PS: You actually have to turn the paths into guides (View > Guides > Make Guides) in order for the anchors of the mesh to snap to them.

Use Envelope Distort > Make with Mesh. Create two paths as a guide, then just distort the path using this mesh by manipulating the control points of the mesh so they will snap to the guide paths. This way the text will be shrinking gradually (depending on how good job you do with aligning the anchors) and at the same time, the text remains live and editable. See attached image. At the very bottom, I’ve simply retyped the distorted text, since it remained editable.
You can also download the enclosed AI CS4 file.

If you trashed your preferences and it still doesn’t work, then chances are your file got corrupted one way or the other and have to start over. It happened to me before.

Select the eyedropper, select the gradient stop and hold Shift to pick color from the image into the gradient stop.

So what is the problem? You can open PDF files in AI just fine.
You can also rename a .PDF file to .AI and it “becomes” and AI file and opens just fine in AI. Select the page to open, and save it as AI.
Is that hard?

It’s not an AI problem. It’s a C4D “problem”. You have to close the spline from within C4D.

First of all, select the whole logo and ungroup it (since everything is a single group).
Now select the inner and outer part of the objects that are filled with white. For example select the outer (gray) part of the letter O and its inner white filling. So you have 2 separate objects selected now (the outer O and the inner white filling.) Right click > Make Compound Path.
Do this for all objects that you want the white part to be transparent.
