Convert PDF to Corel Draw X4

I have read a lot on How to convert a ".PDF" to a ".cdr".  I've tried using the Import function and a routine called "Cool PDF Reader".Both of these work fine if you are converting a "simple" (one idea) drawing. However,my problem is none of these routines do an "un-weld".

 

To give an example of what I may want to do is: I came across a ".pdf" file that had some artwork designed to be a scroll saw template. I can bring them into Corel Draw and do several things. The art work was a circle that had lettering on the outside curve of the circle. I wanted to change the wording. I went to the Corel Draw menu Arrange>Shaping and brought up the sub-menu. Weld was enabled but UnWeld was not.

Is there any way, any routine that will allow you to un-weld a graphic?

Thanks,

Sam

    The reason you get one object instead of the circle and the text separated, is simply because that's how it was created in the first place. Draw doesn't weld them together on import and there's unfortunately no way to (easily) "Un-weld" them again.
    The description supplied by Otto is one way to solve it.
