  1. Different approach to design

    This isn't a Corel vs Illustrator problem. Tell your designer to quit saving AI files with PDF data, then you'll rarely see an AI file larger than a few megabytes.
  2. Best vinyl for temporary museum wall wraps.

    I agree with the recommendations for Avery 2611. And everyone suggesting laminate is nuts. You don't need laminate on an indoor job that's meant to last only a few months. The only reason to waste money on laminate is if it makes the install job easier, which is only a factor if you're printing...
  3. Substitute spot colors in Acrobat Pro?

    Also, anyone who takes artwork files from clients and sets them up for printing should learn as much as they can about Acrobat's Preflight Checks and Preflight Fixups. You'll be amazed how much time and reprinting costs you can save by automatically checking client files for all the common...
  4. Substitute spot colors in Acrobat Pro?

    Yes, you can do this in Acrobat with a Preflight Fixup. Here's an example of one of Acrobat's built-in fixups that renames Pantone spot colours, similar to what you're trying to do. You might need some knowledge of regular expressions.
  5. Need Help transperancies question

    Transparent CMYK layers blend differently than RGB, so if you want the closest possible representation of the RGB file, you need to flatten the transparency before converting to CMYK. If you want to experiment with RGB/CMYK transparencies to better understand how they work, InDesign allows you...
  6. Would you trace as is or clean up

    I wouldn't have cleaned it up. It looks like it was originally meant to have wobbly lines.
  7. Need Help How to delete part of a raster image in illustrator after creating clipping mask?

    Object > Crop Image is the correct answer, as mentioned by Boudica and The Vector Doctor. Just reiterating because there are so many wrong answers in this thread.
  8. Free comma punctuation checker?

    Maybe give this famous book on punctuation a read?
  9. Hmm....not finding this one

    Experts estimate there are at least 50,000–60,000 typeface families, comprising a total of over 300,000 fonts. This includes both free and commercial fonts, but does not include alternate file formats of the same font, nor does it include fonts made for private purposes that have not been...
  10. Adobe VIP, ETLA or CLP

    https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/buying-programs/pdfs/vip-program-guide-en.pdf Here's a guide to the VIP program. It says there's no volume discount for 1–9 licenses, but there would be a discount for an extended commitment (2 or 3 years). It also says the VIP program is for Teams...
  11. Help with this please

    Times New Roman Bold, modified with an "engraved" effect in the vertical stem.
  12. Sales tax question

    The physician either doesn't understand how sales tax and resale exemptions work, or they're trying to pull a fast one on you. Resale exemptions are for things that are being resold to a business's clients, so that only the "end user" pays sales tax. Physicians can probably claim resale...
  13. Color changes when opening file.

    I asked to see the original untouched file from your client, and the file with the added cut lines that you printed from. Those are the two files you mentioned in your original post, and they are the files most relevant to the problem.
  14. Color changes when opening file.

    Thanks, but it would be more useful to see the two files you mentioned in your original post.
  15. Color changes when opening file.

    Nope, never seen this particular problem before. If you want help solving it, post your files for us to look at.
  16. Postscript Type 1 fonts in CorelDRAW 2019

    Well, yes, Windows 98 supported PS Type 1 (as does Windows 10), but it wasn't the best choice for teasing someone about expecting a long-obsolete font format to work in the latest software. Windows 3.1 was the first version of Windows that supported TrueType fonts, which means that PostScript...
  17. Postscript Type 1 fonts in CorelDRAW 2019

    Have you tried this software?
  18. number sequence

    This is dead simple to do in Illustrator. Just step and repeat a text box, thread them together, then paste your list of serialized numbers. If you need more detailed instructions, here's a link to a tutorial I wrote a while back...
  19. Need Help Brain Fart.........................

    That's far too offensive language for my grandparents, who will gasp and scold the offender for "stepping on a duck".
  20. Contour Cut - Smoother lines?

    Since you're using Illustrator, it's worth noting that Illustrator's Image Trace and the Path > Simplify seem to be getting smarter and better with every new update.
