Importing PDF into Coreldraw

[Justin]

Having a couple of issues doing this. If I drag and drop or import it changes the colours of the image. I've opened the image up in Photoshop and re-saved as a PDF and it looks ok when imported but possibly some loss in quality, could it be the original saved PDF is at fault?

I had the same problem today.... trying to open PDF in coreldraw and it started moving "individual" parts of my design... ended up in a right mess so went back into PS and sorted it in there :-/

There are variables when saving a pdf that you can adjust - maybe whoever saved it first didn't have these set correctly.

Could well be the case, I'll need to check that.

open it up with Corel pdf Fusion

[Justin]

OK, opened up with Fusion but can't see any benefit other than saving another way...which I can do in Adobe?

The imported/dragged image almost appears to look like a negative of the actual picture.

is the pdf actually vectors or a placed image saved as pdf?.. do you have Illustrator?.. try opening it up in that and saving as .ai then open in CDR.. you can send it to me if you don't have Illustrator and I'll take a look for you..

Opened it in Illustrator and saves as eps, looked ok on screen but slight problem when printing. I will try with ai format as well.

a few weeks ago, i posted up the reverse, that when i exported a corel document into a pdf it changed colours completely - got no help then, so i cant help lol

When you open a new document in Illustrator, the screen gives 2 options, cmyk and rgb, which should I choose?
