formats. Outstanding support for spot colors has been added for Adobe 
Illustrator, PhotoShop, and PDF. 

Color Management: Color management has been enhanced 

so that users can now control whether the color mode used for effects is RGB 
or CMYK. In addition, support for CMYK compositing color space has been 
added. When proper device profiles are used, this results in more accurate 
matching between the on-screen display and printed output of CMYK colors. 
This is particularly beneficial for designs that use transparencies and drop 
shadows.

Support for password-protected PDF files: CorelDRAW and 

Corel PHOTO-PAINT now let users set security options to protect their PDF 
output. This lets users control whether, and to what extent, a PDF file can be 
accessed, edited, and reproduced. In addition, users can set a password that 
lets them control who can access a PDF file.

Publish To PDF: Corel continues to help professional 

designers ensure that their designs are portable with updated Publish To PDF 
functionality. New enhancements include full transparency and spot color 
support. In addition, users can now convert text in their designs to curves in 
the resultant PDF file.

EPS filter selection: CorelDRAW X3 includes a new dialog 

box that offers users more intuitive options when importing EPS files. 
Designers can choose to set the position of the EPS file in their design, or they 
can convert the EPS file into editable objects.

PANTONE® color palette: The PANTONE spot color palette 

now includes Transparent White to give users more color options for their 
designs. In addition, the CMYK equivalents of many PANTONE spot colors 
have been updated according to the latest PANTONE libraries.

Printing: Printing has been enhanced so that transparencies 

and spot colors output flawlessly. Whether it’s composite or separated 
output, users can trust CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 to do it right.
