help with a file conversion please
Posted by Marcella Ross on July 26, 2007 at 11:17 amI’m struggling with this pdf file. I can open and view it fine but when I save it as an eps it goes funny.
All I need from this is the scottie dog logo 😕 and the text that reads ‘Clear Run Agility’. The rest I don’t need as I already have that part fine.
I want to import this into Signlab so a cdl file would be perfect. Alternatively ai, eps or an X3 file would be OK too..
When I try this the tartan disappears and the outline on the text also disappears ……….Marcella Ross replied 16 years, 9 months ago 8 Members · 27 Replies -

🙁 nope
I can reproduce the Clear Run Agility part ……… but the dog is a major problem. He’s all over the place when I try to import it.
There are layers in him ……….. There is a large tartan bit running behind it with black boxes over the top. Now if I can get it into Signlab I can clip it to suit leaving just the tartan muzzle. But that’s what I can’t seem to manage …….. getting him into Signlab looking like that. The tartan disappears. -
Don’t know if this is any help it’s in X3. The tartan appears to be a bitmap – I would just draw your own in X3

nope ……….. still the same. The tartan disappears when I import it into signlab.

the tartan is a bitmap. But if I can get it into signlab then I can clip it to the correct shape. But it’s not importing.
I can import this into Corel and Adobe fine ……….. but I just need the dog to import in Signlab 🙁
-
try this then… I can get the PDF into SL?

Hi Marcella
I tried in CS3 but there is something well weird happening there, the tartan is a file from a podcast 😕 image and somehow pasted there.
sorry 😥

Right here’s what I’m getting now………….
when I try to clip the tartan shape I get an error saying ‘cannot clip a clipped object. Weld the 2 clipping paths together’. 😕

If you look at it just as outlines its a mess 😕 I have a look in a mo.
-
😕 ………… I know. I’ve asked him to give me it as I need it ………. but he can’t do it!!!!!
Regardless of what I try with it I cannot get the shape needed. The tartanpodcast bit remains.
I hate designers ……………. 👿
today is a sh1te day! This and an L200 that no outline exists for ………… I’ve had enough. 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥

It’s the way it’s constructed – If you delete bits in the PDF the tartan is not cropped it’s just covered up by black objects.

I know ………… all I want to do is clip it to the required shape and get rid of all the black boxes.

:cheer:
It’s still a really crap logo though ………… I still don’t like it.

……….. even though you were a bit slow ……………… 🙄 😉
