Re: Export to PDF problem
I exported your file as PDF/X3 and the file size is 52MB. Consider yourself lucky. ;)
Re: Export to PDF problem
I don't have issues, either.
But...I personally would make a hi-res PNG bitmap version of the both the pearls and diamonds and place them around the border and gold circle instead of all the vector pieces-parts. It's gonna PDF a lot easier and print identically. Design-wise it will be snappier too.

Re: Export to PDF problem
No issues 19.11 Mb file size. If it going to be a banner, larger than A4, then the bitmap route is not going to work. Rik what memory are you running in both laptop's as I think that where your running into problems. Remember the older PDF filter and how long it took to export PDF's and the number of errors it incurred when memory had to be smaller in machines. You could tell us what to do, via pencil sketch and we could assemble it for you so that you can get your birthday banner.
Re: Export to PDF problem
ok here using xdpx Rik - PDF/x3 export 50.6 MB; but adobe reader slow to load on laptop :D [win8.1 64bit core i3 8GB memory ]
Re: Export to PDF problem
Same as Gary, no issues 53Mbs. Excellent diamonds by the way Rik.
Re: Export to PDF problem
Thanks for your feedback and advice, everyone.
I think I will try and convert the diamond and pearl to bitmap, and see how that prints out.
Printing straight from Xara, things look OK.
I hope (and will try) things look as good when I convert to bitmap.
Once again, thanks for all the advice and feedback.
