And similarly, the color picker often is cantankerous. Using the Clone Tool in both Xara Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer MX is much like using two mirrors to cut your own hair: It’s counterintuitive and overly fiddly, even with the version 8 improvements. There are a few things that still need some work: Xara Designer Pro X doesn’t always play nice with Adobe Adobe Acrobat Professional-sometimes it just wouldn’t create my PDF for me on Vista-but if you use PDF-XChange Printer 2012 (part of Tracker’s PDF-XChange Pro 2012 $74 bundle) it works flawlessly. (For a full list of features available in Xara Designer Pro X, but not Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, take a look at Xara’s features page.) Plus, you can now create bespoke graphic bullet points that will automatically insert themselves into your lists, create QR codes, resize Widget, and a whole lot of other improvements.

In addition, Xara Designer Pro X (but not Xara Photo & Graphic Designer) now has a Shapebuilder Tool that you use alongside the new Eraser Tool to create, adapt, and modify complex vector shapes.
