My resources are limited to x14 and these new fangled PDF files don't work in my old school programs. Can someone convert the attached PDF to Corel 12 or 14 for me please?
I have tried several file converters on line they all return a scrambled image.
Thank you

Mike,
I've attached a copy as Ver 12 but there is a text issue
Looked for a funky font that I don't have. The Font message that came up is in the Font Msg File. Looks like an outline that you can probably handle.
File type is .cdr in a zip file to upload here. If you need something different, let me know.
Check it out

Try this. I just imported it in x17 as curves.

I did the same thing (curves). You must have that font that just put that separate black outline around the Cayuga.
Think I accomplished the same thing by dropping that separate outline and added a .50 Stroke to Cayuga, lol.

Trebuchet MS. was font.

Often even if you have the font, it may have come from another publisher, or has a tiny difference that apparently Reader won't accept and gives the message. Of course, you have the option of still selecting the one installed on your computer as either the permanent or temporary substitute.
I'll often do a screen shot of the art in Reader, import it, and then compare it to the version using my substitute just as a double check.

I let it do the suggested replacement with Ariel.

8 colors? Or halftones for the Greys?

actually we are not printing this at all. It is an art file for some graphics / banners etc for one of my good customers and all they wanted me to do was remove a couple of elements of the design before they sent it to production. the original artist was out of contact and customer was on a tight schedule they simply asked if I cauld pinch hit.

Ah, cuz that would be a b*tch to print with all pantone colors, lol.

Any time I get a request for Pantone color work I don't even bother quoting the job I am just not that interested any more in becoming the screen printer some want me to be. I am really just happy to run to the end of my chain and bark 8)

Pantones are just spot colors. Usually a lot easier to do accurately than with the various process processes, assuming that one has enough heads for the particular job.
Mixing systems just about make it a no-brainer on most colors. And, with the Union system I use, there are even formulas for the stock colors which has gotten me out of a scrape more than once.

Hey Frog,
yes i agree but usually i find at least in my corner of the world when i get a customer referencing pantone, that is just the tip of the iceberg and there is a lot more to be discovered below the surface.
At this point in my multi hundred dollar business empire customers get a chance to pick their colors from my stock of ink available at the time of thier inquiry. i will tweak a color a little bit but very little but when they try to determine the variables between the ink i have and the PMS they remember from their computer I suggest they consult with a shop offering a broader spectrum of abilities.

Hopefully, you then have available color charts that their designers can use as reference. Many places offer this as well as the ability to mix and match.
