Can I Open Indesign File In CorelDraw Without Losing The Applied Effects?

i have been using Indesign for quite some time now and i have considerable experience in Corel too. My problem is that if i export an indesign file as PDF and then open it in CorelDraw, the file loses the effects i applied.
For example i apply blur effect on a picture in Indesign and after exporting it as a PDF, i open it in CorelDraw, the file would lose the Blur effect i applied.
I am confused how to retain the effects i applied in Indesign so that it shows up in Corel as well.I DO NOT wish to edit the file in Corel because the file would be transferred for printing purpose only.
Thanks in advance

Adobe and Corel products handle effects (like blur, or dropshadow, or even gradients) completely differently from each other. The only chance of having them move from one to the other is to rasterize any such effects before making the PDF (DO NOT save this over your original file!).
Note that I said it's a chance. Even these will be mishandled from time to time.
Good luck.
OB

  • Can I just ONCE sync my phone without losing the 39 gigs of music I have??

    Can I just ONCE sync my phone without losing the 39 gigs of music I have?? It never fails!!! I was thinking about buying my daughter an iPad mini this week, not so sure now. I've always had these issues, but this is outta control. I don't have the 4 full days it takes putting everything back on my phone. Thanks.

    Oh, I had this problem a while a go.
    I solved it by un-ticking the box that says "Sync Music" in the music syncing section for your device on iTunes then apply the changes (This could take a little while). Then un-plug your device and turn it off then back on. Then plug it back in, and let it back up and all the other stuff it has to do when you plug it in. Then turn on "Sync Music" again, then apply the changes. Un-plug the device and then turn it off and turn it back on again. See if that fixes all of your problems.

  • Can't open Indesign file. Error message says I need to upgrade plug-ins?

    I created a business card for my husband from my indesign 5.5 version. I haven't upgraded my version since creating the file and for some reason I can't open the file. I get the error message 'Cannot open "Business Card - Ryan.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.'
    When I look at the business card file with finder it says it was created with InDesign 5.5. When I view my InDesign application through my finder applications it says I have InDesign 5.5 so I'm not sure why this error message is saying to upgrade my version of InDesign.

    I wish I had a dollar for every person who claimed there was no way a file was saved in a later version only to find out it was.
    If you post a link to it someone here will save it back for you.

  • Can't open InDesign file in latest version of InDesign

    I've received InDesign files from a colleague, and when I open them it says it was created in a newer version of InDesign. We are both on Macs, CC subscription, and we are both up to date on CC (all apps up to date). Why can't I open his files??

    You need to download and install InDesign CC. You only CS6 installed.
    Easiest way to install InDesign CC is to go to creative.adobe.com and click on download center. Find InDesign CC and download from there.

  • Can't open indesign files sent via email

    hello, a customer sent me indesign-files (CS6, CS4 and IDML). i think they are using the mac version. i have indesign CS6 on pc and everytime i try to open one of the files, indesign reports an failure: missing file oder missing authorisation. does anyone know any solution?

    As previously mentioned, the files must be extracted from any archive and saved to a hard drive location before you open it. I have seen this error message once or twice in the past with a file that should have opened (stored on a network drive, which may have played a role), I think. They didn't happen to also include the .idlk file with what they sent? If so, delete it.
    Have you tried clicking the "As a Copy" radio button inthe open dialog to make a new, untitled copy? If that works you can save with a new name and move on.

  • Can't open Indesign files

    I can't open a Indesign file I have been working on for days! Get a message saying tha "filealianses" may be missing! What do I do?
    BR Nille

    What procedure are you using to open the file? Is the file supposed to be on a network share?
    We've seen reports of files on networks being changed to aliases. I believe restoring the name to the .indd extension may allow the file to reopen.

  • Can i open inDesign files from PC on an iMac?

    I'm looking to upgrade to a Mac. Will I be able to take my old PC Creative Suite 3 files and open them on a Mac, with an updated version of CS?

    Of course you can do that,there is no difference if you open a file on a Mac or a Pc and all the CS files are  readable by the updated version of CS.

  • I worked on a trial of LR 5 on a catalog and now can't open my files in my LR4 after the trial has expired. How do I access my catalog now?

    I upgraded my LR4 catalog for a trial LR5 and now can't open my original LR4 catalog. What do I do to open my files?

    It sounds as if you are using  the Lightroom 5 version from the creative cloud, and you don't have a subscription. The Lightroom behavior you are describing is what happens when you don't have an active creative cloud subscription. Upgrading catalogs from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5 does not do anything to the original catalog if you can find and start Lightroom 4, you should be able to start right where you left off. But any new files that you imported into Lightroom 5 will not be there. They will be on your hard drive and you can import them again. But you are going back to a catalog that was used up until you installed Lightroom 5. Hopefully, you didn't uninstall Lightroom 4.

  • Can not open InDesign file after crash

    I was recently updating a file for a client using CS3 InDesign for the Mac. The file was created in InDesign CS2 and when I went to save the file my InDesign crashed. When I went to reopen the file, I was given this message "Cannot open the file "xxxx". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."
    I've tried reopening from CS2, a PC InDesign and from other computers, but they all give the same message.
    This is a large document and I would hate to have to start from scratch, but I could use any suggestions or if anyone else has had the same issue with CS3?
    Thanks

  • Can't open InDesign files created on my mac on my pc

    I have both a Mac (@ home) and a PC (@ work). I recently installed CS5 Standard on both machines. Everything works great until I try opening something I've created on the Mac at home on my PC at work.  It tells me that I'm missing a plug in.  I did a standard install on both machines and the files I'm working with are all relatively simple.  Not sure what I need to do to make sure that I can work seamlessly cross platform.  I am aware that the fonts situation can be dicey going from machine to machine, but I expected to at least to be able to open files.  Can anyone help me?

    This is the only thing you can do unless you want to keep using an IDML workflow which I don’t recommend.

  • When I open InDesign files from our design team, the fonts don't show up even though I have them installed on my computer. How do I get it to recognize fonts I have installed?

    I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?

    ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
    I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive.

  • I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

    Files open and disappear in few seconds!

    It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

  • InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign, InCopy CC can

    I have CS5 to CC installed on my machine (MAC). Using indesign CS5 to create a layout then export all stories for inCopy. InCopy CS5 cannot open the indd. CC can... I can open the individual .icml files though. If I use InCopy CC, I can check in > edit > check out and save. InDesign CS5 will be able to re-open. A bit confuse now on why InCopy CS5 can't open InDesign files anymore. Event files created pre CC update. Attached are the errors I get when trying to open with InC CS5. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

    I know. That's why I don't understand. I really used CS5 to work with InCopy CS5. Even try older files that were saved prior to CC-CS6 update and I get the same error. Didn't have InCopy CS5. Install the demo version. Can it be the issue?

  • Can't open PNG files in PS CC

    Hi.
    I can't open png-files in PS CC. The following error message appears (Translated from Swedish): Can't fulfill your request because it's not the right type of document/file type.
    Can anyone help me with this, please?
    Thanks

    Okay I have gone over some common problems. I don't know what else it might be.
    Google "photoshop will not open png"  and see if there are some answers we might have both missed.

  • How do i print from indesign (CS4) landscape without losing the edges.

    i'm a PC to MAC newbe. Also moved from CS2 toCS4.
    can't for the life of me figure out how to print from indesign in landscape layout without losing the left 2.5 inches of print. having the same trouble with #10 envelopes.
    your help would be appreciated!

    Usually this problem has to do with choosing the correct size and orientation of paper, both page size and print paper size.
    IOW, if you want to print to a #10 envelope, start a new document that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope. Then when you print it, choose a paper size that is exactly the size of a #10 envelope.
    What size page are you printing, and what paper size are you choosing when you print it?
