CorelDRAW X4 :: Print Merge Slowdown?

Apr 14, 2008

The program slows to a crawl when sending print merge jobs.  Nothing else on the computer does this.

CorelDRAW X5 :: Save A Print Merge File With Merge Data Field

Feb 26, 2013

Why cant I save a cdr job with all the merge fields setup so that next time I open the file I can go straight to 'merge to new document'.

So Ive set up a 10 to view raffle tickets job.  Inserted 20 numerical merge fields, positioned, resized, applied font size color alignment etc etc etc.. Takes ages.....  So then merge to a new document, works nice and I can save it fine. 

There are a hundred reasons why i may have to close the 'master' merge file before the job has been successfully printed.  It may be a repeat print job.

Any which way I really dont get why the live merge data  fields are lost on closing the file.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Text (kerning) With Print Merge?

Oct 8, 2013

I have variable text that I need to print using the Print Merge in CDX6. One field of text requires that the "kerning" be set at +30. No problem in my template. However, after I have create the print merge to a new file, the kerning is gone.

What I am missing that will force the text "kerning" or spacing as in the original?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Print Merge With Excel Database

Apr 17, 2011

A1 field name  is FIRST NAME  B1 is LAST NAME   C1 is ADDRESS    D1 is CITY    E1 is STATE

F1  is ZIP   H1 is name1   I1 is name 2       Fields H1 & I1 could not be inserted.

I entered the above field labels and loaded them with the saved Excel file saved as a CSV (Comma Delimited)

When the First names and last names appear in a document there is too big of a space between the first and last names. The same problem happens when I put city, state, and zip on the same line

in the document.

I  did a concatenate combining A1 &B1  to eliminate the space problem and a concatenate to combine D!, E1, and f1 Fields on one line.     I put the results of the concatenates in seperate columns  H1 & I1 but these 2 column fields could not be inserted for the print merge.

How i can solve the space problem between first and last names and the problem to put city, state and zip on the same line with proper space and punctuation.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Print Merge Booklet 8 Pages?

Feb 20, 2013

I have a problem printing a merge booklet 8 pages. I am printing to a booklet printer. The printer folds and staples the booklet. When I merges the print I cannot “group” the pages to 8. The printer collates all the pages and make one booklet. How do I group the booklet one by one to several booklets of 8 pages. Windows 7 - 64 bit.

CorelDRAW X3 :: Print Merge And Number Formatting

Aug 2, 2011

I am using Corel Draw X3 to create name tags that have room numbers printed on them so people know where they need to go.  I am importing an Excel spreadsheet for the data.  When it does the print merge it is adding a decimal at the end of the room number.  For example, instead of showing room 215, it outputs 215.0 instead.  How can I keep this from happening?  I've tried everything I can think of in Corel and Excel both.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: 64 Bit Print Merge

Jun 22, 2013

I have to make print merge firelds in CDX6.

The problem is that I have not Excel on my PC. Only Open office. I create a csv file but Open Office asks me every time what the Field and Text delimiter have to be - for the Field "," ";" ":" "tab" or "space" and for the Text " or '. After that it asks me to check or not few check boxes. See the picture below.

I tryed few combinations but the same result - Failed to save print merge data!

I dont know what to chek but the biggest problem is that I tryed to save a txt tab delimited on other computer with excel and when I try to print merge after loading the txt file Corel says Failed to save print merge data.

I saw that we can Print merge directly from xls files but I cant find that option in ODCB Data Source. Weird! because I have to do 1100 badjes with different merge fields like country, name, code etc... and if I start to make them by hand it will be forever!

CorelDRAW X4 :: Base Print Merge Method

May 16, 2012

First, I know how to use the base-print merge functions. Right now I have a job to complete with 1000 numbered 3part NCR forms.

I have never attempted this method (print merge), mainly due to my prior equipment limitations; however I am looking at realistically being able to print 100k+ page jobs without going to press/numbering machine (if only I could land about 10x 100k+ page jobs a month--press or no press--). Anyways, when I create this print merged file it takes easily 15 minutes to save (which might be understandable due to the number of pages to generate). BUT when I go to print, Draw closes. No error. No nothing.

When I use the print function in the print merge options, things lag extraordinarily. Also, I have to click on the various options many times for them to be registered. This option is like the prior--causing extremely unstable environments.

Auto numbering is a potential blessing, but this just isn't working for me. Also, is this a known issue? An upgrade to X6 might be prudent anyways; however, X4 is working fine for everything else.

(Running 3 different computers with Windows XP home & pro 32bit, with fairly good computers.)

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: Print Merge With Formatting Options

Dec 5, 2012

I am using CorelDraw to create price labels for my store.  When I merge in the price field for an item I want it to show on the label with the cents in superscript as opposed to using a decimal and full sized cents text.  Is this possible in any version of CorelDraw using the print merge feature?

Keep in mind that I also have the price field in an envelope so that the price takes up the full size allotted on the label whether the price is $1.99 or $999.99.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Laser Engraver Can't Pick Up Cut Lines On Print Merge

May 15, 2012

I am 2 days into using X6 instead of X4 attached to my trotec engraver,  using XP.All goes well with the print to the trotec job control, with it picking up the red vector cut line.

But if I print multiple pages, or use print merge (which is essentially the same thing), the cut line only prints as red on the first page.  From then on the print line is some grey colour and consequently the laser does not pick it up.

Have tried changing colour conversion to the Trotec, but this doesn't have any effect.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Printing Options Not Saved With Print Merge?

Nov 23, 2012

Whenever I perform a PrintMerge the print dialog and its options are reset everytime I leave the print dialog.

Usually you hit print set parameters and hit apply, you now can cancel the dialog and hit print again, your previous settings should still be there. Same goes if you actually print and want to repeat the print process, as long as you dont close the document. This works for normal printing but fails with print merge.

Every time I close the dialog (not the document) all the settings are back to default. This did not happen in X5 and is very annoying since it resets to default even if you actually hit print, forcing you to set the parameters every time.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Print Merge NOT Recognizing Numeric Field From Excel File

Jun 1, 2012

I am having an issue with X6's print merge not recognizing a properly formatted numeric filed from my Excel spreadsheet.  My first issue was that Corel was adding a decimal point after my numbers. This was when they were still formatted as text fields.  (which i still don't understand why, since they were just TEXT fileds) 

I know that the fields need to be "numeric" fields. 

FYI i have ALREADY COMPLETED MY TASK by using an "added" numeric filed that i added IN CorelDraw and then used the "Numeric Field Options" at the bottom of the page to get my number sequence.

However, that is not my question.... my question is: How do i get corel to RECOGNIZE a numeric field AS a numeric field in the first place.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Print Merge Large Files Without Crashing Or Having To Break It Into Digestible Bits

Aug 3, 2011

Just a guess but with 64 bit Coreldraw maybe we would be able to Print Merge large files without crashing or having to break it into digestible bits.

Do vector conversion of complex images.Use Coreldraw like a publishing program,  - kick Indesign

Computer memory is no longer the issue - 32 bit computer programs are.Until then I will stay with X4. run in Windows 7, 64 bit with 12 Gigs RAM.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Make Print Merge Fields Relative In Position To Other Fields?

Oct 1, 2013

Is there any way to make print merge fields relative in position to other fields or to non-variable text.

For example if I am doing address labels and I have fields for City and State:

Their positions are absolute, and the state ends up overwriting the city for long city text, as does the comma.

What I want is for the comma to follow the last letter of the city, and then state to follow that.

And yes, I realize that I can combine all three into one field, but I am asking this as a general usage of the feature. One doesn't always have control over the source.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Print Merge Documents - Many To One Relationships To Flow From Page To Page

Feb 10, 2013

Use merge for standard things like labels.Have a large ongoing project which requires

Lots of Excel data - eg: 6685.excel example.tifcolumns x AZrows x 300 upwards

All rows required to create a book of running information.

If I use a label type approach some rows  have less data making the layout uneven (unsuitable for the project)

Is there a way to merge with a fluid result ?

Ie row one takes up 2 lines Row 2 takes up 5 lines Row 3 takes up 1 line etc

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Gray Lines In PDF Don't Merge?

Feb 18, 2009

Acad2004, Acad2008MEP
Acrobat Pro 6.0 and 8.0 -and- CutePDF Writer

Merge Lines in PC3 'Device and Document Settings Tab' does not work when creating PDF's - but the same CTB works fine if I print to (2) different plotters and (3) different printers. We use gray for backgrounds and use black thicker lines for detail work. For many years we have had to make sure to send the backgrounds (gray colors) to the back (draworder) before plotting. It is not practical to do this every time we plot. I'm willing to use another program to create PDF's but I haven't found one that works.

Photoshop :: CS4 Slowdown After 45mins Or So

May 7, 2009

I am running a Q6600 quad core with 4gb ram, Windows XP Pro 32bit. Video card is Nvidia 8600GT 512mb with latest driver  1.8250 & have latest update of CS4 11.0.1.CS4 works fine for me for 40 - 60 mins or so & then starts to slow down. It gets to the stage where any selection tool is unusable. As ann extreme example, today I had been working on an image, then went to do something else for an hour or so, but left cs4 running with the image open, came back & 1 click of the quick selection tool resulted in a progress bar that took around 30 seconds to complete.  If I shutdown cs4 & restart its fine again for a while. So it seems like some sort of memory leak.I have noted also that the enable Open GL option is greyed out. I tried resetting CS4 preferrences, but still greyed out. I had previously tried the DisallowOpenGL Windows_on patch from adobe, but found it made no difference so ran the DisallowOpenGLWindows_Off patch.I cant honestly remember if the openGL option was always greyed out or notI know there are lots of CS4 slow threads around, but I hadnt come across a thread on my version of the problem, where cs4 works ok for a while & then slows down.

Photoshop :: Slowdown Under RGB Color Mode?

For some unknown reason i get a slowdown when using RGB color mode, brushes, even 1px sized brushes trail behind the cursor and makes it rather slow and rather problematic to draw and paint.When i change to any of the other modes, greyscale, cmyk, etc; this slowdown doesn't occur at all which results in no slowdown.
 
Yesterday, painting with 1000px brushes in rgb mode didn't even give a noticeable slowdown which is very weird. So the issue has to have happend today.

Photoshop :: Trial Performance : Lag / Slowdown

Nov 14, 2008

After eagarly installing the CS4 extended trial (on vista x64...) (and yes I should have seen it coming, as it does with every new release...) I was extremely dissapointed to find that, well, it doesn't really work.

It loads fine, images load, but as soon as I try and use a tool, zoom, scroll, paint, etc... I get a huge lag/slowdown. For example, rotating the canvas becomes slow and horribly jumpy, brushes lag a few seconds behind my cursor....

I have so far only heard from one other user who is experiencing a similar problem and I cannot understand it. My PC is surely up to standard (see sig links for details) and the only thing I can think of is that vista 64 is working its usual magic. My drivers are up to date and I've played around with the RAM and open GL settings in both ati catalyst and CS4 but have got nowhere.
