Why does my PDF appear in Corel all garbled?

I have to get some posters & signs printed for an event urgently!
I did the artwork in InDesign & exported it to 'High Quality Print' PDF.
I took these PDFs to the printer & they opened them in Corel which they use to print off & it opened completly wierd & garbled. All the text was chinese & the document was a mess.
Why is this happeneing? How can I stop this or change it?
I tried to save the files to an ESP but it comes up witrh an error message "Export Error: Error due to an out of memory condition"
Would opening the ID file in Illustrator & then sending the file to the printer as an EPS help?
Regards,

Neither CorelDRAW nor Adobe Illustrator are PDF file editors. The only PDF files that CorelDRAW can reliably and successfully open, edit, and/or print are PDF files created directly by CorelDRAW. Likewise, the only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can reliable and successfully open, edit, and/or print are PDF files saved directly from the same or later version of Adobe Illustrator, assuming the “retain editability” option was specified.
The only safe program to open and print all PDF files from is Adobe Acrobat. Alternatively, a PDF file may be safely printed from a print system that natively RIPs PDF.
The fact that your “printer” is attempting to print your PDF files via CorelDRAW or even Adobe Illustrator demonstrates that your “printer” is very sorely lacking in knowledge of PDF workflow. I most strongly recommend that you find a better-educated “printer” with reliable workflows.

  • Why does my PDF appear blurry after taking a snapshot?

    I need some assistance. I'm working with a client who is trying to do email blasts. They create a flyer in Publisher (probably switching to Acrobat exclusively soon), and then import it into Acrobat or Reader and take a snapshot of it. They then paste it into Outlook and it looks great before they actually send the email. Once the email is sent, it's blurry and pixelated.
    Here's what we have to work with on their computers:
    Outlook 2010
    Acrobat X Standard
    Publisher 2010
    Any advice would be greaty appreciated!

    There's some weird stuff going on here.
    - 'Switching to Acrobat exclusively soon' - what does this mean, Acrobat isn't a replacement for Publisher or any kind of design tool?
    - 'Imported to Acrobat' - how - Acrobat doesn't actually have a function called Import?
    - 'Pasted into Outlook' - how, Acrobat can't Copy a PDF to the clipboard?
    It may be that they are doing things that are not at all right, or it may just be the way they are described...
    In any case, Acrobat and PDF _cannot_ be used to make stuff for seeing visibly in an email...

  • HT204406 I have subscribed to match on iTunes and organized my music on my Mac Book.  Why does it not appear the same way on my iPad

    I would like my music to appear organized in the same way on my iPad as I have done it on my Mac Book.  (and on my iPhone as well)  Since it is in the cloud, why does it not appear the same way in all devices?

    The purpose of iTunes match is to make your music library available to all of your devices anywhere. It will sync Playlists, but no other type of organization you may have made.
    If you're having trouble, be sure you are logged into the same Apple ID on all devices but be sure to read this article and pay special attention to associating your devices with an Apple ID. There are important restrictions you should know about.

  • Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

    Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
    Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
    It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
    I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
    A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

    Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
    Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
    Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

  • Why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

    why does my iMac appear many times in my network and labelled 1,2,3, etc

    Ok, I solved it.
    I followed this steps:
    1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
    2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    
com.apple.network.identification.plist
    com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist

    NetworkInterfaces.plist

    preferences.plist
    4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
    5- Reboot the Mac
    6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

  • Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

  • Why does my video keep stopping at all stages as i'm watching a video

    why does my video keeping stopping at all times

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

    The camera icon appears so that you can take a picture quickly without having to enter your password.  It is not responsible for the shutter sound.  The Touch always made that sound when manually closing or going to sleep even with older iOS that did not have the camera icon.

    Why does my contacts appear as unknown when receiving calls

    Anytime you have photos in the Camera Roll album on your iPad your computing assumes you will want to copy them. If you don't want to copy those photos then just quit Image Capture or whatever other program starts when you connect. Then start iTunes and go from there.

  • Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS 6?

    Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS6?

    I have an iPhone 5 running at iOS7.1.1. The Calendar list mode previous to iOS 6 showed all past entries, which I found very useful. After the upgrade, it only showed the previous 12 months (as I recall). All past entries are still present, you just have to exit list mode to see them. I'm asking this now after finding the forum for the answer to rediscover the list function in iOS 7.
