Need conversion help with a PDF.
« on: February 13, 2012, 09:36:16 AM »
Would some one be willing to convert 2 PDF files to a corel 12 cdr?  I know, I know, time to upgrade.  I do have X5 coming tomorrow but this is a hot one that came in over the weekend.  I need to get the films printed and screens burned.  I really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance,

Wade

Just to point out, that except for sensitive designs which you don't want publicly accessible (and the size restraints), pdf's can be attached and posted here.

Depending on what you have, I could probably do it for you this evening...

Just for the Halibut. I just dusted off and fired up my v12, and both imported and opened numerous pdf's with the only problem being fonts which were not converted.
What result are you getting?

it was a bitmap in one of them.

my favorite thing to do is place the pdf in AI and then copy and paste it into corel with the AI clipboard macro on Oberon's site.

I am getting a "There was an internal filter error".  I just figure that the version I am using is the culprit.  I can open most PDF's but I get some where I can't.  So I broke down and got X5, which should be here today.

The version of Corel you have may not make any difference....If the pdf was not made by Corel it could have incompatibility issues....PDF is way to transport a file but it is not a real file format like ai. or cdr.  Same goes with eps.....

Especially if it was created on a Mac. PDF's can cross platforms OK, but they need to be tweaked. Many times artists have the attitude that you should be able to use what they sent and can be uncooperative in making revisions to the file.

Prepare for battle with our friend from the great white north! He has a very different take on who should accommodate whom.  ;D

I guess my question would, why do these files open ok in a newer version of corel and not an older version?
