Can InDesign CS3 open Corel Draw files?

Hi,
We have Corel Draw files that need to be converted to InDesign CS3. Can you advise if InDesign can open them?
Thank you
Barb

No. Indesign can Place EPS or PDF files saved from CorelDraw.
Illustrator can open CorelDraw files. You could then copy and paste from
Illustrator, although if it were me I think I would want to keep my
drawings in Illustrator, not Indesign.

  • Can Indesign CS4 open CS2 files?

    Simple question, can Indesign CS4 opeen old CS2 files? Someone told me it can't. If that's true it's a disaster.

    [Jongware] - I know that, I'm not asking about CS2 opening CS4 but vice versa.
    BobLevine - that's what I'm asking. I hope you're right, thanks!
    It's incredibly important to me because time has come to upgrade my computer, and I have CS2 on it, but I've heard Windows 7 doesn't want to run CS2 at all, so if I upgrade to Win7 I'll have to upgrade the CS as well. And then someone told me ID4 can't open ID2 files anymore. That would render all my older work unusable.

  • Can InDesign 6 open a document created in InDesign 4?

    Can InDesign 6 open a document created in InDesign 4?

    I have opened CS3 files without issue, so CS4 files shoudn't be a problem. If you are using CS6 or CC and you want to save a file to open in CS4, save the file as an .idml file. See here http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/save-indesign-files-previous-versions.html for more information.

  • I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview

    I can no longer open PSD Photoshop files on Preview since I installed Snow Leopard on my White MacBook. Whenever I double click a PSD file, it opens in Photoshop.
    I used to force PSD files to be opened with Preview by "Get Info" (command + I ) and then Changing the option "open with" to Preview.
    I also tried draggin the PSD file onto Preview, nothing happened.
    Did Snow Leopard stop PSD support, or I'm missing something??

    No, I can still open psd files in Preview, no problem, from both Preview's "Open" dialog and by drag 'n drop onto its icon. It opens simple psd files without error, files with an alpha channel may or may not open correctly, layers will display the topmost layer, if that layer has a mask it displays incorrectly. In short, nothing seems to have changed.

  • Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

    Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.
    Jack

    1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
    2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
    free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc.  here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

  • Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4?

    Why can't I open my RAW files in my trial version of Photoshop Lightroom 4? I use a Canon 5d mark II, which is supposed to be supported, and I checked for updates, but none were found.

    You cannot open files directly with Lr.
    You have to import them.

  • After loading Mavericks, I can't see/open attached pdf files

    after loading OS X Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, I can't see/open attached pdf files. I've checked my Security Preferences in Safari and Enable Java Script and Allow Plug-Ins are both selected. Any ideas as to what I need to do???

    I checked as you noted above - this is what comes up
    Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in, Version 10.1.7
    so I assume (?) that it is installed. 
    I just went into my hydro bill and tried to open the pdf version and, low and behold, it opened.  So somewhere in between when I reinstalled it yesterday (after your suggestion) and just now, it is working!!!
    So thank-you for your help!!.  Cheers.

  • Why can't I open any PDF files ?

    Why can't I open any PDF files ?

    I am running Safari Version 5.1.5 (6534.55.3) on my iMac 10,1.  After my last Adobe update, my pdf files are nothing but a black window.  Have tried reverting to an earlier version of Adobe, but still getting a black window.  What next steps should I take?  Thanks.

  • Why can't I open up xls files?

    Why can't I open up xls files? I'm new with the mac so please help?

    Another possibility... If you have an older version of Excel, and the file you are trying to open is a new version with an .xlsx extenstion, then you need a converter to open it. (Sorry, I don't remember where to get it, because it didn't work for the first year that I tried it before I upgraded to Office 2011 at work.) Weird, since I'm able to open them on my iPhone, but not on my iMac. I've asked friends to save as an older version; some know how to use "save as".
    It can also happen cross-platform. If your file is from someone using a new version on a PC, and you don't have the equivalent version on the Mac, it might not open. On the PC, the extension doesn't show, so they may not know what version it is. But when they pen Excel, it will say as it opens.

  • Tell me, if they can be as open damage ai files ?

    After accidental format recover files and some of them do not open. Namely files with a resolution of .ai illustrator. The program says that the file format is unknown to her. Tell me, if they can be as open damage ai files ???

    I have the same problem was at least five times. I have always forcibly closed.
    On the sixth, I realized that we must patiently wait until Illustrator saves the file. But if you need to restore it then try
    AI Viewer Tool from http://www.ai.viewertool.com/ Or read this:

  • Can Corel Draw files be opened in any CS3 application?

    A client provided a multi-page Corel File to be printed. It will not open in or cannot be placed into Illustrator. Is there some kind of a third party conversion tool out there?

    Illustrator CS3 can directly open Corel files up to version 10. Ask the client to save the CorelDraw file as version 10. Then open each page individually in Illustrator and save each page separately. There is likely to be some font and item slight shifting, so it's not a good idea to do this unless you need to extract anything or edit something.
    Or do what Bob suggested and ask for a print ready PDF all ready to go.

  • Open Corel Draw documents in InDesign?

    Hi,
    We have numerous documents built in Corel Draw 12 and previous versions. We need to convert them to InDesign CS3 files. Can this be done? If so, what kind of issues would we facing?
    Thank you,
    Barb

    No easy way. You can save them as EPS and open them in Illustrator but
    that's going to break the text up into numerous disconnected pieces.
    From there you can either place or copy/paste (depending on layout and
    what object it is) into InDesign.
    Another idea would be to create PDFs and then use PDF2ID from Recosoft
    to open those in ID.
    Best bet however is to keep using CorelDRAW for the old stuff and create
    new pieces with InDesign.

  • Can InDesign CC open PageMaker files?

    I'm trying to open some old PageMaker files using InDesign CC and it doesn't seem to work. Do I need a plug-in?

    I was not able to open a Pagemaker File directly with InDesign CC. We got the same message that you did that you need a plug-in to open the file, but there is no plug-in available. None of that Ctrl+D or place stuff that Adobe told us to try worked on the macs. We never tested their support suggestions on Windows
    However we were able to open the very same file with CS6. Fonts and a very simple relinking of the Images were all we had to do, then save it as a CS6 InDesign file and then open it with CC InDesign.
    An example of a feature that was in CS6 InDesign and gone from CC.
    Hope this real answer based upon a real person's experiences help.
