DOWNLOAD an ADOBE PDF READER program. ADOBE ACROBAT is just a VIEWER. will let you look at stuf but you can manipulate anything in it unless you purchase the FULL ADOBE ACROBATE. i have PDFill editor. its free.

if you have illustrator
create a new file click on file ...place and select the PDF file check link but not on template, then ok.
the file will display with a bounding box click on object flatten transparency in the other dialog box make the raster to vector set to 100% vector check convert all text to outlines et voilą!

if it is vector graphics to begin with, you can IMPORT the pdf file directly into CorelDRAW! and it should still be editable vector graphic- I do this between Illustrator and CDX3 (recently X6)

We sometimes receive pdf files that Corel X4 can't read. I susupect they are from Illy. My solution is to read it with a pdf reader/writer then make a new pdf from the old pdf with the writer. This second pdf will be coded slightly differently and Corel can import it.
Note that some pdf's contain bitmaps along with vectors. My work around does not change the bitmaps into vectors.
Works for us!

X3 won't open newer pdfs that came from a higher version of Illustrator. It's frustrating of course. I have used a free shareware vector program called Inkscape to open these. Then I save them as an eps and import into Corel. It often works.
