Docker empty
Dear Mr. Bender,
unfortunately, I have an issue when trying to use the addon in CorelDRAW x8. The Docker is completely empty, although I have exactly followed your instructions. Do you have any ideas about that?
Are you sure that the DLL was unblocked? It sounds like CoreDRAW was not able to load the Addon.
Yes, all three(?) DLLs are unblocked. I can see the docker but its empty. Do I need to install additional software packages?
Hi! It seems I am with the same problem here. All three DLL are unblocked (inside ScintillaNET folder), the Docker is there but the 'latex' tab is empty. Other tabs work as usual (see below, even though it is in portuguese I think it might help).
I'm using Corel X8 (64 bit) in Windows 8.1.
I also have the problem of empty docker. I am using Corel 2017 (and I did the path correction). Do you have any tip or solution?
Thanks, regards.
Do you have a 64bit version of CorelDraw? The ScintillaNet DLL is 64bit and won't work on 32bit systems.
Hi! I am having the very same problem of an empty docker, too. I am using the 64 bit version of CorelDraw Graphics Suite X7 (and I have not forgotten to adjust all paths in Latex4CorelDraw.csproj ;-) ) on Windows 8.1. I'd very much appreciate any tip that you might have. Thanks, Thomas
Did you also follow the installation guide:
Installation:
Extract zip into C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8\Programs64\Addons to install the addon.
Right-click and open "Properties" for each DLL file in the folder. If you see the following text, you have to unblock the file:
"Security: This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."
Activate docker window "Latex" in the menu "Windows".
First of all, thanks for the quick response! Yes, I can see the properties of all dlls without getting that message. It seens there was no need to unblock anything. I copied and extracted the zip-file as admin. But I made sure that I can see the properties as regular user. So under properties I see that admin is the owner of the dll's and the User has "read" and "run" permission.
Hi @Leucit, @lgabs, @willdfonseca ! -- were you able to solve the problem with the empty docker? What's the trick? Any hint is much appreciated!
Did you build the plugin using Visual Studio? If yes, which version did you use?
My problem is that I cannot reproduce your issue. So if you can solve it, please tell me how it works.
Hi guys, unfortunately, I could not solve the issue, yet. I am using CorelDraw X8 and updated on the latest version today - but it did not bring any improvement.
Is the Microsoft .NET Framework (at least version 4.0) installed on your system?
Thanks for the update! -- No, I did not build the plugin. I just copied everything in the folders following the installation instructions. Yes, .NET Framework 4.7 is installed.
I had the issue too, running the latest Windows 10 Enterprise (1709) and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2017. I made a junction from CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8 to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2017, but got an empty Docker. So I installed Visual Studio 2015 Community and build the addon again (changed to version 2017 instead of X8 in the project file) and the addon runs flawlessly (version 1.0.2). Sizes from some files in my compiled version differ from the ones I can download here. Version 1.0.5 from mfschumann doesn't seem to work for me.
Hello,
I have the same problem. Is there already a solution? I'd love to use this addon with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018. I tried to build it myself with VS 2017 Community, but since I'm a big newbie in things of programming & Co, I'm already failing in compiling the code. I get this Error-Message:

If anybody could help me, I would be so happy and grateful!
Greetings from Germany
Frieder
Did you try to install it in this way:
https://github.com/InteractiveComputerGraphics/Latex4CorelDRAW/releases/tag/1.0
Thanks for your quick response, eventhough this thread is pretty old!
Yes, I followed those instructions. All dlls have been "unblocked". I even checked my antivirus-program, but it doesn't show any blocked programs. Maybe I do have to give special reading/writing rights?!
Best regards
It seems that CorelDraw don't want to load the plugin for some reason. However, I really don't know why. If you find a solution, please tell me.
I was able to make it work. Had to
- recompile it myself with the correct path (as written in the build instructions) and
- call the folder 'Latex4CorelDraw', not just 'Latex'
There was an error in the post-build script, but I just copied the files under bin/Release manually.
If someone wants to try my build, it's available here: https://www.xeve.de/wp/2018/05/fix-for-latex4coreldraw-with-coreldraw-2017/
I updated the install instructions with the correct path. Thanks for pointing this out.
Hi. I am getting closer -- but still some need help, please. I updated to CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2018. Installed Visual Studio Community 2017. (Still working on Windows 8.1.) I built the project following the instructions. And indeed, the docker is NOT empty anymore! Also the PREVIEW works just perfectly.
However, I get an error message when I try to create a new Latex object. I tried to understand the error message (see below) and the code and googled for clues, but as I am not a programmer, I am at a loss.
Any hit is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Best, Thomas

Can you take a look at:
C:\Users<your-user-name>\AppData\Roaming\Latex4CorelDraw
and check if there is a file teximport.pdf
No, there is no teximport.PDF (but there is teximport.tex, .dvi, .png, and .ps) Thank you for your help!!
Yes, that file (ps2pdf.ext) is there (c:\Program Files\Miktex\miktex\bin), but there is something weird going on.
When I try to run ps2pdf teximport.ps teximport.pdf manually from within the command prompt inside the folder c:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Roaming\Latex4CorelDraw\ NO .pdf is created. Note however, that there is no error message, so the ps2pdf file is found.
Next, I created a teximport.pdf from the teximport.ps using some other program and then went back to your CorelDraw Addon. I thought it would just take the teximport.pdf that is now in that folder. However, that teximport.pdf got deleted and the initial error message (from two posts above) appeared.
Something must be wrong with my ps2pdf.... Thank you for locating the problem. Any clues though?
Try to call it like this: ps2pdf.exe -dNoOutputFonts teximport.ps teximport.pdf
The LatexAddin cleans up the folder before generating a new one. So it deletes the pdf
For me this works: "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\ps2pdf.exe" teximport.ps teximport.pdf
I don't have an x64 subfolder under ...\bin. Is that relevant?
I probably should get my ps2pdf running first. It might solve the whole issue.
Problem solved/circumvented.
I uninstalled MikTeX and Ghostscript, and re-installed the newest versions of those programs (MikTeX 2.9.6753-x64, gs9.23). However, that changed nothing: ps2pdf still created no output.
That I am not the only one with this strange behavior of ps2pdf shows this question: stackoverflow:when-i-execute-ps2pdf-it-does-nothing. There, I also found the resolution to my problem.
In the file AddinUtilities.cs, I changed the line
startProcess("cmd.exe", "/c \"" + mgr.SettingsData.miktexPath + "\\ps2pdf.exe\" -dNoOutputFonts teximport.ps teximport.pdf", true, false, out output);
to
startProcess("gswin64c.exe", "-o \"teximport.pdf\" -dNoOutputFonts -sDEVICE=pdfwrite teximport.ps", true, false, out output);
and built the addon again. Then it worked.
I wanted to report this here in case someone else runs into the same issue -- although it does not really belongs to "Docker empty".
Dear Jan and everybody else on this list, thank you all so very much for your help! And, Jan, thank you for this awesome addon in the first place!!
