Preparing the file for output

When your page layout design is finished, you
must prepare the file for output.

Replace wizard

CorelDRAW

The Replace wizard guides you through the
process of finding objects that contain the
properties you specify and then replacing those
properties with others. You can replace such
properties as fill colors, outline properties, and
text attributes, such as font and font size. You
can also replace color models and palettes —
for example, you can replace all RGB colors
with CMYK colors. For more information about
color models and color palettes, see “Color
Basics” on page 72.

To replace RGB colors with CMYK colors,

choose the Replace a color model or

palette option, and click Next. On the

next page of the wizard, enable the Find a

color model option, and choose RGB

from the list. Make sure that the Replace

with the color model option is set to

CMYK. Choose any other options you

want, and click Finish.

Publish to PDF, Export, and Save As
commands

CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT

CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT let you
export documents as PDF files. A PDF file can
be viewed, shared, and printed on any

platform provided that the person viewing the

PDF has Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or

another PDF-compatible reader installed. With

CorelDRAW, you can export either the entire

document, or only selected objects.

CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT offer

several different ways of creating PDF files. You

can use any of the following commands:

Publish to PDF, Export, and Save as. The

Publish to PDF option lets you quickly publish

a file to PDF without specifying any options or

making decisions about the output. You can

choose from several PDF presets, which

automatically apply specific settings for you.

For example, with the Web preset, the

resolution of the images in the PDF file is

optimized for the Web. You can also create

your own PDF presets or edit existing presets.

The Export and Save as commands let you

fine-tune your output by using the options in

the PDF settings dialog box.

For more information about PDF export, see

“Exporting to PDF” in the Help.
