    It will open in Illustrator but its a 3d image and it Won’t fill. We rarely get a file we can’t open somehow. You will not be able to use this in any signmaking programme as it is. I would go back and ask the customer what programme it was created in. You will need to get them to send it as a hi-res Jpeg because you will only be able to print it. It will not be possible at all to cut it from vinyl Its not that kind of image. I have attatched a Jpeg of the file so you can see what opens.

    Peter how did you get the pdf as this looks like something I could work with but the middle is missing did you manage to convert from the 3D.
