Problems importing PDF into Flexi

[Texas_Signmaker]

Hey, I've been having problems importing some types of PDFs into Flexi. I get the "this file type is not supported error" sometimes, even though when I open it up in Acrobat it views fine.

In case anyone else is having this issue I've had luck with converting the PDF into EPS with this site: Convertio — File Converter

Doesn't Acrobat have an option to "save as" or "export"? That may be Acrobat Pro not "Acrobat Reader" though

If it does I can't find it.

Which do you have Acrobat Pro or just Reader? Do you have Photoshop or Illustrator?

Reader. I have the others but I only use Flexi

Try opening the pdf in illustrator and save out again as pdf. Then try flexi on that file. If things still get "scattered" you can always open in photoshop and save as a flattened tif. Only drawback is having to do one page at a time.

Depending on the version of Flexi you have, there could be some Problems with newer PDF-File-Versions or newer effects in PDF-Files.

Another thing to try is open in Illustrator and save as a native Illustrator file. Flexi generally takes those just fine too. I've not really had any problems with Flexi 12 on PDF here.
