Converting from Corel Draw - Colour Issues

Hi,
I am having an issue with colours changing on me when I convert files Corel Draw files in to AI files. The colours seem to get darker. Any thoughts? This is very frustrating as I am converting files to AI but this is making it rather painful.
Thanks,
Chris

Eitehr color profile issues or simply a limitation of the conversion process. You have not provide any detailed info or screenshots, so all we can do is guess...

How to import data from corel draw file

Dear Fellows
i have a problem which is very interesting. i have a data like
(rollno, name, course, duration and a photo of the candidate) in corel
file. the problem is how to import selected data from the corel file
into the oracle or any other database. Kindly guide me how to do this.
Regards
(BASIT)

This can be automated... Most Windows applications support (or did support) DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange). In its basic form, you can send DDE commands to an application. E.g. load file using this filename, use the selection option on the menu, save the selection as a text file, etc.
In other words, you can interact with an application using DDE only - no keyboard or mouse input required.
DDE itself is fairly straightforward and not that difficult to code - the complexity is in the DDE payloads that need to be send to the application to make it behave the way you want it to. In the "old" days, this was documented in some fashion by applications. I cannot recall seeing any specific DDE commands and specs for common Window applications for many years now. Also, DDE was made part of the then new OLE2 spec and have since taken a backseat.
Not even sure if apps today still properly support it...
So instead of putting Corel data into Oracle, I would rather look at it the other way. After all, Oracle is the server - not Corel. Have a web front-end (written in APEX) that allows you to specify the participant's details and store this in Oracle.
Create an export filter in Oracle that dumps this into a XML (or similar) format understood by Corel. Having Corel open this file, convert it, and print it. Then look at how to automated these steps in Corel (using VB for Apps or something).

Help converting a Corel Draw (cdr) file

I apologize for cross-posting this, but it occurred to me
after I posted to
the projectseven forum that this is a more appropriate place
to ask the
question.
A new client has sent me his vector based graphics as .cdr
files. Is there
anyone out there who can convert these to Fireworks-friendly
format?
Kathie

otherwise ask your client to send you cdr files exported as
ai files or
something else you can use ;)

Corel Draw and Indesign

We would like to import/open directly a cdr file into Indesign instead of making an export into a indesign file from Corel Draw
Is it possible ?
Thank you

Corel Draw vs Indesign. Draw will actually be able to make objects instead of just import them. Indesign is very bad at making objects beyond the simplest geometric shapes. Come on it cant even make a clipping mask and those have been around for how many years now? Indesign will be little smoother on the total text heavy functions i give it that but coreldraw is a better all in one and can actually make your complete project in it not have to make things in photoshop/illustrator and import to indesign when you just need the CorelDraw suite. My favorite function in draw is copy/paste actually pastes it in the exact same spot you copied it from which is such a massive time saver you have no idea. How often do you have to waste time repositing pasted objects when just needed a copy in a slightly different spot from the origin?
CorelDraw can do all the major desk top publishing techniques needed. Tracking, kerning, leading, text styles, master pages, faceing pages, ect. I hate designing in indesign. Unlike illustrator or coreldraw you have a very limited art board space per page and it does not like you moving your screen around to look around and try. You cant really scroll left/right which is dumb.

Cannot copy and paste images from the web into Corel Draw

Attempting to copy and paste a jpg image from a client's website, for use in Corel Draw... Copy appears to work fine, and pasting into other programs like Windows Paint works, but paste to CorelDraw has no result.
I've seen where others would get the text URL but nothing happens when I hit paste.
Drag and drop imports the text name of the image.

Since Firefox 13, when you copy an image, Firefox places both the image data (bitmap data) and the URL of the image on the clipboard. I can see why you would get one or the other, but I can't think of why you would get nothing.
Did this just start in Firefox 22?
Some odd interactions have been noted between Firefox 22 and ZoneAlarm: when ''copying'' selected text in Firefox, the clipboard may end up blank a significant percentage of the time . But it sounds as though you have a different issue.
Do you have the same issue in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Can somebody help me out? I need a Corel Draw (.cdr) graphic converted to Illustrator

I'm trying to get a logo from brandsoftheworld.com but the one I want is in .CDR. I don't have Corel Draw (who does anymore) but I see that Illustrator 6 can open it. Unfortunately, I'm still on CS5.5. Can somebody help me out?

Send it to me. I'll save it as an EPS file for you.

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on windows xp pro via Parallels 7 and having an issue . it states about 99% through the install that it is missing a file any suggestions?

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on my new iMAC. I am trying to install it on windows XP Pro via Parallels 7. I have already installed some other programs without any issues so this has me puzzled. whenever the install reaches about 99% complete it says it can not find 2 files(sorry I cant recall what it was).

The error message I get is that iTunes is trying to incorrectly open Visual C services.
Is there somebody at Apple who actually read these things or are we on our own without any iTunes?

This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

What program can l use to make cards, presentation cards in my Mac? something equivalent to Corel Draw from Windows

I used to use Corel Draw from Windows to make cards, birthday cards, invitation cards, etc.
Now l want do the same in my Macbook pro, people told me Mac has something equal to Corel Draw. I wonder which program l can use to do that.

Mary --
I used PrintShop for years. Here's the link to the Apple Store page on "drawing."
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/software/design_publishing
Also "Print Explosion" is good. It's included in this link:
http://www.ehow.com/about_5206227_card-making-software-mac.html
iPhoto has a beautiful card making function, using your own photos. It's stunning really.
If you have iPhoto, it's free. If not, you can get it easily and cheaply via the AppStore.
You can also do photo books & calendars through iPhoto.
Also, Pages -- a program in iWork. I haven't used it, but those who have, love it.

I'll bet that's the one you heard about.

Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well. I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment. I really only want to show the Headings. (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
Does anyone know how to correct this? I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level. Am I missing some obscure setting?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.
-PS

I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.) that I did not select to be in the PDF. I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
Create Bookmarks
Add Links
In the Bookmarks tab, I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
How I resolved the issue:
In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

Exporting Images from Photoshop to Corel Draw

Hi. I have an image of 400 dpi & image size 47X26inches. I want to export it in corel draw to design an ad for magazine. The size of this image has to be 4X1.5inches. I want to maintain the clearity of the image. So, while exporting should i keep all values same & then export or should i decrease the image size in photoshop(keeping it to 400 dpi) & then export it to corel, which will be better. Pls help

Either export as a smaller image (reducing image quality) or use the custom export option to set the maximum Pixel dimension you want (reducing the actual size of the image is better than reducing the image quality) - see the User Tip on exporting for details on the options available

InDesign CS6 colors to Corel Draw 12

I've designed a logo and stationery for a small business customer. The logo has 2 Pantone colours. The offset printed letterhead has a 7% tint for a graphic element (curved stripes) printed in Pantone #137 (orange) as a large watermark on the page.
I saved the vector graphic element separately as a 7% tint of #137. The files are a two colour EPS file and a PDF for my customer to import and bring into some of his documents. Which he did. He uses Corel Draw and prints on his office inkjet printer.
The final graphic element output has a different tone than the original #137 orange. The printed graphic is pinkish and different than his letterhead.
What's doing that?...
Is Corel Draw changing my file from a spot color EPS to a CMYK file?
I don't use Corel Draw and have no idea what suggestions to make to keep the Pantone orange true. Can I fix it on my end by saving or exporting the file differently, OR can my customer do something in Corel Draw?
Mac OSX10.6.8, InDesign CS6.

How is he getting the EPS into CD? CD can interpret the EPS and convert it
all to CD objects or it can leave it alone, pretty much like placing it into
an ID file
As Bob mentions, CD, upon importing an EPS will give two options. The default is to open the EPS as editable objects, just like AI. This is exactly what you want them to do. Do not that also like AI, the objects will be grouped.
I can gaurantee you that your client does not want to choose the second option in CD, which is to "Place as Encapsulated Postscript." If they do, the entire page size that you had in ID will come in, which is likely larger than the art itself. This same thing happens when placing the EPS in ID.
BTW, the last thing I would even try doing is opening that file Illy. ID
created EPS files don't do well in that situation.
BTW, the last thing I would want to do is to not check the EPS with the tools I have.
And for the PDF, you should be using Acrobat. Which will simply confirm that the Pantones are present at whatever tinit value you specify (which they will be).
Take care, Mike

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.

HP Officejet Pro 8600, bad size for print from Corel suite product

When i try to print a work with Corel Photo-Paint, or Corel Draw, I can't print to the same dimension that I see on the print preview of the program. For example if I want to print a photo in A4 format, the printer get out a sheet with a full print of a porzion of the photo as if the sheet dosen't match.
But in the print setup of Corel, for the page orientament I have "Use printer default", and for the dimension there isn't anything, but with my previous printer, this paremeter get out from the printer driver.
Please help me, because I work much with this two program, If I can't print I have to change the printer with other one!!
Thank
This question was solved.

Hello Lucatek2
What operating system are you running? Under printer preferences what paper type and paper size do you have set? In printer preferences -> advanced options is borderless printing enabled? Also what model of the Officejet Pro 8600 do you have? Example: N911a.
