Hi Guys,

Can you just drag an drop the PDF from the desktop, or an open folder, onto the page?
At times it allows me to open it but the entire pdf is opened as a jpeg file with lots of info and all grids or blocks within the document missing.
Zaahir, does the PDF open in Acrobat Reader as it sounds that it might be flaky?
Acorn
Yes it does. I tried opening the pdf in Illustrator and saving in pdf from Illustrator, but it still does not open in XaraQuote:

Check you have pdf2xar.exe in your installation.
Have you run the XDA as Admin?
Failing all this can you give us access to the PDF?

How do I check if I have pdf2xar.exe in my installation?Quote:

use file explorer to check here:
C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X11\Filters\ENG\PDFImport
for pdf2xar.exe, assuming you are using program version 11 as stated in your profile... if not, change path accordingly
The file does open at times but as a jpeg file. the issue with that is certain letters are missing from the document as well as all lines blocks/grids
Every page has a grey block which can be removed (see attached)
Unfortunately the site is not allowing me to upload more images
I'm using version 16 currently
Attached is what I'm seeing currently
I've done this. But the file still does not openQuote:

Pity, you omitted the file sizes but the datetimes are identical apart from you being an hour before me.Quote:

If you are not uploading to us then you need to engage with Xara directly.
Acorn
Attached is the file sizes as well as the pdf
Zaahir, the file sizes are identical. Only the msi file differs.Quote:

It does, however, only render as Shapes, no OCR text or text fields.
If that is what you are expecting, here is the same imported: Attachment 133985
If you are working on PDFs regularly then contact Xara for sorting out your installation.

Thanks a lot Acorn. I really appreciate your assistance.Quote:
