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?

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.

Patty,
Many many thanks!
