Sorry, I should have said I am using Pro+
That is strange, I don't have the icon for "Show Selection Bounds Handles" and I can't see it on the button palette. How can I get it to appear?
Acorn is right, we also have a copy of Xara Pro X17 with an expired update service and that is what my wife has been using. My wife only uses Xara very occasionally so a second license is definitely...
My wife and I share a Windows PC. Since moving to Xara Pro+ I've found that it only works on my Windows account. I don't want to take out two licences for one single PC so is there a way to avoid...
Thanks, that makes sense. I've found it now. The only thing now is that it won't accept any of my printer profiles as valid CMYK profiles so I'll have to investigate further!
I'm pleased that there is now supposed to be the option to view a Xara document onscreen using different colour profiles in this release but I've upgraded and can't find the option. The guidance...
Thank you ernie-f that is really interesting and gives me plenty to experiment with!
I'd be very interested in a bit more detail on how you do this. It is the one thing with Xara that still frustrates me. (I do have a calibrated screen which helps a bit.)
I've just seen the details of this update both on the forum here and in more detail in the email from Xara. This is great news! At last something is being done to improve Xara's colour handling. ...
That's fine now thanks. Very interesting.
Thanks for the interesting comparison but the detailed version at that spreadsheet link gives access denied.
Thanks :) (Is intercom the chat box on Xara cloud?)
I've just downloaded Pro + and created a poster!
Ok, I give in! I'll go for the Pro + offer and hope the comment above gets remembered in a year's time. I'd be much happier being back with Xara properly as the support service has always been very...
This is all very confusing! I currently have Designer Pro X via Magic and I have been fairly disappointed with them since they took over the sales and support. Upgrades are more complex than they...
Solved! I've just discovered what I was doing wrong. I need to tell GhostScript to use a device of ink_cov not inkcov. (Very confusing naming!) Anyway this now seems to be giving me the actual...
Thanks for the thoughts. I've had a bit of a play with GhostScript and found that it partly works! It can report on the ink coverage using an output device of inkcov which sounded like just what I...
No, I'm not planning on offering a general printing service - I'm sure that would not be cost effective. I know there are lost of good printing companies out there (I often use Instantprint). It is...
Does anyone know of a good way to calculate the cost of printing a particular document? I used to have a Lexmark laser printer that would tell me the percentage of each of 4 colours (CMYK) printed...
Thanks for the suggestion. That solves the problem as a work around and is very useful but the fact remains that the export should work correctly. If you can't reply on the pdf export to be...
Thanks very much for the offer of help but the problem is not with knowing how to create a good pdf. Like you, I have been doing this successfully for a long time. The original problem I had (and...
Thanks for the suggestion which makes a lot of sense in most cases but it would be tricky in this instance as to explain the bug I would need to upload a 9MB file which I don't think I can do through...
I'm coming back to this thread again as I have now had several responses from the Magix Support desk and I have to say that I am very disappointed with the level of support so far. It took several...
Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply and your kind offer. I did eventually manage to submit the bug report and don't want to cause any confusion by sending it twice so please let me know if it is still...
I've just been trying to submit a bug report with Xara Designer Pro's export of a clipped photo to a .pdf but the new process for submitting bug reports is very cumbersome. It used to be so much...
