How to publish Corel Draw Graphics to PDF

To save a document as a PDF file


  1. Click File } Publish to PDF.

  2. From the PDF style list box, choose one of the following:


    • PDF for document distribution — enables JPEG bitmap image compression, and is best used for general document delivery. These documents can include bookmarks and hyperlinks and can be printed on a laser or desktop printer.


    • PDF for prepress — enables ZIP bitmap image compression, embeds fonts, and preserves spot color options best designed for high-end quality printing. Consult the service bureau for their preferred settings.


    • PDF for the Web — enables JPEG bitmap image compression, compresses text, and includes hyperlinks for publishing the document to the World Wide Web.


    • PDF for editing — enables LZW compression, embeds fonts, and includes hyperlinks, bookmarks, and thumbnails. It displays the PDF file with all the fonts, with all of the images at full resolution, and with hyperlinks, so that you can edit the file at a later date.


    • PDF/X-1— enables ZIP bitmap image compression, converts all objects to CMYK, and preserves spot color options. This style contains the basic settings for prepress and is the standard format used for ad distribution.



    • PDF/X-1a — This style is a subset of PDF/X-1. It enables ZIP bitmap compression and converts objects to CMYK, but does not allow encryption or use of OPI references.


    • PDF/X-3 — This style is a superset of PDF/X-1a. It allows both CMYK and non-CMYK data (such as Lab or Grayscale) in the PDF file.
