Advice on the following would be much appreciated thanks.
1. I'm running OCAD 9 and want to import the official Park Logo (~3x3cm) as a graphic. V9 won't handle jpeg and when I try pdf it gets lost somewhere in the background. How can I do this (with minimal effort)?
2. Can anyone provide me with an ISSOM Legend I can cut and paste (again looking for a labo(u)r saving approach here)?
Any help greatly appreciated and my email for reference is:

As a quick and dirty solution to problem 1, if you put the jpg file in as a background map, and just export the whole map as a pdf with that background map open, it will contain the jpg file (contained as a raster segment, with a selectable resolution) as part of the overall map. If your use is just to run it off to the printer as a four-color pdf, this might work in the short run. Otherwise, if you have some other software product that can take in a jpg file and spit out a dxf file, I think the OCAD will be able to import that format.

Or send me/point me to the park logo, and I'll tell you whether I can easily turn it into 0CAD stuff.

Yes that's the one :)
BTW your pic isn't loading on my iPad so I can't read email address. Will try on a PC tomorrow.
