Full Version: PDF file issues

I usually have really good luck with importing pdf files into CorelDraw 12 Recently however, I have been getting pdf files that I can open just fine but when I try to import them into Corel they give me a "file is corrupt" message.

Does anyone know why this is happening or if there is any way to still use the file?

thank you!

Try opening them rather than importing them. If its multipage you can bring them in one at a time.

Thank you Patty.

I tried opening them and doing a copy paste, however that doesn't work either. Is that what you meant? Or is there another way?

No - I mean from Corel, open the PDF instead of importing. Just the same as if you were opening a native Corel file.

Ok, I'll give that a try. Thank you.

Send me the file and I'll see if I can do anything with it. Sometimes Adobe will do odd things to PDFs - especially with colors.

It wouldn't open for me in Corel 12 either but I did get it to work in X3. When I look at how it was created with my Adobe Distiller I do see some flaky color issues. Why X3 can handle them and not 12? - I don't know. I thought at first it was a PDF version issue, but its the same PDF version as my files that work.

Here's a Corel 12 version for you to use.

I can't believe it happened again but with a different file. What could be causing this to happen all of a sudden? I never had this problem before. Could it be a new version of Adobe that doesn't work well with Corel 12?

Something akin to that I'm sure. The one I converted was created in Adobe CS2. Software is a wonderful thing - one company comes out with the latest greatest and all the others have to fix theirs. Just ask Vista users.

Any suggestions on what I can do to read these files? Do I need to get the newest version of CorelDraw?

Did you try saaving the file to your CorelDraw folder and then open from there using the pdf filter?
