Try a search Dean, has been talked about before with adobe products but I don’t really use them so can’t help.

stick up a low res jpeg to see what the problem is please

The problem it is a vector and it is made up of thousands of small parts and is too big even in a jpeg format

If using Illustrator;
copy and past in front (so you have an exact duplicate), hide the selection to make it easier and only have one copy on the artboard
select all
expand stroke
select all
fill all with any colour
merge
select all and fill again with any colour
merge again
remove fill and you should be left with just the stroke which you can expand path if you want it slightly bigger than the image. -
Still struggling please find a link to download the file
all help will be much appreciated

sorry I tried but there is something wrong with that file and it opens weirdly
-
sorry forgot to add, from what I could see in the preview if you follow my instructions above it should work fine, you might just have to leave the expanding part out if it doesn’t have any strokes.
