CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Barcodes Appear As Fonts When Opening Files From Customer
Jul 14, 2011
We have a certain customer that sends us Corel Draw files with bar codes in them and sometimes the bar codes appear as fonts when I open the files, but sometimes other files come across as bar codes. What causes the bar codes to come across as fonts on some files? Is it something the customer is doing that makes the bar codes come across as fonts?
We're having problems opening X5 docuements that contain barcodes on them. When trying to edit the barcode it says "failure to launch server application" and if the barcode is rotated, its stretched to fit the area it was in but its back to the orginal unrotated position.
In CD X5 is there a "PLACE" feature similar to what Illustrator has to import a PDF into a document without opening or checking for fonts. I've used the import feature in CD but that always scan the pdf for fonts and compatibility.
I've been trying to insert new barcodes into a label document on Coral Draw and it comes up with an error message saying “Failed to create object. Make sure the object is entered in system registry”.
how to generate serialized barcodes with CorelDRAW X6? I need to be able to give it a starting number and range and have the barcodes generated automatically on different pages to then be printed using imposition printing.
I've created a template that I use for customer proofs. It has the boilerplate text and three text boxes that I click in and type the "Customer's Name", "Description", and the "Date".
Is there any way of having a text box auto fill with "Today's Date" and the "File Name" with full path in a new text box that I'ld like to add?
When I open up existing Corel files the fonts are missing. The fonts are there in other applications, just not in t Corel. We have other machines with Windows 7 and X3 and they work fine.
I currently have Graphics Suite 12. As you know there are 3 CD discs full of fonts and CDR files . . . . how do I view them . . . how do I search them??In the "good ol' daze" Coral gave us a thing called a BOOK that showed all the fonts and CDR images on the disc, but alas . . . no more books . . . all those hundreds CDR files would be very useful . . . if I knew what they were (same with all the fonts).
Upgrading to X6 today due to Windows 7 issues, per IT dept. Right off the bat, all the arrowheads on our lines are gone. We always used third one on the arrowhead drop down, but now we have to select them all and add the arrowhead back in, and then change the other half to point in the right direction.
Bug fix for this or just suck up and change 1K drawings in our library?
I just installed X6 in a new computer ( the old one crashed and burned) I had both X5 & X6 in the old computer. Just installed the X6 in the new one. Several old files created in X5 will not open in X6. When I try to open them - they crash X6. Have taken files to another computer and same happens. These files open OK in X5. I have tried 'resaving them' in X5 to V12 and opening in X6 - Crashes Corel same as before..?
I have fully licensed X4 version. Last week i was receiving 4 different cdr files (cdr X4), created by other person (lets call him Jack). Files were ok, but there was some grammar mistakes, so I asked Jack to correct them and send files back to me. But! When he did that, I wasn't able to open theese files . My Corel hangs trying to open all of them. And it seems like files are opened and Corel is running, but i can not see anything, even panels...Only gray or white screen is visible.... Today, 12 of April, i received files (created also on version X4) from another person and story repeats. It only happans with some cdr X4 files, other works just fine.
Common thing is that all of them are created on X4 version. I tried several times to reinstall my corel, but it did work. I downloaded trial version of Corel X5 on other PC, there i was able to open them, save for version 14, only then i could open theese files on my pc. But i can not do that all the time. Jack is very active client and trial version is only for a month =). I need to understand is it my Corel problem, or Jacks. But todays events, shows it is my problem. I have a feeling, that it might be some corel updates, which prevent my Legal Corel X4 to open cdr files, created on Pirate Corel X4 version. Can it be true? Conflict between legal and illegal versions... If trully, such updates took place last week
Last week I opened some .eps files into coreldraw 12 without any hitch. But two days later I am unable to open or import any of the eps files. I am unable to find out what is the problem. The files I opened and worked on earlier are now opening as static bmp files or they are just opening as a grey square with adobe illustrator written on it. I tried selected both (eps) and (ps, prn, eps ) from the file type while importing. Also I kept the sort type at default. But still it keeps giving me the invalid file type error.
We have tried this on 5 different machine configurations from XP (SP3) to windows 7 (SP1).
We do magazine outlays and therefore require large files. As soon as we go above certain size ( about 1.7GB), then the file will save. But try and open the file then we get an error. Disassembling the file gives an error on opening hte RIFF file. Try and import then erro is "cannot import empty file".
Quite a few people have given advice on using smaller files, but that is impractical. Our only viable solution at the moment is using files split into 10 to 20 pages each. Importing all the section, then creating the PDF and do not bother to save the complete file. We even went as far as building a test machine with up to 24GB of RAM and all the bells & whistles and only windows barebone + updates, no other 3rd party software except Coreldraw X5.
what the size of file is that Coreldraw X5 can handle? WHere are the limitations and is there a swap file setting?
I recently have installed Corel Draw x5 and everything was working perfectly fine when all of a sudden it stopped opening .cgm files. It will pop up the message of Corel Draw has stopped working and then I click OK and it closes the program. Every other file extension I have tried opens prefectly fine.
Here are a couple of things that I've done so far:
1. Reverted back to a Default Workspace.
2. Closed out all Dockers.
3. Reinstalled entire program and all features. Updated all patches and Clean booted the PC with only MS Services running. (As instructed by Corel Support)
I find when i open any file i have saved as an X6 file CorelDraw crashes ...the only way it works is if i open a blank template or older file (not saved in x6) first
Some saved files will not reopen in CoreldrawX5 showing an error message 'Encountered an improper argument' and that is it! Very frustrating as all the work seems to be lost and needs to be redone.
I am using corel X6 64 on a Dell optiplex 9010 intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz. 8.00GB of RAM. Its taking about 1-2 minutes to copy/cut/open a file/save a file or even publish to PDF. On the same machine Same circumstances but different User i have no problem. I have to use my user because its connected to my email and at this company i cant change that. I have researched many forums and its not color styles or object styles. It does it on a new file with only one object created. I got a new computer signed on to my user account and the problem persists.
When I installed X5 on my XP Pro computer, I up graded from Windows SP2 to SP3. Than I installed Corel Draw X5. Ever since I did that I can't see my text on the screen unless I use the pointer. Also, I can't see the fonts in the font list. Add to that, it even made my X4 do the same thing. However, I can use X3 with no problems with the fonts. I have un-installed and re-installed it more then once.
font issues with X6.2, ever since the last update certain fonts basically don't appear on the documents once they are open, even although they are there in the preview. I've reinstalled the fonts in question, but still nothing. They work in other applications.
On the image below you will see the small squares, this is the size f the object, the dots in a line are the. actual words of text. The font(s) in this job is Omnes regular and medium, which are Open Type fonts.
In CorelDraw x6 the drop down list of fonts in now out of alphabetical order. The order seems completely random and I can not tell what order it has decided to use. Is there a solution to this error?
I am currently working with gnuplot and some graphical output I want to postprocess in corel. I get a correct .eps file however when I want to import those files I get some font problem. For example: my degree symbol ° gets somewhat confused with another letter é. Same goes for some symbols like the greek theta. In gnuplot I use that /Symbol t for theta and its also correct in the output. However if it goes to corel it gets confused with these symbols and imports the curves wrong.
I'm new with Corel and I'm creating a banner and logo for a nonprofit organization as a volunteer. I have two or three questions. How do I divide a vector horizontally and vertically? How do I use a downloaded font in Corel? I can't import it in. Is there another way?
In Corel Draw x6 recently I am facing a problem. After writing few sentence when I wan to change the font style... and click on the font then the system hangs for a minute or responding very slowly. If I scroll the mouse to go downwards or upwards fonts... even then the system works very slowly. Why its happening? Any problem due to the number of fonts loaded? About 600 fonts loaded in my machine.
I'm interested in creating some variations in font sets or new font sets altogether. My fading recollection is that some of the earlier versions of DRAW may have had that option as a utility. I know that we had it here at some point, although it could possibly have been in the PageMaker package..
