  • PDF conversion – coreldraw 12

    Posted by John Gregson on December 1, 2008 at 12:00 pm

    Hi all,
    I’ve got a Screenprint job on at the moment and the client has sent a pdf which I can’t import into coreldraw. Could anyone please do me a big favour and convert it to a coreldraw 12 file or pdf that I can import into Coreldraw 12.

    Cheers John

    If I open it in illustrator and save it down in a legacy format, that should work.

    If you want to email it we can give it a go.

    Hi Adrian,
    Thanks for having a go but all the text seems to have dissapeared with just the logo and tel number left.

    Cheers John

    Hi Russell, just checked and the fonts changed, the tel numbers and main body of text is wrong. Whoever sent the original mustn’t of converted to curves.

    Cheers John

    Cheers Adrain, I’ll have to get back to the customer and ask for it to be sent how I asked for it in the first place – text to paths or curves. 😕

    Been having a search and cant find the font anywhere 😕 Strange! Loads of sites use it, but no free downloads and no places list it to buy.

    Try this.

    I don’t have the actual Meta font in the document, but have substituted with Meta from another foundry.

    Saved as AI3. Let me know if you can’t open that and I’ll try as a pdf.

    Hi John – when i tried imported it, it still came up with substitute fonts. Did you convert text/fonts to curves/paths.

    Cheers John

    John,

    Perhaps this one will work. Text to curves in Acrobat – saved to ver 12
