I supply files to a local sign maker as PDF as well as .ai & .eps and he has no trouble opening them. Don't use a lot of RGB effects like shadows as there are always ways around that but do use transparencies which are rendered as bitmaps on export. Is it the driver that is causing the problem or software that is used I think my sign maker uses FlexSign????.

It’s FlexiSign 8 that I’m running and some PDF files come in OK. I just created two 3D blocks with lighting and they came in na bother but then I tried to open a PDF of that old wall clock from a tutorial that I followed some time back and all I got was three lines. So it looks as if complex files are having some difficulties on import.
Still a problem...
Will need to have a look at old tut and see if there is a problem which I could identify. With the 3 lines that you describe could it be a memory rendering problem?

My computers memory is much better than mine, with 8G RAM and two GeForce graphics cards all water cooled. This thing is faster than my car so what next...
Will try that tut tonight then and see what happens will be back tomorrow morning with some sort of answer. If my memory is as good as my 16Gb it was a 2 part tut that Gary produced for the pendulum clock.

Good Lad! 16Gb, I’m impressed. Look forward to see if you had any luck with the clock. If you like I can email the Xara file to you...
