Have corel x4 on win xp.
new customer sent me a logo as a pdf. in the past i have no issue with this.
I save to computer, import to corel x4, error: file corrupt
i try opening with corel, same error.
After reading a bunch of posts on here regarding file formats ect. i save the attachment to my desktop and dragged it into coreldraw.
It went there BUT, i can not do anything with it. object managers shows
OLE Acrobat Document Object
I can select and deselect it but that is it, do not have group or ungroup, convert to curves, etc. It is not showing as bitmap. cant change color.

Any help????
Thanks CHad

You can post it here and we'll see if we can open it for you and save it back to X4.

That means that they have saved in a newer version of Illustrator than your X4 can import. The easy fix is to have them save it to CS/3 or earlier.
