Well this is very good news indeed and I hope to see massive success for Charles and co. Its good to see it going Pro. I have a suggestion though - why not just call it Xara Pro. It sounds more "pro" than Xtreme Pro.
Pantone colours - good
Flash - meh, I already own Flash 8 pro so this doesnt knock me out. But its nice to have.
Multi page - Heck yeah! Excellent.
Its all sounding good and I will buy it if, and only if the ai and eps issue is sorted out. I get so many clients and other agencies sending me stuff produced in Illustrator and I have to fire up all kinds of software too try and open these damn files. I have Freehand 10 lurking here, which I will NEVER use to do anything productive with, but its sometimes a good translator. Funnily enough its Flash that is the best at importing ai and eps.
The overall lack of robust and versatile support for this industry standard file format has to be seriously looked at, or its "pro" tag will ring rather hollow methinks.
But well done so far you guys!
I'd start a revolution, if I could get up in the morning.
LOL it may be wrong, but it's shorter than Xtreme and some of us did buy a product called Xara Studio (which was remarkably similar to Xtreme) ..
..Oh and everybody knows what we mean when we (I) say 'Xara'..
..having a program called 'Xara 3D' also encourages people to use the term 'Xara' for the 2D product..

Personally, I've always felt slightly embarassed when people ask me what software I use and I tell them I use !!!Xtreme!!! I feel like I need to chug a Mountain Dew everytime I say it . Then I have to explain that they should check out the website and even though a lot of the site reads like marketing BS most of it is actually true.

And Xa is shorter than Xara.
It's the way it is though. I don't think Xara Xtreme is cumbersome personally. And you can call it just Xtreme, that's only 2 letters more.

Actually I agree. We should have called it Xara Pro. Too late now.
Whatever it's called, I've ordered my copy. It was the introductory discount that tipped the balance for me,

Oh, I dunno.. it's not just Pro..it's EXTREMELY Pro!
Picked up my copy for a steal at $99 beans. I was fully prepared to pay the full price just for the new upper left origin and multi-page features, was thrilled to learn of the upgrade price, and esctatic (is that even spelled right? probably not!) to see the extra discount.
A Xara product by any name is a product worth owning.
This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.
[QUOTE=Wolfgang;183567]Hi Bill,
I try to attach an .eps an a .pdf. Could you please try opening it with Pro and tell me if it worked ??
Hey Wolfgang - I managed to open that in Xtreme with no problem, so Pro should do it I would hope. It must be a particularly friendly EPS
