Amusingly, this problem does not exist if you use ChemDraw Pro 10.0.3, so much for progress. It is now invisible (if you are printing on a white background !) and all is well in the world of copy and paste. Simply place a single character in a text box and colour it white. I am not sure this is a major issue as most people will have some text in their drawing, but if you don't, here is a way to fix it. If it contains only drawing and NO text, it will look and print like crap but still be round-trip editable. Basically, if a drawing contains structure and ANY text, it will display and print correctly and be round-trip editable. Version 10 is also hosed.įinally, ChemDraw 12 and Word 2004 don't get along particularly well either. The older version of ChemDraw (Version 11) performs, at best, erratically with Pages and Keynote under 10.6 and is, basically, unusable. You can avoid this problem by checking the "Add PDF to Clipboard" option in the ChemDraw 12 preferences, but this breaks round-trip editing.
Paste a ChemDraw 12 picture into Pages and it will be super-sized and clipped. Secondly, pasting ChemDraw pictures into Pages/Keynote is totally hosed. In our experience, in combination with Mac OS X 10.6, ChemDraw 12 exhibits certain undesirable features.įirstly, if you double click a ChemDraw document, the application will open, but the document will not.
