08 / hairline / hairline / hairlineInformation in pdf is correct because if you open this pdf with Illustrator all lines have correct thickness.This means that Corel changes line thickness during import???It seems that during the import all lines with a thickness less than 0.078mm are converted to hairline.This is some nightmare.Can you please check if you have the same?Or maybe there is some solution for that (some setting)?
I believe this may be a semi non-issue in some part, the data I posted below shows the parameters of PDF.
While CorelDRAW can produce a PDF within these specifications for placement in Illustrator, (which surprises me), Illustrator, CorelDRAW and no other PS/PDF based device can output a file with this line weight correctly.
CorelDRAW treats the imported or opened PDF differently than a RIP does and to me that is an issue.
The PDF process is incapable of outputting this line weight, at least in any of my RIPs and I'm not talking the $2,500 POS's you get with an inkjet.
As far as usefulness in display, at zoom levels of 750% and lower my 4K display synthesizes the view to show the line at all, this continues, and the display is not capable of what I see as a proper display until 1800%.
Exactly what are you creating that you need a weight of .004" or .088MM? If you need these light line weights where do you use them in any viable fashion?
That's what I'm seeing om my display also for some reason the smallest line weight defaults to very near the documented (in my RIPs) PDF line weight.
Again, that's a significant verified documentation that line weights under .004 mm are unreproducible in PDF as I got duplicated results by generating PDF files via a distilled postscript process.
Draw in my opinion should have a goal of reproducing RIP results on PDF import. Illustrator and Draw should be developing warning about lite line weights.
