I have a Word doc that I need as a pdf or eps or cdr that I can then manipulate for a cutting job.
Thanks in advance

Just some type... font is live and came up as Ariel, so I don't know if that's correct... you might want to proof it with the customer.

Very strange. Both open fine in Acrobat Reader, but in CoreDRAW, Here are the results. (I guess the Corel haters can gloat, lol!)

Dan's condensed and swapped x's and dots and place savers, and Command's added funny lines.

The customer just called and said that at least these are not even a Christmas rush, so if need be, I will figure out math symbols and just re-do the type.

As for their significance, Pierre, I have no idea.

I can't use any pixel based file as this is being cut on a plotter.

Yeah, he was just here and told me what it was. I hadn't had time to get back to you yet, but I see it finally clicked.

He's essentially saying in mathish, "let there be light!"

what's funny, is I have seen those or the simpler version of it in several different schools over a period of almost 15 years. Actually had a class specifically dealing with the subject matter at one point in time, it's just that it was so long so I could not remember any of it. It seemed like something that I should recognize though. Thus the nagging feeling . . .

Okay guys, the client went back to the drawing board and sent me a pdf, which opens for me.
So, although the fonts change, we may be in business.
The formula being a Word object seems to really bugger it up because he also sent me a cdr that just shows a bounding box for the formula when I view as wire frame.

The pdf, however may be quite usable.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he gives me the O.K. on the version I sent back.

Thanks all.

I am being told that he is missing the bottom part which says: "and there was light!"
might want to ask your customer . . .
