    Importing PDF into Coreldraw

    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.

    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.

    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.

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