CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Won't Open New Or Old Document - Processing / Not Responding
Nov 6, 2011
So, I've had CorelDraw X4 for maybe two years now. Everything has always worked fine.
Now, I can't get it to open new documents, and when it says it's "processing" to open old documents.. It doesn't really make any progress, and nothing every opens.
Got the "Cannot open a blank document" ERROR Message when I went to open a recently created Corel Draw X5 file. Using Windows 7 Professional.First time I've gotten this message.
I saved a book a friend of mine worked on using coreldraw 12 on a cd and tried to open it in X6 but it won't open. I think My sys. Os is a 32 bit, I have a trial version of x6 on this comp. and full version 12 on another. When I ok convert to bitmap Error message says invalid file format.
I've really tried to figure this out on my own – you'd think it would be simple. At some early point, before I was at all familiar with CorelDRAW, I closed the document palette, and ever since then it does not open automatically when I start the program or open a document. I have had to open it manually, and I can't seem to find a way to make it open by default.
For some reason a Document Color Palette doesn't appear by default when I create a new document. It did at one time, but now I have to manually activate it. Not sure what I did to cause this change in behavior, but I'd like to get it back as a default.
Working in photopaint . . . all goes well until I try to save or close the file. Then it stops responding. When I try to close CorelDraw, it says that I cannot close it while I have the photo open in Photopaint. However, Photopaint is no longer running. This is new problem since I installed Patch 3.
The problem I'm having with X5 is that whenever I try to save something, or open a file...I get the (not responding) message at the top of the page. Some times it will clear itself out and open or save the file, a sometimes it will just close the program.
This happens primarily in Draw....cause that's what I use the most...but has happened in Photo-Paint as well to me. 8gb of memory...so that's not the problem, and when I check for updates...it's the most current update/SP as well. It's always slow to open as well. Only about 400 fonts installed too.
I don't know why it happens but whenever I start Corel it starts fine but after a while the color information disappears and says "Processing" until I restart it. I have uninstalled, F8, latest updates, the whole bit. I work in the sign business so I must be crazy.
I recently switched to coreldraw x5. is there a way to change default guidelines color. and this setting should remain forever.
one more thing i want the green processing filling, which is now present in the background tasks to be visible. ...just like in older versions how can i do it?
I am attempting to hyperlink from my CorelDraw file to a separate PDF. I want the link to work when I export my CorelDraw page to pdf, and I would like to be able to hyperlink to a different pdf file. A quick google search turned up a file:\ syntax to lead with in the hyperlink but I'm having trouble getting it to work.
Is there any way to lock or protect the image and text in a corel draw when you export as cdr, ai or pds. I need to give a document to a photoshop users but I don't want the person to be able to remove or export the image or copyright text line.
So in document color settings in color management, should the primary color mode be RGB or CMYK? I only print inkets and never send stuff out to a regular printer.
should all color settings be at RGB if the option is offered?
Yesterday, suddently when editing text in a document, clicking outside of the text edit, CDR crashes:
Runtime error!
Program: c:Program Fi...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I have tried to do the tricks, I googled, like resetting to factory, editing the xml file and running as administrator. Nothing works. It is when I edit any font, and in a new document also. AND update of CDR X4 with service pack 2 did not work.
I have a senior project within CorelDRAW X6 (Student) that spans around 1200 pages spread across about 25 different .CDRs. I need to export all of those pages as .JPEGs so I can manipulate them in another program.
I know that you can batch export using a macro. But I only need exactly what's on the page at the page size. My solution was to crop each page (yes, one by one) and then later do a batch export on all of them. However, when batch exporting to .JPEG, I noticed that I was getting different results than when I had exported pages individually in the past. At first I thought this was a macro issue. But when I was trying various things I realized that anytime I closed a document after cropping it, upon reopen my drop shadows would be gone. And of course, I didn't realize this until I had already cropped all 1200 pages and was doing my batch export. I've tested it and if I crop a document and then batch export the pages before closing the document I can get the results I need. But that would require me to crop all 1200 pages again and my time is running short.
(Ignore the color differences here...I'm fairly certain it's because I didn't pay attention to my color settings on export here) Export before closing via file converter macro:
Export after closing file and then batch exporting via macro:
Any macro for cropping to page size and then exporting to jpeg (or other format) all in one fell swoop? This would hopefully bypass this issue and save me the huge problem of having to crop them all again. I could just open each document and run the macro. In theory, that would be quick.
When I export or publish to pdf from CorelDraw X6 the document size changes.If lets say i export an A4 page and then inport it again the size of the page has changed from 210x297 to 209,903 x 296,686 !
Windows Vista 64, corel crashes on creating new document or opening existing one. It crashes twice actually. First crash spews out this:

Both are Visual C++ related as far as I can see. I have all the Visual C++ redistributables installed and up to date.
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”.
if I create a new document, say A4, and then import a TIFF photo to that document, the photo appears much larger than my background A4 document. So, do I edit my photo and then export it as a TIFF again, or should I resize my background document from A4 to match the size of my photo before exporting? What I'm asking is that I don't want to lose the original size of my TIFF image, so when I export my image will CD save the TIFF image in it's original size or resize it to that of my created A4 document?
I need to make a bunch of barcode tags for a client. I know CorelDraw isn't the best tool for this, but it's what I have and this is a one-time job.
To partially automate the process, I'm trying to use print merge to make the parts of the tags that aren't barcode, but I include the text that belongs in the barcode on the page. The print merge works correctly, I get what I expect. The next step would be to cut the barcode text, choose Insert Barcode, and then paste the barcode text into the barcode dialog.
Except, when trying to paste the text intended for the barcode I discovered that I was actually copying the <var1> field--not the text. I verified this by copying the "text" from the print merge document and then pasting back into the same document--what I got from the paste was not the expected text, but <var1>.
Since the barcode type I was using does not support the "<" character, it gave me an "invalid character" error.
My attempted solution was to publish to a PDF file and then import into a new document. This worked except for some reason CorelDraw makes a new layer named, inexplicably, "Layer 1" (there's a "Layer 1" by default, why make a second layer with the same name?) BUT when the import is done the new layer is NOT chosen in Object Manager, the original "Layer 1" is. Which means, when I go to copy the text and insert the barcode it ends up UNDER the other parts of the barcode tag which are on the NEW "Layer 1".
How can I get good faxed result after the graphic had been created and pasted to Words and Excel document? Even normal text in black would comes out faded not sharp.
Just loaded Draw Graphics Sute X5 on a secondary computer running Vista. CDR file shows up correctly in print preview, but bitmap portions of document do not print.
My document palette adds the same colors that are NEVER in my art every time. I swear it's a glitch. The colors are so bizzare. And when I go to delete any of them, it says I can't because they are in use. But they are for sure not being used.
Here's a list of the colors:
Black A0QM, Pantone 142, Black A0QM (1), Black A0QM (2), Black A0QM (3), DIC 2287p* (1), PANTONE 142 (1), Black A0QM (4), PANTONE 142 (2), Black A0QM (5), Black A0QM (6), Black A0QM (7), DIC 2287p* (1) (1), PANTONE 142 (3)
That's the order they are always in. I don't even know where you would get any of those colors and what they would be used for? Except the Pantone of course.
I have a bit of a problem, i'm new to corel draw and i'm trying to create a flyer in 11x17 but when i go into print preview it shows half of my work only. can you adjust the print area on the print preview?
i need these flyer to be printed out in 11x17. would i need to create the document in a regular 8.5x11 and if so how would i increase the size to print out to 11x17?
I have just completed a 25 page document using hundreds of symbols but when I have just tried to publish it to PDF certain symbols do not appear?
I have looked back through the file and found that the ones that do not appear also no longer show the image in the symbol library but when i insert them in to the drawing they show up fine.
I've been trying to edit a certain Corel Draw document. At first it told me I was missing a font. So I closed the Corel Draw and installed the missing font.
But now its not showing the new font in the document. I see the new font in the control panel. And i can type a new text box. But I have 60 pages or so and I dont want to retype all these text boxes.
