    Its created in Adobe Illustrator CS2, I have CS1 and it complains of being created in a newer version, also when importing the user didn’t save it with "Compatible with PDF or older Illustrators" and it imports with "Not saved with PDF data" all over it.

    What do you want to do with it Nick?

    By rasterising the image to 72dpi I have got it down to 7.9Mb, but that’s probably not good enough if you want to print it.

    As a pdf it comes out at 1.4Mb. I could email that directly to you to see if it works.
