    Default BUG: Tabstop exported in PDF/X don't match


    Please see the document attached and export it to PDF.
    The Tab Stop's do not match as in the xara file specified.

    I need to email a big document off (on a Sunday evening) and simply can't convert all text to shapes since it will blow up the document's email size.

    Is this possible to fix for future versions?

    I removed an re-anchored the illustrations.
    I deleted the tab spaces and re-did them.

    Exports to PDF fine now.

    Thanks Sledger for placing this thread into the wrong forum.

    The PDF you created works fine. Unfortunately the document i'm working on contains around 160 pages with anchored tabbed elements like the one I posted.
    There was no time in going through page by page and fixing it manually.

    Surely Xcellent using Xara for a 160 page document and if the both examples that you have posted are typical here in Dear Xara are you not using the wrong programme to keep the file size down so it can be emailed? I used to work in a print shop who used Illustrator ver. 8 for everything and they wasted so much of their time doing everything in that programme. Since your most recent example shows really a set of tables would you not think that something like Serif's Page Plus would be a more suited programme to use and they offer a free version which can export as PDF. The setting up of the Tabs in Xara for this purpose is not the easiest thing to do and getting the spacings correct is also tricky. Now this is not a criticism of your workflow it is just my opinion of how I would tackle your work that you have illustrated.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Albacore, you're right ofcourse. Working with a lot of text is not and was not intended when xara was developed. I have learned my lesson for the next big project.
