Incompatible Archive File Formats
Aarrgh! Why can’t application developers just agree on a few formats and then stick to them. I’ve been having problems with a file created just two years ago. The only bit of software that will read it is the program that created it. I can’t even persuade Corel Draw to open the pdf.
Now I’m stuck with the option of using the the original application or re-working the design from scratch. It’s not anything complicated, it’s just the sheer replication of effort that annoys me. Hardly an ideal state of affairs…
So if there is anyone out there who fancies knocking up a quick flyer advertising a caravan for let, drop me a line (Or better yet drop me a finished file…)

if you’re trying to open a PDF have you tried Photoshop or Illustrator?
Unfortunately I only have access to CorelDraw X3, in the way of layout/design software. (And a few odd linux apps)
email me the PDF?
No need, I redid it last night. Spent more time bitching about it than it took to redo. Was a very simple layout…
