Hi Gary,

Could you please be more specific on these two issues? Maybe they have bugzilla numbers or you can point out separate threads that discuss these issues? I'm new to this forum

A bug has been filed with Xara.

Hi Mega - we have discussed here the black & white/grayscale problem when taking these files to a printer.

As Gary has asked, do you see a fix for these problems any time in the near future?

At this point, I see no reason to upgrade from XX5 - or even 4, for that matter - until this issue is fixed as almost everything I do is in black & white/gray scale.

There is a thread here that discusses the issues - and we have been discussing this issue for some 2 years at least, both here and with Xara support and the "fix" to use someone else s program just does not make sense to me.

Tks for the help - jb

Sorry to inconvenience you, but I would like to point out another bug of pdf export with spot colors.

It would be nice if pdf output could match separations as in "show printer Colors"

I figured out what was wrong and fixed this issue. The version of the PDF filter is 4,0,0,8. Thanks for your cooperation!

You're welcome

May I ask what this means for us users?
Is there any possibility, that there will be a small update containing the fix?

thx.in.advance:maak.

Me again.

Another two months passed, but still no info about a fix or minor update.
So, Xara, what are you going to do about this issue?
Version 6 is of very limited use for print, without color profile embedding, eh?

grmpf:maak.

Me again... again.

There was exactly the same issue in the german MAGIX version of Designer Pro 6.
They made an update to version 6.1.3.14789 dated 17th December.

I would very much appreciate to receive such an update for my (and your) original english Xara version.

What's going on in there with you, Xara?
I can't believe it takes months for you to take notice.
The program is still almost useless for pre-print.

Please, fix it!

bye:maak.

Sorry maybe I am missing understanding your request here, but please have a look at the .png file. If you go advance in the PDF export and under the General tab and you select PDF/X -1a the go to the Pre-press tab and tick the box - Embed Colour profile, then go up to the top box and select - Custom. Now browse for your custom profile which you have placed in your windows area under _ C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color see attachment!

Hi Albacore,

thank you for your post, but I'm afraid you're missing my first post here.
I did exactly what you described.

Thanks anyway.

bye:maak.
