Thanks Gary.

Just this week I've seen error message boxes popping up when I export a Xara document as a PDF. I can't say for sure precisely when this issue started - I used Xara extensively in my...

I'm seeing error windows popping up lately when I export a Xara document as PDF.

In which part of the forum (or Xara.com) should I put the details of what happens?

Understood - but it seems that the only way to get such a small detail would be to shell out a heck of a lot of money, to get the top product. TBH, I think it's a little unreasonable. But then, it's...

Thanks for that, Egg. I wasn't aware of the existence of that very useful page.

Have to say I'm more than a bit surprised that "Live copies" is considered a "luxury" item. If XGPD recognises and...

My copy of XPGD11 recognises that an item is a live copy, and updates other live copies as expected, but does not seem to offer the facility to create new sets of live copies - or have I missed...

Can one do what OP asked with Xara's "Page & Layout Designer 10"? I'm not being cynical -- I'd just rather be able to do stuff using Xara's UI, because it's so good. This page does say "...it's the...

This is another example of where the ability to add user-written modules/extensions to Xara would be really useful. Nobody would expect Xara to be all things to all people, but I imagine there are...

I have been using XDPX10 and and its predecessors for many years, and am now using P&GD11, as the former really exceeded my needs, which are adequately covered by the latter.

When importing a PDF...

Thanks Kate, all sorted now!

I didn't spot the password reset link (which Gary also mentioned) the first time around, but I had a better look this time. When Gary mentioned that link, I...

Thanks Gary, and the others who replied.

Does anyone have Support's email addy for me, just in case?

Gary, the "Lost Password" link brings up a login screen and a "I've forgotten my password" link. I did click on that link before I started this thread, and I was sent an email with my password hint,...

Hi Gary and Larry -- thanks for the quick replies.

Gary, yes, I did use that link (and one other login page as well, yesterday, but now can't recall it) and it still returns "Invalid Username or...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place -- I feel like I've been locked out of my house and nowhere to turn to for help!

My usual Xara login doesn't work -- it worked when I logged in about a week ago...

If anyone's still interested, this issue was resolved today by simply running CCleaner.

Thanks Frank -- I'm grateful to you, and others, for your interest and your advice.

I have a sinking feeling that this is going to end up as a re-install of Windows! Or perhaps just a repair... I...

Thanks Frank, Sorry about the delay in replying -- I was afraid to do anything that might put my PC or even just DP9 out of action as I needed it work, even if imperfectly, at the time.
...

I didn't actually try this yet, because I see that the problem is not limited to PDFs -- seems the problem lies a bit deeper?

It affects ALL files that DPX9 should be able to load, with the...

Thanks Frank, I'll try that.

Does "any pdf software" include PDF-aware software that is not primarily aimed at PDF processing, such as IrfanView?

Frank, I found this on googling it: "In Vista and Windows 7, the properties sheet has been replaced by a Control Panel utility: select Default Programs and choose the option that says "Associate a...

Thanks sledger.

I must still be doing something wrong -- I think I followed your examples correctly, but it's made no difference.

In fact, not even image files (JPG etc) offer XDP9 as an "open...

How do I get my W7 desktop to list XDPX9 as a client for "Open with >" in the menu when I right-click on a PDF?

I had XDPX in the list before, and it was still there when I installed XDPX9, and I...

It's actually not a CD insert. It's a kind of mini catalogue of church artworks.

I've done the same catalogue before (last year, using an older version of both Xara and Acrobat Reader, and a...

Thanks for having a look, Albacore.

I did what you suggested (deleted the green rectangle, set PDF export to Acro ver 8, and enabled Acro Reader layers) but it made no difference at all. I tried...

I'll have a go at uploading them -- hope it works!
