I agree, unless you mean 'please can we not have it'? in which case I don't agree.
But yes vital especially for a document that is well endowed with graphics as most things produced in Xara will be.

PDF outbut bugs:
I found I cannot output spot colors on separate plates (they come out as CMYK);
Black overprint in print options has no effect;
not even fill or line overprint in imagesetting menu appears to be working.

I made the tests using pdf/x exports, here is the test file used.

Anyway the pro version is impressive

ciao

Antony...

How on earth did you manage to keep quiet when you knew that some of the things people were bitching about would be fixed this soon!

You must have the patience of a saint and the discretion of a priest!

My congratulations to all at Xara for making an already great product into a truly awesome one, and especially to you for not letting this truly beautiful cat out of the bag!

But, I have to say, my prediction came true: I said I had no doubt that Gary Priester was already working on tutorials to help with the new features!

I had my first crash of Xara Xtreme Pro.

I created 5 text areas as columns and put some "Lorem Ipsum" text to work with as I learn how to postion and resize the text areas.

I was attempting to make all the columns the same width by using the Selector Tool and entering the value into the width of selection text field on the Toolbar. I misstyped and enterd 10 in place of the 130 I intended to enter. The cursor became and hourglass shape and after about 5 minutes the program closed itself.

Ohh man, that is trully devastating

I suggest you see immediate medical treatment to avoid post traumatic symptoms

Ok, I have another one:

1. It's great that you can add pages but emm.... how do I delete pages?
I've tried to find the options but didn't find it in the buttons pallete. So
that's a bug already. Even if it does exists somewhere it should be simple
enought to find it.

2. Why isn't it possible to set different sizes to different pages? Seems like
a very obvious thing to me. What I want to create a brochoure with a
bigger cover?

HI Soquili can you reproduce this crash? If yes then can you provide specific steps on reproducting it or perhaps an example file with which this problem can be recreated?
