Hi,
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:
So really, this post is to report the bug but also ask for a bit of help.
All the above said...does anyone have a 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.
My time is running out very, very, quickly. Two weeks to graduation (hopefully)! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian
