    Default Importing PDF in Xara Designer Pro

    Hi Guys,

    I'm trying to import a pdf into Xara and getting the following error message:

    PDF Import: pdf2xar exit code nonzero

    I've never had this problem previously when opening a pdf in Xara

    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?

    Yes it does. I tried opening the pdf in Illustrator and saving in pdf from Illustrator, but it still does not open in Xara

    Other PDFs do work?

    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?

    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
