Hi, my name is Andrei Lucer, I'm from Russia. Since 2006, I have been working in the Xara program, you can see with a short portfolio. 99% of all works are drawn in Xara (more than 700 projects were made in this program). Unfortunately, the portfolio size is almost 50 MB, so I left a link to it (please administrators do not block the subject). I want you to know that the Xara program is a convenient and practical program.

Here's a more practical suggestion, Andrei.
Xara Designer Pro X 18 can create some amazing websites. And you tell us you are a proficient designer.
Design a web-portfolio and then post the link to the website here.
I am removing your link. New members are not permitted links.
So, we'll wait to see your Xara portfolio.
Welcome to TalkGraphics
I managed to take a quick look at the PDF. These are nice drawings. Too bad I had so little time.
We understand it can be frustrating.
We have a new TG joiner with a 50MB PDF Link.
Just to ask "Don't delete me!" is sadly not an option.
PDFs can be used as a powerful spamming medium:
[https://www.malwarefox.com/can-pdf-have-virus/]Quote:
- JavaScript – JavaScripts are used in the website coding to control browser appearance and functionality. In past, it has been used to exploit multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe as well as many other PDF readers.
- System Commands – Launch action in PDF can open Command window and execute commands to initiate malware. Most of the commands have now been disabled by Adobe but they might be open in other readers or earlier versions.
- Hidden Objects – PDFs can have embedded and encrypted objects which prevents being analyzed by antivirus scanner. These objects are executed when file is opened by the user.
- Multimedia Control – When we say PDF can have embedded objects, it could be a QuickTime media or flash file. Attacker can exploit vulnerability in media players.
What would you have us do?
Have the link been to a Xara-designed site with some further links to images or design files, it would probably have been allowed, as Gary P has suggested.

Especially since I have more than 1,500 projects, sorting will take too long. Thank you for not deleting the links right away. P.S. There are no spam or links in the pdf.Quote:

Fully appreciate your frustration but our rules are there for a reason.Quote:

If you are not willing to showcase your work, we can but suspect.
After a short time, we can reconsider your PDF being reshared.

Thank you. In my free time from work, I will definitely post a couple of recent works.Quote:

How about you pick a dozen of what you think are your best designs and either make a website, or post images here.
I don't really think anyone wants to go through 1500 projects, or even 150.
Show us some of your very best work.
I hope you understand.
Thanks. Japan is my passion.Quote:

I then created a Xara design file from the PDF by Importing into XPro+ (XDPX versions should also work).
I deleted my blank index page and renamed your first page index.
I then set up the design to be a Scrolling one with Page Previews and a PDF download link.
I had a bit of a wrestle into getting it into Xara Cloud+ but when it was saved there, I could gain a website preview link.
You portfolio is now visible in https://shared.xara.com/esC98z4iuC.
It took all of 10 minutes to develop in XPro+.
Getting Xara Cloud+ took 40 minutes to get sorted and 30 seconds to publish.
In passing, you do have an external link on Page 100 - Lucer Andrey - Design Portfolio (xara.com) - it is a 404.

Incredibly cool! Really! Unfortunately, I do not use Xara Clouds so I do not know all its capabilities. Thank you. In the future, I will definitely try.Quote:

Seriously??? All the work you've shown appears incredibly professional.Quote:

Great stuff for a hobbyist, there are professionals with lesser skills.
Lucer, you are welcome.Quote:

I know of no other product that will import a PDF and upload as a scrolling website as quick as a XDA, keeping links and fidelity, all in under 5 minutes.
