    any ideas?

    Cheers

    I’ve just imported it successfully into Corel 9. Use the Postscript Interpreted filter.

    Corel didn’t read it well enough.. but I would have just edited the layers to get it right, the vector data was there…

    I opened it in Illustrator CS and saved as PDF.. Opened PDF in Corel 12.. bingo.

    The printers gave u the file in Adobe CS EPS format..

    The other thing.. if you was trying to Import the File into Corel… it defaults as “EPS Ecapusalted Format”, which will just put a ‘thumbnail/lo-res’ placement file in corel… you have to change the filter to ‘Postscript Interperted.’

    Update: Note the butterfly andy. it was all solid purple.. as it is not.
