TITLE
Rebuild 72-page PDF catalogue as an identical, fully editable native CorelDRAW (.CDR) file
PROJECT
I have a completed 72-page pharmaceutical catalogue. I need the existing design rebuilt in CorelDRAW, not redesigned. The final CDR must reproduce the reference PDF exactly while allowing proper text and object editing.
An online or automatic PDF-to-CDR conversion is NOT the deliverable. An SVG-to-CDR conversion is NOT acceptable. Renaming a file, placing page screenshots in CorelDRAW, or putting invisible editable text over a flat page is NOT acceptable.
REFERENCE AND SCOPE
This job covers only the product pages in a supplied 72-page PDF, not covers, company pages, index or other catalogue sections. My designer will handle the rest. Use the full supplied PDF as the visual and content master and preserve its exact page dimensions, orientation and page order. Quote a fixed price for pages 1-68 and a separate optional price for the last four pages (69-72), which may be dropped. The attachment is an eight-page sample only. I will share the full reference PDF with the chosen bidder.
The catalogue text must NEVER be altered. Preserve every English and Hindi word, spelling, punctuation, number, symbol, product name, composition, indication, heading and page reference exactly. Do not rewrite, correct, translate, shorten or replace anything. Flag anything unclear and ask before proceeding.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Build and deliver a genuine native CorelDRAW document. State your CorelDRAW version and the version in which you will save the final CDR. Compatibility with my receiving designer's version must be agreed before work begins.
2. All catalogue text must be real, selectable and editable text, including English and Hindi. No text converted to curves/outlines, no rasterized text, no broken individual glyph fragments, and no garbled Hindi characters.
3. Use separate, logically named text objects for each product name, descriptor, composition, English indication, Hindi indication, heading, footer and other distinct field. Do not put the whole page or all body text into one giant text box. Every word must be editable within its correct field without rebuilding the surrounding layout.
4. Match the exact fonts, font weights, font sizes, styles, colours, line breaks, line spacing, letter spacing, alignment, padding, margins and positions. No approximate font substitutes. Identify missing fonts or unresolved font matches before starting; do not silently guess.
5. Reproduce every card, panel, icon, line, border, background, image crop, logo placement and other design element exactly. Rebuild geometric design elements as editable vector objects. Keep original product photographs as separate images at the best available resolution; do not flatten entire cards or pages.
6. Use clear page-wise layers/groups and object names so another designer can find and edit each element. Images must be embedded, or packaged with all required linked files. No missing links or hidden flattening.
7. Keep text and vector artwork sharp when enlarged and suitable for printing at the original size and larger sizes. Identify the maximum practical print size/resolution of photographic assets. Do not claim that enlarging a low-resolution image creates new detail. Preserve source page size and colour settings; any printer-specific bleed or colour conversion needs agreement first.
8. Preserve the original QR code and its destination. No image, logo or asset replacements without approval.
PILOT AND REVIEW
First propose a small pilot using one dense four-product page containing English and Hindi text and one other representative product page. Quote the pilot separately and state whether its cost is included in the base 68-page price and the optional four-page price. The pilot must include the actual editable CDR and matching PDF proof, not only screenshots. Do not proceed with the remaining pages until I approve the pilot.
The visual target is pixel-identical to the reference at the same page size and render resolution. Supply page-aligned overlay/difference comparisons of the reference PDF and your CDR-exported PDF. Any rendering-only difference must be identified; layout, font, wording and asset differences are not acceptable. A matching screenshot alone does not prove editability.
DELIVERABLES
- One complete, organised editable native .CDR file for the agreed scope: 68 required pages plus four optional pages if selected.
- A PDF of all agreed pages exported from that CDR for visual and print proofing.
- A packaged folder with required images/assets, a font list with exact versions and lawful font download sources or licensed files where permitted, and a short handoff note covering CorelDRAW version, layers and any dependencies.
- Page-wise comparison proofs and a completed quality checklist.
ACCEPTANCE CHECKLIST
- All agreed pages present, correct order and dimensions; no missing or duplicated content.
- Every catalogue text field editable as real text; English and Hindi tested in CorelDRAW.
- No altered words, punctuation, compositions, numbers or page references.
- All typography, line breaks, spacing, colours, assets and placements match the PDF.
- No overflow, clipping, overlap, missing glyphs or font substitutions.
- No full-page/card flattening, outlined text or SVG-converted substitute.
- CDR reopens correctly in the agreed version with no missing fonts or images.
- Exported PDF matches the reference page by page, and the QR still works.
BUDGET AND TIMELINE
The budget benchmark is INR 1,500-3,000 total. Please quote honestly for the revised scope rather than omit requirements to meet this figure. Please submit your best competitive fixed price for the 68 required pages and a separate price for the four optional pages, including proofing, handoff and correction of mismatches. Lower quotes are welcome only if every requirement is met. This figure is for the entire catalogue, not per page. If you cannot meet this scope at that price, explain your total rather than omit requirements.
State your earliest realistic pilot and full-delivery dates. Do not promise a rushed delivery that compromises accuracy.
IN YOUR PROPOSAL
Please provide:
- Fixed price in INR for pages 1-68, separate optional price for pages 69-72, pilot cost/credit and any taxes or extra charges.
- Pilot and full-delivery timeline, review stages and included revisions.
- CorelDRAW version and confirmation that the final file opens in the agreed receiving version.
- How you will keep all text live/editable and reproduce the PDF without automatic/SVG conversion.
- One or two comparable native CDR catalogue projects, especially with Hindi text.
- Any fonts/assets you need from me before committing to the quote.
Start your proposal with: "68 required pages + 4 optional, native CDR, live editable text, identical to PDF."
