inline graphics to curves

 Does anyone know of a workaround for the X7 inline graphic limitation that now you can no longer convert the text to curves, which I need to to for my workflow?

Always worked great in X5, but now X7 gives you a dialog box telling you the graphic will disappear. Bummer.

Thanks,

joan

  • One workaround is to Publish to PDF with "Export all text as curves" (Objects tab) enabled, and then reimport the PDF to Draw.
    I suggest Compatibility level Acrobat 5.0 or higher to preserve transparency.

    I don't think it ever worked as expected... I tried in X5, same warning dialog.

    • Oh, I guess I should have clarified. . . my workflow is to export to AI with fonts converted to curves in the dialog box.
      That always worked fine in X5 but not in X7.
