Charles,
This looks fantastic! I'm really excited about these new features. I'm going to download the trial today.
Can't wait to get the finished product.

Wolfgang, you'll be glad to know that pdf import is in development and we hope to ship it with Pro, but that current Betas do not have this filter. (My internal version does and loads that file fine). Secondly it does load that eps file as well, as demonstrated earlier (although not by drag and drop - we can look at that).
And yes we do regard file interchange a priority and are doing what we can - and the answer to your question is yes, we will load both eps and pdf files.
Wolfgang, I Opened the eps file and it opened with a prg I didn't even remember having.
The pdf simply opened in Acrobat Reader.

Wow.
Thanks & congratulations.
I think the decision to divide this in Pro and regular is a very vise one, and I feel that the new improvements actually justify the Pro-moniker. In any case they will make my everyday work easier, and even enable me new job opportunities.
I feel that Xara is listening to us now, which is great.
Hurray for improved import!
I agree that .ai and eps import into Xtreme have been a problem. I even had to download a trial copy of Illustrator to get client supplied artwork into Xterme. (still recovering from the experience) After a bit of research I discovered that Coreldraw and Serifdraw pro could both open the same file too. - Either of which were on my shopping list should the client come back after the 30 days.
Fingers crossed that the final version of Xtreme pro can come up with the goods. It would be nice to be able to import ai's and eps' from swift 3d too!
So far everything new is great and I'm very glad (since I live in France) with the support for accented caracters. But I can't make the flash animation backround transparent for the web. I had this same problem with the animated gifs, but Egg solved that for me (us). See thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...286#post170286This trick doesn't work with the flash animations though. What am I doing wrong?
I see that there's a forum for XtremePro, so I post this there also...

From a fortnight ago:Wolfgang's EPS and PDFs are here. Did the PDF import filter get dropped for the final release?
I have tried dragging and dropping a few PDFs but get errors either to say that no filter recognises them, or that there were no images found in my HTML document.

Charles Moir posted to say that Xtreme 'likes' the Core 2 Duo chips (I think we all do?!) without being able to take advantage of multiple processors, and elsewhere also says that Xtreme works in Vista save for some permission problems which they're working on.

Important Note: After purchase you will be able to unlock the trial but please note that the CD & manual are not yet in production (expected in stock Jan 07). The software is fully unlocked but this means you will not have access to some resources that are only on the CD (some clipart, plugins, fonts). The PDF import filter is only included on the CD version.
