Bug + workaround: error when generating pdf or ps files

October 28, 2014, 10:45 am

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Also, this happened to me with one particular cdr file.

Problem: when trying to print to pdf using CorelDRAW X7 from a given cdr file, or when trying to use a ps file generated from this same cdr file, this error would appear in a log file instead of the pdf:

%%[ Error: stackunderflow; OffendingCommand: astore ]%%

Stack:

[-null- -null- -null- -null-]

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

After a couple of hours I narrowed it down to a syntax error in the ps code that CorelDRAW X7 generates. Instead of something like this:

0.0000 0.4000 0.0000 0.0000 create_cmyk_color set_solid_fill

the code does not have the four numbers at the beginning and this is what gets produced:

create_cmyk_color set_solid_fill

which is wrong. My conclusion is that any non-CYMK color was not getting written into the ps file.

 

Workaround: very simply I changed all of the non-CYMK colors into CYMK.

Straightening a wine label

Hi Gurus,

Is there any way in Photo Paint to flatten a photo of a wine label?

I saw a tutorial about doing it in PS using the Distort Spherical tool. It doesn't
work great, but I don't see a comparable tool in PP.
The mesh warp doesn't do it very well, if at all, that I can tell.

I imagine that even if it can be done, it would be very time consuming, but I thought
I'd check here before I gave up.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Have installed CorelDraw X6, runned all updates on a Win 7 pro 64bit.

When I prit to any primter I get first a white paper and then a paper with this error:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: -0,15789
STACK:

 

 

I have attached a file printed to CutePDF.

Printing works fine from other programs like word, powerpoint and Paint shop Pro. Even with images imported.

If I hit F8 when starting CorealDRAW X6 and make an new document, draw some objects, printing works, but when adding an image, I get this error. If I create a new file, draw some lines. I get this error. I can not export to PDF either. i tried to install Cute PDF writer, same error.

I also tried to remove and reinstall CorelDRAW, removing user preferanses, cleaning the register, restarting computer and reinstall, still same error, only in CorelDRAW.

creating an underbase for screen printing

Hi there, new to the forum, hoping someone maybe able to help... I want to create an under-base for one of my graphics in preparation for screen printing.I have had a reply in another forum explaining how to do it in AI -

quote:  haven't used corel in many years but i would approach it the same way i do using illustrator. i add a stroke around the object to create the choke. i do a 0.5pt stroke which gives me a choke of 0.25pt (by default the stroke spreads from the edge of the object, 0.25pt inside object and 0.25pt outside).
i make the stroke colour 'global white' (not a spot colour) so it knocks out. or i turn the stroke into an object and subtract it from the main object.

 

Can anyone translate this process in Corel for me? For the record the underbase needs to replicate the image but very slightly inside the original lines if that makes sense.

 

Many thanks, Jade

Dots replacing font when printed

Hi!

We have been using CorelDraw x5 and x6 at work. We have now updated to x7.

We now have a problem when printing documents. Some of the fonts we used (that were working fine in x5 and x6), started showing up as dots when printed at our production center. The only way to stop that is to convert to curves. But it never happened in x5 or x6.

I tried changing the postscript options in the printing windows to automatically convert the text to curves but it didn't seem to work.

Here is a screenshot of what's printed at the production center (top) and what's should be printed (printed on a regular laserjet (bottom). Please note that this problem never occured with the previous versions and no updates were made to the production printer.

I can provide the Corel too.

EDIT: It's not just this font, it happens with multiple fonts.

I am trying to figure out how to find if there are any spot colors in the CDR file using CQL

I am able to find Fountains by during this
ActivePage.Shapes.FindShapes(Query:="@fill.type = 'fountain'")

But how do I write the query to see if there are any spot colors, pantones, cmyk, rgb, lab, etc.
So tried this and it does not work
ActivePage.Shapes.FindShapes(Query:="@colors.find('cmyk')")

Any ideas?

 

Thanks ,

Automatic superscript for registered TM (®), copyright, etc. (Corel X7)

I do a lot of copy/paste from plain text documents coming from contributors to a catalog we are designing. Many of these paragraphs contain the trademark and copyright symbols throughout the paragraphs. When I paste these paragraphs into Corel X7, the symbols come in as normal height text. I would like to have Corel automatically convert those symbols to superscript. I've tried the QuickCorrect, but that did not seem to work.

Does anyone know of a way to have these symbols converted without me having to go through the text dialog for each and every one?

Thank you in advance.

X7 CorelDraw document will not save

Hello,

We installed X7 about a week ago and for the third time now I was working in a Draw document and out of the blue without warning the Save option was grayed out. I went along for about an hour thinking it was auto saving but then got worried so I tried closing the document so I could re-open it but it would not close. So I couldn't save, I couldn't close the document and I couldn't close Corel. It would not respond but I could work in the document just fine. So I copied the entire document to the clipboard then I opened a new document, pasted and saved. I then Ctrl, Alt & Delete and opened Task Manager and then closed Corel. So after closing Corel I then tried opening the original Corel Document to find I lost the past hour of changes. I then tried finding the other file I saved to the desktop and it was not there. This has happened on three different days. Running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Thoughts?

When I import my artwork into the software and attempt to print, the printer output shows Four artwork thus allowing the printer to print four artworks on same page of my film, for this, I require only one of the artwork, as such, I am forced to cut one out to prepare my Cliche in the exposure unit, during this process, the artwork is not aligned properly on the cliche, thus causing the image to be slanted on the cliche, in which during final printing on my pen, the job appears to be bending ...Can someone assist me in finding out why four artwork is being printed on the film instead of one, if I had just one, then it will be easier to place the film on the cliche allowing it to align properly without having a need to cut anything out....

PLT file not transfering to cnc

I am wondering if the coding was changed from X3 to X7 when saving as a .plt. I use the .plt files to post to an older CNC router, and after upgrading to X7, the .plt files cannot be read by the cnc software.  Has anyone had issues with .plt files? I downloaded a trial version of X6 and it worked, so the change had to occur between version X6 and X7. I wish I would have purchased seats of X6. Now I am over 30 days and Corel wants to charge for every support call. I guess I shouldn't have assumed it was ok.

The X7 program loaded ok and the students have been designing. However, now they need to output the drawings, and I am having problems. 

Any help would be appreciated.

The macro code below comes from Sub GDG_John. I modified it to find all the ® symbols and change them to "Arial" font. Works great.

I want it to change the "character position" to "superscript" instead of change the font.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Font not displaying characters

A TT font that I have used for many years is not displaying the " and ' symbols - just the rectangle that is used when a font does not have that symbol. They display fine in all other programs, and they were fine in X6. BTW, this font happens to display more unusual symbols, but not the apostrophe and quotation marks. This font does have these symbols, and like I said they are fine in all other programs.

Any ideas? I'm on Win 8.1, 64-bit

I'm a bit frustrated with the lack of backwards compatibility. I have quite a few old Corel CDR files from 2002 and 2003. Can't open them in X7. Could not open them in X4 either. When opening these files open all I get is a blank untitled document. Is there any way that I could open and resave these files in the new format or have I new lost them all for good?
