Thanks for the responce.......
However thats it exactly! I just need to open the file in DRAW so I can
place it on the plate where I want it -without fighting with adobe margins
etc. etc.
But the files almost never open up - even just so I can place them on the
page - like they do in adobe reader etc.
without MAJOR font issues - and on the same PC I can open it up in
everything else? I don't get it - I don't even want to edit the text
usually - just open, place and print.......
argh!
;-)

Then place the file, instead of embedding it, which is what you are
doing......
That way you DO NOT need the fonts........... import, look for a checkbox
with something like "create link" "link file"
