    no idea… x3 would not open the eps had to open it in illy and make it a pdf then to 12 in x3 😕

    Corel 14 is out now may be you should try the demo and see if that works?

    Hi
    Tried it in X4 it came out green, solid top color with a green blend underneath if you deleted the top layer so nothing like what is posted

    I distilled the eps in Acrobat (V5) imported into X4 which imported fine with shapes as fountain fill and correct, applied boundary and job done. I had no luck importing the eps or a pdf made from Cutepdf.
