An outline problem in Flexi (or Corel)

Another sign shop guy in town sends me lots of files to print. He designs everything with CorelDRAW X8. I open his files with CorelDRAW and export them as PDF files. Most of the files that he sends over with outlines open in my Flexi 11, like you see in the screen shot, with all the little unwanted triangles inside of the outline. My fix has been to select the font and put a Flexi outline around it, covering up the original outline. Is there a better way do do this? Am I doing something wrong in Flexi? Can something be done in CorelDRAW to keep outline files from opening up with all the unwanted triangles? Thanks.

 

Thanks for your reply, Zendavor Signs. It looks fine when opened with Corel. When opened as a PDF the exported PDF also looks fine. The customer did save the file in the attached screenshot as a PDF and sent it to me as a PDF. I guess that WYSIWYG is good in theory, but not always good in practice. And, it's been like this for years, in earlier versions of Flexi and CorelDRAW. I was just hoping that someone else has seen this same weirdness and fixed it.

 

Thanks to all for your input. Looks like while the file is in Corel, "Convert Outline to Object" is the way I'll fix this problem. I didn't see how to "release the compound" in Corel. Outlines may not be a good idea, but they've been around for a while and I'll bet they are here to stay, at lease, until all signage is digital (led).
