it would help if you mention how you are currently exporting it now (when 
you're getting not-so-good results).

CMX-5 (note the 5!!!) and Ventura play together very well; indeed it is 
the preferred input to Ventura. CMX-5 is probably way down your export 
or save as lists -- the *later* version of CMX i(with no "5") is near

the top. The later CMX may or may not work, and will always give an 
annoying series of warnings which often can be ignored; CMX-5 should 
work, in all cases and without warnings, CMX maintains vectors as 
vectors and text as text, as well.

Ab,

I save files regularly for use in Ventura. Many contain both vector (text) 
and bitmaps. I almost always use a CDR file saved to v11. If they are not 
"displaying" properly in a PDF file, I'm guessing it is a setting in
Acrobat 
that is causing the poor display. Do they print OK?

I agree, Paul - when I use Ventura (granted, I only have v8), I usually use 
CMX5 or TIFF for my images. 

Hello, I only use Draw to edit graphs and diagrams (which I save as .cdr and 
import in Corel Ventura, font get nicely embedded, etc.)

But now I need to make a simple graphic: just 3 digits with some perspective 
some shadow added, which has to be placed over a photograph in Ventura.
Well, it looks ok in Draw. But when I import the graphic into Ventura and 
create a pdf, the digits look far from ok. The corners aren't really round, 
like it's 72dpi or something.
I've tried several output formats in Draw; the result remains the same.

Can anybody help me out here; how do I handle the graphic in Draw to get the 
best result?
Thanks, Ab
