Tried following that CorelDraw workflow exactly as in the article, but the colors ended up way off when printed. Even after converting to CMYK and embedding fonts, the output was dull and not at all what I saw on screen. Really frustrating—feels like CorelDraw just doesn’t handle color profiles well for certain printers.

Just to clarify, when autoflowing a long article using the Place command in InDesign CC 2023, make sure you hold down Shift while clicking to autoflow the text into new pages automatically. If you simply click without Shift, it will only place text in the selected frame without creating new ones. Also, double-check that your text frames are set to allow overset text so you don’t lose any content.

@Rakesh Bhardwaj Make sure you’re using the correct installer version that matches your operating system and that your system meets CorelDRAW’s minimum requirements. Sometimes the installation can fail if antivirus software blocks the setup, so try disabling it temporarily during installation. Also, running the installer as an administrator often helps avoid permission issues.

Print merge karte waqt ensure karein ki aapka data source (jaise Excel file) bilkul sahi format mein ho aur har column ka naam precisely match karta ho aapke template mein. Video mein jo steps diye hain, usmein kabhi-kabhi font size aur alignment ke issues aate hain, jo identity card ko professional nahi banate. Agar aap Microsoft Word ka use kar rahe hain, to “Mailings” tab mein “Finish & Merge” ka option select karte waqt preview kar lena chahiye, taaki har card par sahi data aaye aur koi duplicate ya missing field na ho. Agar aapko koi specific error mil raha hai, to uska message bhi share karein, taaki exact solution diya ja sake.

@Anita Khanna I had the same issue with the update hanging at 45%. What worked for me was forcing a restart, then running the Windows Update Troubleshooter from the settings. After that, the update resumed and completed without getting stuck again. You might want to give that a shot before trying more drastic measures.

I tried using GREP in the Find/Change menu to replace phone numbers in my document, and it worked pretty well once I got the pattern right. I used d{3}-d{3}-d{4} to find the numbers formatted like 123-456-7890, and it found all instances at once, which saved me a lot of time. Still figuring out more complex patterns, but this feature is definitely powerful for text cleanup in InDesign.

Hi! It’s a common challenge to get complex Illustrator designs, especially those with gradients and transparency, to export cleanly as SVGs since SVG supports a somewhat different feature set than Illustrator’s native format. One thing to keep in mind is that certain effects like complex transparencies and gradients may not translate perfectly because SVG handles them differently or may rasterize parts of the design during export. To improve results, try simplifying the gradients or using SVG-compatible gradient types, and avoid transparency effects that rely heavily on Illustrator-specific blending modes.

When exporting, choose the SVG profile “SVG 1.1” or “SVG Tiny 1.2” depending on your target platform and make sure to uncheck options that flatten transparency or convert text to outlines unless necessary, as these can alter your artwork. Also, the “responsive” option often changes the SVG viewbox behavior, which can affect how it renders on different screens, so test with it both on and off to see which works best for your use case. Opening the SVG in different browsers or editors can also highlight how each interprets the file, so you might find it helpful to optimize your file for the platform you prioritize most.

If you continue to see pixelation or shape distortion, consider exporting your logo as a high-resolution PNG specifically for certain web uses, while keeping the SVG for scalable, simpler versions. Additionally, some designers use third-party SVG optimization tools or scripts after export to clean up and fix inconsistencies in the code. Overall, it often takes a bit of trial and error to balance Illustrator’s rich features with SVG’s limitations, but refining gradient styles and export settings usually leads to more reliable results. Hope this helps!
