I need to do a program layout. Companies are sending me pdf files. They look great in the adobe viewer but when I copy, or take snapshop or save and try to import into coreldraw 12 the images breakdown and look pixilated and fonts are substituted. What can I do?? I need help quick!! How can I make fonts outlined so I don't need every font that's in every ad? Is there another program I need to get - I'm open to recommendations.
Oh, I'm so glad it's not just me I've been trying to find the answer to this question for quite some time. Hope some of the gurus out there can help with this one.
If the corel "powers that be" monitor this forum this is what we want - a pdf import filter that:when we get pdf files from any source, we would save them into a file.Then in the corel import filter dialog box we would have an option to mark to be able to; 1) import it so we can edit it 2) change fonts or have it 3) convert all the text to outlines or graphics so fonts are kept as is and there's no need to have all the fonts or subsititutions. We also need it to be in the same resolution as it was sent. (Now I get pdf that look great in adobe reader but when imported into corel they are low resolution and very pixilated.) and oh yeah - we want it asap!!
FIX OPTION: But until then - my very smart, charming husband - found a way around itWe loaded a ps (postscript driver in my printer list) we used - HP C Laser jet 4500-PS --- open your pdf in adobe - go into file - down to print then put in the ps driver in the window - hit ok.it will prompt you for an output file name - I just put it in my temp directory c:\temp\filename.epsthe name has to have .eps then go into corel draw and import it - everything is in place, fonts are perfect, resolution is great.yipee it works just dandy!!
