I can't find any info.
What I'd like is to set the draw mode to paint inside for a selected path through a script instead of clicking twice on the toolbar button or hit Shift+D twice.
When you publish to pdf in X5, you have the option to change settings and save them. Where is this file located?
I upgraded to Windows 7 and forgot to write down the settings I saved. So, I want to go to my backup and find the file(s) that stores the custom settings for publish to pdf.
I have a layer with some blurred spots. I want them to glow. I have a colored background (light brown). For some reason, when I set my layer to Color Dodge it does nothing.
But when I make a group and set it to Color Dodge, then put my layer inside that, it glows like freakin crazy. Can anyone explain why this is? Should it work both ways? Is there some magic to groups?
Is there a way to export a document @ a different resolution than 72DPI? I know I can set the horizontal/vertical scale to save it at a larger dimension at 72DPI, but I need the file to be actual size and 300DPI.
This is part of a larger process, and I'd prefer to do the entire process from Illustrator, and not have to open the files in Photoshop to change the size/resolution.
Also, is it possible to change the color mode to CMYK or Greyscale for the exported Jpeg?
Create a new document in X5. Choose CMYK as the "Primary Color Mode" in the "Create a new document" dialog box.
Draw a rectangle. The Eyedropper Tool tells me it is RGB 0, 0, 0. Shouldn't it be CMYK 0, 0, 0,100? Is there a simple way to fix this to default to CMYK?
I'd like to export a design as a PNG image. The document color mode was set as CMYK and I've only used CMYK colors but when I go to export, that option is not available (as you can see in the picture).
Can't .png images be exported with a CMYK color mode? If I export as .jpg then there is no problem but in this case it has to be saved as a png image.
In previous versions of CorelDraw, I could set the default color palette for the fountain fill. But in X6 it doesn't seem to hold. Especially for the second color. It keeps going back to CMYK (even when color management is set to RGB) and when I click on palettes in the fountain fill box, it defaults to Pantone, so that I must click through many options to get back to my palette.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got X6. I can't get my default color mode to save. I go to options, document,general and change it from CMYK to RGB click document to save styles for all but it doesn't save it. When I export I have to manually change CMYK to RGB and the resolution every time. In other versions once I set it it was always there. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Wx Tools have "set DPI", "downsample", "resize" but not "change color mode".
I need to publish multiple files that are in the Named Plot Style Mode in Black and White instead of color. Is there a way to do that in 2012? In previous versions it wasn't a problem. Short of opening every single file and doing the convertpstyles I can't seem to figure out a quick way to do it. Is there an option somewhere that I can change to make the Publish use the Color Plot Style Mode so that it will recognize the monocrome.ctb file?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been working on an image where I have multiple layers and different blending modes assigned. When I assign a multiply blending mode for example it takes the white background out of one of my images. When I place the image in indesign the blending mode is no longer applied and the white background is on the image.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a custom batch exporter, and at one point I need to set the crop box (inside an iteration of the current user-selection). Here's the relevant code:
var maxRect = getMaxRect ( objRef, overlappingItems );
alert ( maxRect.left.toString ( ) + " " + maxRect.top.toString ( ) + " " + maxRect.width.toString ( ) + " " + maxRect.height.toString ( ) );
doc.cropBox = [ maxRect.left, maxRect.top, maxRect.left + maxRect.width, maxRect.top + maxRect.height ];
alert ( "Crop box set" );
getMaxRect is a function that calculates the maximum bounding box between the current object ref and a group of overlapping items that I've already computed. The alert on the second line gives a nice set of numbers, so I'm fairly confident that the code thus far is ok. (In addition, I've inspected the crop marks subsequent to the execution of the above lines, and it looks all right.)
Here's the thing. Once doc.cropBox (doc being the active document) is set, it seems like the script execution simply halts. The crop box is actually set in the active document, but it seems to stop after setting this. I never see the second alert, and I don't see any error messages either.
I want to continue working in outline mode, using a template while in isolation mode, but the template disappears. Does that mean I'd have to copy the template to the group or layer I'm working in?

I am having the following problem in one of the pc's in my company: Whenever we publish to PDF, the drawings comes out in color with an error message that says "Incompatible or missing plot style".
The plot style (*.ctb file) is correctly installed. It also can't be incompatible because the rest of the office, with the exact same installed software, uses it without a problem.
The funny thing is that when one plots to pdf (not publish), the drawing comes out fine. Funnier than that is that when I modify the publish options to publish to plotter named in page setup (which is the plot-to-pdf that worked before), it will have the same "incompatible" crap-of-a-problem and print in color.
Finally, I tried to publish the exact same files with the exact same ctb file from another computer and there is no problem.
The problem happens with both AutoCAD 2012 and AutoCAD 2013.
I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe project is a photo montage. It was 4-color, now must become 2 colors. So I've changed each of the original 4-color photos (jpg and eps) into separate psd files (as grayscale/duotone/montage-and assigned it One pantone color)
In a new psd "montage" file, I plan to place each photo on its own layer, adjust tints, transparency, etc, to create one new montage/flattened.I'm not sure which color mode is best when setting up this new file, CMYK or grayscale?
Once the PS doc is done, the job will be saved as a PDF for 2-color printing.I want to insure the 2 pantone colors separate properly at press.
I use CorelDraw Windows 7. Everything was fine for 2 days. Now, you can not publish to PDF from. We use CorelDraw for 3 years at the PDF edition for my work. Now the pdf is empty by opening acrobat and zoom is set to 5603%. I get this error when I try to change zoom to 100% "document (14)."
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a multi page document that contains links to various large tiffs. The filesize of cdr is decent to work with and it preserves them until I publish it to pdf .
Any changes made to document after this operation will increase the document file (at the next save) like the images are embedded , not linked. However, in the links panel still show up as links, but properties of images mention their full resolution instead of a thumbnail size, and working space enhanced view show that.
I tried for test with one page and only one image and confirmed this behaviour.I couldn't find any solution to this and I keep closing the document after publishing and open it again for changes.
When I use the Publish to PDF, it either creates a PDF file that is corrupt, or Corel itself crashes (Windows 7 64) give me a "this program has stopped working" error.
I tried uninstalling / reinstalling but it still does the same thing.
I'm using CorelDraw X4 on a Windows Vista Home Basic System. Trying to "Publish to PDF" produces empty PDF Files, with a page size of 0 mm x 0 mm. The original File has a layout of (German) A4 and a textbox with "Test".
There are no error messages.Even using a PDF Printer (FreePDF XP) doesn't produce a file, but gaves the error message
"%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: -0,15789 ]%%GhostScript Error 1. Error, no PDF file produced! (False)".
I am a musician doing the CD cover of my band's 3rd CD.
On the CD back I have images, text and the usual barcode. How can I publich to pdf from X5 so my images keep CMYK and my barcodes keep Black & White? My CD label gave this comment after the pdf I sent them:
"I think you do not understand that the barcodes and codes in general HAVE TO BE IN BLACK/WHITE. You cannot just integrate it in the 4 colour artwork as if it is a picture."

I am attempting to publish a pdf of a booklet I've been working on. It is currently set up with facing pages.
I want to publish it as a pdf, but so that it maintains the booklet format. That is, when it opens as a pdf, one should see both left and right hand pages, as one would browsing through a regular book.
How does one do this with Corel? I know once one has published, one can open the pdf and change the view setting to 'two page display.' I want this to happen automatically when the viewer opens the document though.
i have a problem with corel draw x4.
So: i create a document and publish it as a pdf. That works.

I am working in CorelDraw X3 and when I publish to PDF they are coming out blank? I have made many before and they are fine, I know to position it in the page, but still nothing? I am using Windows 7? By doing it through the 'prepare to bureau service' they work fine except the file size is massive?

When I publish something to PDF (in order to send it to a professional presser) the cutting lines are set on the 'bleed edge' instead of excluding the neccesary bleed margin of 3mm. In other words I am not able to provide any PDF document with a bleed margin which is (obviously) very frustrating for the pressing company as well as for me.
- In Publish to PDF > Settings > Pre-press I checked the cutting-line box ( I work with a dutch version so excuse me if the the right translations aren't used. Check attached file for the settings).
- When I check the box 'Aflopen' (just above the cutting line box) the PDF file turns out white.
