Okay, I know this has been hashed to death - but the solutions provided in previous posts simply do not work for me.
Background - I've been using Coreldraw X3 for about 5 years and our shop just upgraded to X6 this year. Haven't had problems with the CutContour prior to this. EPS or PDF files always worked. We're using 4.6.0 of VersaWorks.
I've brought in the Roland Versaworks palette built into X6 as some others indicated that this is the only way to get it to work. Old CutContour paths from our X3 files wouldn't work. Exporting EPS files DOES work so I do have a workaround if I have to, but no matter what I do, saving the exact same file as a PDF does not register as a true CutContour in VW. I really prefer using PDF over EPS due to filesize difference.
Now I want to state that I HAVE been able to cut stuff with this same CutContour spot color I'm now having issues with. I haven't made changes (to my knowledge!) so I'm at a complete loss. There is something broken here but I don't know how to diagnose this as from what I can tell all the settings I have set up in both my PDF and EPS exports should be correct. I'm not converting spot colors to cmyk, and I've been using the default Prepress pdf setting which has always given me the best luck.
One of our other machines is running X6 and this works just fine - we tried comparing settings but from what we can tell they're the same.
I've attached photos of my pdf settings (which are just the prepress defaults so I shouldn't really need to do this), maybe there's one little check box I've missed. Anywhere else I should be looking?
