PDF output setting for CorelDraw ??

[Biggermens]

Hello everyone

I been ripping my eyeballs out trying to export a pdf with cut lines, and the cut lines are not showing up in versaworks,
Anyone know the settings to export PDF from corel so the cut lines show up ??
I done it before and now its not working

Make sure you don't have convert spot colors checked when you export

I have had the same issue, try converting the image to bitmap (not with cutline) & then exporting it.
Also, I'm sure you know the outline color needs to be a spot color named "CutContour" & it needs to be set as a hairline thickness.

Edited to elaborate; If the print file is vector, you don't need to convert to bitmap in Corel, but if the print file is an image you imported into Corel, sometimes you have to convert to bitmap in Corel & then export with the vector "CutContour" outline.

Make sure you're running Versaworks in administrator mode!

Thanks everyone for your help,

I do run my versaworks as administrator
I made sure all my colours are name right etc.. they work if i export it as a EPS, I usually work with EPS but when i have a very large file it wont stop ripping at 20%
I don't it before years ago but cant remember how i did it, i guess its part of getting old hehe
I gave up on the PDF for now and went back to EPS, reduces to 80% and up to 120% in versawork, so far so good, i have one part left to rip the biggest one of them all

Thanks

Just don't have it convert spot colors. When it converts, it loses the name needed for the RIP software to recognize it's the cut line.

I made sure of that and still no go

Also make sure output color is native.
