That does make sense, and I told my client that after he payed for my design I would make any corrections for a minimal price and I do mean minimal. First time I ever sold something i Drew so I was excited enough to help him because he surely helped me.

We all have to start somewhere and your offer sounds both wise and generous.

CS 5.1 (there is no CS 5.5 Illustrator). Created in XDP8, opened in AI. You can see the gradient is intact, the text is the Minion Pro I defined in Xara. There is a message about updating the text. Mapped fine.

Mike - Did you export a Xara EPS file or an Illustrator .ai file?

And did you try to import it back into Xara?

Yep, seems the forum doesn't accept display of EPS files, Frank. Which, the Xara file is also so named, of course.

Gary,

As I mentioned in the thread, the Xara file was exported to an EPS file and opened in Illy. There is no need to bring it back into Xara when one has the original XAR file...As well, the customer didn't ask for a XAR file and the issue was supplying said customer an EPS (and evidently) a PDF.

For what it is worth, the export setting of AI/EPS in Xara simply produces an identical file. Just the extension is changed.

As for importing back into Xara, sure, here it is. And yes, Xara doesn't recognize its own noted font resource in its EPS files. No worries, Xara makes it easy peasey to alter undefined fonts.

Take care, Mike

Can you attach your Xara originated .eps file? It seems peculiar that two almost identical files from the same program can produce such entirely different results.
