[artworks] ArtWorks PDF export, with text, to Xara

I am attempting to export a number of ArtWorks graphics files, some with
text and some without text, to XaraXtremePro4, in PDF format.

So far, all the plain graphics files seem to export OK and are readable in
both AdobeReader 8.1 and XaraExtremePro4. The files are exported as
drawings not pages. I'll be rash and say that they appear to display
perfectly.

However, the files containing drawings and text have me baffled. They
display OK in AdobeReader but not Xara - the drawing is fine but not the
text. Again the files are exported as a drawing not a page, with the fonts
embedded.

Converting text to shapes enables both the text and the drawing to display 
in Xara but I can't see how to edit the file from there on.

There is a need for the recipient to be able to edit the text in Xara
(possibly, changing both the font and the layout), which I am told is
possible, but so far cannot fathom how. The recipient may then need to
export from Xara in another vector file format, or possibly PDF/PDFX.

At the moment I am rather out of my depth. Any suggestions, please.

Cheers, Brian
