CorelDRAW appears on both legitimate first-generation output and downstream re-save flows — context (the other tool on the same document) is what flips the signal.
Back to all statisticsForensic verdictBased on this tool’s share of the HTPBE? corpus.
Corpus profile
CorelDRAW is a desktop vector design suite. Its PDF export rebuilds the document from Corel’s composition.
Contextual signal: producer/creator mismatch when CorelDRAW is the latest Producer on a non-design institutional-Creator document.
Role in the workflow
Every PDF carries a Creator (the application that produced the original document) and a Producer (the engine that wrote the PDF). The same tool can appear in either slot, with very different modification profiles.
Name fingerprints
Different version strings and spellings observed for CorelDRAW in the wild. All are merged into the same canonical profile.
Why variants matter
The same tool publishes itself under 11 different metadata strings — version bumps, locale tags, build IDs. We canonicalize them so the corpus reflects one identity, not noise.
Distributions
The PDF versions CorelDRAW writes when acting as Producer, and the other tools that appear in the same documents.
Most output is PDF 1.7 (100% of files where CorelDRAW is the Producer).
CorelDRAW sits upstream in 94% of cases — read this row as “what kinds of documents end up routed through CorelDRAW.”
Related profiles
Other tools that frequently share metadata with CorelDRAW in the same documents. Each card links to its own forensic profile.
Long tail
Smaller cuts of the CorelDRAW corpus — useful context, but treat each row as a single data point rather than a strong signal.
