Product: Aspose.Imaging for .NET Versions tested: 25.12.0 and 26.6.0 — both reproduce the issue Target framework: .NET Framework 4.8 (net40 assembly in use) OS: Windows License: Aspose.Total for .NET (valid; subscription expiry 2026‑11‑06) Severity: High — output is unusable for the affected files. Summary
Certain CorelDRAW .cdr files are not rendered correctly by Aspose.Imaging. The same source file fails in two different ways depending on the output engine:
- Saving to PDF (
PdfOptions+CdrRasterizationOptions) → every page is exported as a solid black square; all artwork and text are lost. - Saving to a raster format (
PngOptions/JpegOptions/BmpOptions+CdrRasterizationOptions) → output is blank/empty.
Both behaviours occur with a valid license and with default and customised CdrRasterizationOptions. Upgrading from 25.12.0 to 26.6.0 did not change the result. Sharing source file sample.
Monthly Music - 03 March.zip (3.6 MB)
// Code used ---- Case A: CDR → PDF produces an all-black page ----
using (var image = Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(@“Rock-Solid - QR Codes.cdr”))
{
image.Save(@“out.pdf”, new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PdfOptions
{
VectorRasterizationOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.CdrRasterizationOptions
{
PageSize = image.Size,
Positioning = Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PositioningTypes.DefinedByDocument,
BackgroundColor = Aspose.Imaging.Color.White // does not help — see below
}
});
}
// ---- Case B: CDR → PNG produces a blank image ----
using (var image = Aspose.Imaging.Image.Load(@“Monthly Music - 03 March.cdr”))
{
image.Save(@“out.png”, new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.PngOptions
{
VectorRasterizationOptions = new Aspose.Imaging.ImageOptions.CdrRasterizationOptions
{
PageSize = image.Size,
BackgroundColor = Aspose.Imaging.Color.White
}
});
}
