View 2 RepliesI've just converted an A3 double sided file containing 100% text in 22 varying languages. The Xara a/w looks perfect but when I view the .PDF convertion it has added squares with a cross inside to several of the foriegn languages where there should be spaces. I've tried varying the .pdf convertor set-ups but to no avail.

In all cases, all I get is a small 3.5 mb file. When I click on the file, i get a spinning astrix that spins for 5 minutes then times out.
I was going to buy Xara Designer Pro 7 upgrade tonight, but since this happened, I'm holding off till I know that the software works on my system
System specs: Win 7 Home Premium, 8 gb ram, ATI Radeon 3750 512 mb ram.
Is there a way to create a .avi file in Photo & Graphic Designer 7?
I want to create an animation (not an animated .gif) that I can then include in a movie. I see how to set the properties for an AVI file but when I try to export the animation, I do not see the otption to save my file as a .avi. Am I missing something or is there a better alternative for creating an animation that can be included in a movie file?
I am wondering if Xara supports layers in the same way as my other graphics programs. I am able to bring a bitmap into a layer over another bitmap layer and by applying a particular mode, lets say Overlay or Soft Light, it will change the appearance of the new layer. By doing this I build up new designs for digital papers.

On each start of the program I have the update check what does take time...
I am working on a graphic design project - a print publication for a client. The original Word document that is the basis for the report contains footnotes. Insofar as I am able to do so, I would like to retain my client's structure, including the footnotes. Is this feasible with P&GD 6 or version 7? I cannot find any reference to "footnote" in the help provided with my installation.
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhy the PDF manual that comes on the Xara CD cannot be read on my iPad2. I have tried both Ibooks and GoodREader. Images and pages display, but the text is rendered as blurry black smudges. It's such a shame since I like to have my documentation beside my screens and use my monitors for palettes and the main window. Is it a problem with my copy and is there a way to get a working PDF?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Xara Graphics and Photo Designer 6. I've mainly used it for web graphics but now I am doing some print work with it.
I want to set up the page so that it is 300 dpi. Then design the graphic and then export it.
However I am confused on how to do this.
It appears the way Xara is set up you design the graphic and then during export you tell it how many DPI you want it.
The problem is if I select 300 dpi during export, the resulting export is much too big.
I am sure I am doing something wrong. It seems to me there must be a way to set up the page before creating the graphic to 300 dpi (or whatever dpi you plan to export it in... right?)
I have the latest version of Photo and Graphic Designer 9, and I have two .eps files that I cannot open because when I try to open them directly or import I get an error message that says that there is an error detected in the EPS file at line ####. These are files that I purchased and downloaded, and presumably they should not have errors. I don't have other software that is meant to open EPS files, so I cannot verify personally, but I do have reason to assume they are valid files. I saw this post that mentioned the same type of problem -

When ever I export to PDF from Designer Pro 7 a graphic ends up in the PDF file that isn't any where in the Xara doc. It happens on most files exported from Xara but not all. It also happens on both my laptop and my desktop PC. I'm pretty sure it used to happen in WD6 so it may stem from there.
I've attached a PDF exportd from Xara, you shouild hopefully see two black.. um.. cartoonish feet / foot prints. God knows where they came from, I must have imported them at somepoint. You should also notice they only appear on the first page of a document.
I've tried searching for just outlines in Designer pro but nothing.
Is there an .INI file or cache file I can clear?
I haven't tried a re-install yet as it happens on two PC's so can't see it being that.
I noticed that when exporting a trifold to PDF, that a transparent PNG file contained in the design, actually has an opaque background, not transparent. I have used Commercial Printing as the export mode and played a little with custom settings.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just tried to export a page as a pdf for the first time since upgrading to windows 8 and I'm getting a strange problem. In the image I have a text string which has a bevel, contour and drop shadow. When this exports it is surrounded by a black box. This also happens in another area with 2 circles both with shadows and again this is surrounded by the black boxes. I had previously exported an identical poster from designer pro X on windows XP without a problem.
So far I have tried exporting it at different dpi settings and in pdf 1.4 to 1.8 but not pdf/X yet.
how to use Photo and Graphics Designer 2013.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI had no problem working with and feathering masks in Designer Pro 9. However the upgrade to Pro X9 has made "improvements" that I cannot figure out.
I have a photo in which I want to blur and darken the background while leaving the subject person clear and bright.
I used the mask painter tool to mask out the person, so far so good. I used the picture editing tools to blur and de-bright the unmasked portion. So far, so good.
The result had (of course) too hard an edge between the masked and unmasked portions of the image.
How can I soften (feather) the edge of the mask? OR how else should I be trying to accomplish this task?
To repeat, I could do this just fine in Pro 9, but in Pro X9 I just can't seem to find out how to do it.
Is there a simple way to make a cone shape in Xara Photo and Graphics designer 2013? I need to make a cone that can be extruded and shaped sort of like this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIf I create a text object, then copy and duplicate, how do make the width of the duplicate text smaller whilst maintaining the length of the object. I have worked out that I can use borders around text to create a smaller version however the effect is not suffice.
Effectively what I want to achieve is the 'feather' effect that reduces the width but retain the overall shape and dimension without any distortions.
What do I need to do to get my clipart to work?
It is there in the directory, and I can see it in xara 6 as well. But I go to use it and it says it isn't installed and that I should install from help menu.
I have tried so many tings and recently I tried changing the permissions, still no go.
It's weird cause I also own Xara Web designer 6 and they open in that program fine...
I used Graphics & Photos 2013, I update the software yesterday and if I save my job as PDF, the transparency done on a picture is inverted.Currently I removed the transparency but it is not the solution.Issue appear only when I create a PDF file. By creating a JPG file it works.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wonder if PaGD7 could be used for a short, letter-sized 48 page grayscale booklet with two column text and images on nearly every page (at 300DPI) and multiple fonts. Can the software handle this or I would be asking too much out of it?
I seem unable to find an automatic page numbering option, which would be necessary for a print publication. All other needed functions, including accurate kerning and baseline controls are there. I found some old mentions of auto page numbering in old threads but no positive answer. It would be a nice feature to have, assuming the program can handle such filesizes.
I bought PSE 11 for Mac a few months ago, and have finally been able to spend some time examining the features. However, I noticed that my "Sketch" filters do not include the comic or graphic novel options. Were these two omitted from the Mac-version? Or do I have a faulty copy of the program?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using P&G 2013 to generate SVG floorplans for some data visualization on one of our servers, and I've used the product in the past with no issues at all.
However, I have a file that I cannot export to SVG. I have narrowed down the issue to one layer, which is composed entirely of about 1600 simple rectangles with dashed lines. I have also tried using a standard solid line for the shapes, with no luck.
When the export process starts, the program becomes unresponsive, and the status dialog shows it very slowly prepairing to export. When it switches to exporting the document, the counter never moves past 0%.
After an hour or two of not showing any progress, windows auto forces the program to close. Before the program is killed, task manager shows P&G using 100% of one core, and the memory usage increases up until the auto kill.
To try to determine if it was some layer properties causing the issue, I moved a small subset (maybe 15 - 20%) of the rectangles to a new .xar file and tried to export, with the same behavior.
I have Xara Extreme 5 and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium. These, plus Windows Live Photo Gallery, do most of what I want: design my own personal & simple websites and process photos, mostly to use on my websites. I build panoramas quite a lot (generally three to five & sometimes more photos).
WD7 Prem does have a pano builder but appears to be a cut down version (How cut down?) and recommends upgrading. Unlike Microsoft ICE (part of Windows Live Essentials) it requires the photos to be in the correct order and may be able to handle fewer photos. It does do a nice job of what it does. What capabilities does the upgraded version of Xara Pano have and is the upgrade the same as that in Pro?
Where does Photo & Graphic Designer (& pro) fit? I can find other comparisons not including WD7 Premium.
Do the Pro versions include anything like Photosynth - allowing you to take, say, 30 or more photos including close-ups and to synthesis all so you can pan an object and zoom in/out on specific areas? For example, I would like to photograph a gully and zoom in on various rock art features and flora & fauna in the gully and to use the finished study on my website?
I just bought Designer Pro 7 and I was wondering if the following plugins will work with it and how do I get them into the program:
Alien Skin Xenofex 2
Eye Candy 4000
I'm just learning the program (upgraded from Xtreme 5 Pro).
My 59-year old eyes mutinied on the dark skin of Designer Pro 6. how to change the settings back to the original light-gray theme.
If I upgrade to 7 is the same option available? How would I do it?
What is the easiest way to open/import SVG files in Xara Designer Pro?
It's funny you can export as SVG but I cannot find SVG format when importing graphics.
My current workaround is to open SVG files in Illustrator, select, copy, jump over to Xara and paste as enhanced metafile. But what if I don't have Illustrator?
does the new xarapro have a linked feature for placing 300 dpi images into a 50-60 pages? If not, is it even possible to have that many pages with those numbers of large size pictures? Just wanted to know if others have done such a thing. Also if possible, can a large document be divided into number of xara files and then exported as pdf and put together in adobe acrobat to make a large output for printers?

It works as I would expect in Designer Pro X.Is there a setting I've missed somewhere?
