Bruce SignBlazer Support 0 Posted August 14, 2007 The problem with that file is that the file is actually a pdf file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted August 14, 2007 exactly. You need to get it into bitmap or jpg form and vectorize it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wg_kjell 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Sorry to intrude. But that is really not a bitmap. It is an Adobe Illustrator file embedded into a PDF-layer, so to read it you must encode the datastream to extract it to an AI-file. (which can be pretty complex) Or in simpler words, open it in a AI-compatible software and resave it as AI, and uncheck the Compression-option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
