Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 11, 2016 You should be able to just open it up with AI. go to your file and use Open With > Adobe Illustrator . The other option is to open AI and then use the File>Open and it will open it up usually. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 11, 2016 pdf's have the ability to carry vector designs. Not all pdf's are vectors but they CAN be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can open it up in Ai but i cant figure out to transform it to vector, when i try it my way the image gets screwed up.. Ill send you the file to look at it. I dont want you to do it ,maybe explain for me to learn.. thanks .. Is on page 8 or 9 its german shepard 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted March 11, 2016 If it already has the vector then you just have to look in the file stack and maybe remove a clipping path or something like that. If no vector is there at all then you are just doing a trace similar to a regular pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Primal Decals 621 Posted March 11, 2016 i opened up the file info on the pdf and it was originally created in Corel draw ,so i tried that program as well , but i havent used it enough to understand it like i do ai. maybe ill just try to find a good image.Its for my buddy that raises german shepards and its his bday... No money made from this one... otherwise he will just get soimething else from me lol..would still like to figure it out sometime. thanks for the time..

Sue2 920 Posted March 11, 2016 Sometimes in Corel you have to un-group the page to get the vectors. Are you SURE it is vector? Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn's Design 403 Posted March 12, 2016 I traced it in inkscape. You can copy and paste one picture at a time from pdf. then did a little work in corel and saved it to a ai file. Not very hard at all. Glad I could help!!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
