How to Export Page Ranges to PDF in CorelDRAW

Exporting specific page ranges to PDF in CorelDRAW allows you to share select parts of a multi-page document without having to split files manually or export the entire project. This guide provides a direct, step-by-step walkthrough of navigating CorelDRAW's PDF settings dialog, configuring custom page selections, and defining specific page sequences for your final export.

Step 1: Open the Publish to PDF Dialog

  1. Open your document in CorelDRAW.
  2. Click on File in the top menu bar.
  3. Select Publish to PDF. (Alternatively, you can click the Publish to PDF icon on the standard toolbar if available).

Step 2: Access PDF Export Settings

  1. In the Publish to PDF window, choose your save destination and enter a file name.
  2. Before clicking Save, click the Settings button located next to the PDF preset dropdown menu.

Step 3: Specify the Page Range

  1. In the PDF Settings dialog box, ensure you are on the General tab.
  2. Locate the Export range section.
  3. Select the radio button labeled Pages.
  4. In the text field next to Pages, enter the specific pages or ranges you wish to export:
    • Use hyphens for continuous ranges (e.g., 1-5).
    • Use commas to separate individual pages or distinct ranges (e.g., 1, 3, 5-8, 12).

Step 4: Save and Export

  1. Click OK to close the PDF Settings dialog.
  2. Click Save in the main Publish to PDF window.

CorelDRAW will generate a PDF containing only the pages specified in your custom range.
