      What happens when you export this one to PDF and open it in Corel? Does it work?

          Is there an update for Corel Draw X6?

          Since the PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat and displays the dimensions without issue, I would be looking at Corel instead of LayOut for the problem.

              Dave R., you're probably right that it is a CorelDraw problem. I reinstalled CorelDraw, but it didn't help.

              Is there any any way to remove any fonts from the SU or LO file? When I exported a file to PDF without any fonts, it worked okay. The fonts seem to be the problem.

                You could delete all of the text from the SU file, save, update the LO file and make the export.

                  Dave R., yes, I removed the dimension lines from the SU file, saved, updated the LO file and made the export ... with no problem.

                    Dave R, after extensive effort with CDR, it seems there is a problem with the export from LO to PDF. Can one reinstall or repair the installation of LO?

                    Someone who works with CDR, wrote to me,"Your file is corrupt. Try this file instead." He seemed to have fixed the "corrupt file".

                      You can try to reinstall SketchUp and LayOut. Right click on the installer and choose Run as administrator. Then, when presented with the option, choose Repair.

                      I wonder why Adobe reader and Acrobat display the font without problem. If the PDF file is corrupt, they should have problems reading it, too.

                        Dave R, thanks for your patience and suggestion. I repaired the installation but ... it still doesn't import into CDR X6.

                          As I indicated in my last post, I find it difficult to believe that LayOut is creating a corrupt PDF considering that Adobe Read and Acrobat have no problem with it. I think despite what the guy at CDR told you, the problem is on the Corel end. I don't have a fix for you, though. Sorry about that.

                            But, even Illustrator (according to the version) couldn't import the file properly.

                              Try a different font and see if you get the same results.

                                  Weird.

                                  Do you get the same results with a brand new LO file?

                                          All I did was opened and saved on my mac...

                                          the only real difference is OS X 'shows' the 'lowest' pdf version number 'needed' to open but your file shows the pdf version as being v1.7...

                                          Corel must prefer the v1.4 tag as the contents is identical...
