How do i open a Corel Draw crd. file in Adobe Illustrator CS5? ASAP

Hi,
I use Adobe Suite CS5 and a client supplied me a Corel Draw cdr. file, so i need to bring that into Illustrator CS5 and i have no idea of which version of Corel Draw was used to save the file, and i have no more details about the file. Does anybody have a solution?

Like AI files, Draw files can be saved with our without compression. AI cannot open compressed .cdr files. This is a very common situation among AI users who think that AI cannot open their Draw files, because the collections of kazillions of clipart files which always ship with Draw are saved with compression.
So get your client to check whether he saved the file with compression turned on. If so, ask him to send it again, but without the compression option.

  • Need help importing corel draw 10 files into adobe indesign with editing ability.

    I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to import corel draw 10 files into adobe indesign

    Can't edit.
    Best bet..and still a longshot depending on the layout, is to open in
    Illustrator and do the editing there.

  • Corel Painter RIF Files In Adobe Bridge CS5.1?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how I can view Corel Painter 12 RIF file thumbnails in Adobe Bridge CS5.1 For Windows?  Right now Bridge just shows a blank icon.  When I used Painter 11, the RIF file icons showed a thumbnail of its image in Bridge.  When I upgraded to Painter 12 this went away.  I can see the Painter RIF file thumbs in Windows Explorer, but not within any Adobe application.
    Anyone?
    Thanks,
    Michael R.

    Yep, same here. Running Adobe bridge CS5.1, upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday. Navigated to folder that contained a zip file and Bridge crashed. I removed the zip file, launched Bridge again,and went to that same folder. Worked perfectly. On a hunch, I dragged a zip file back into that folder in Bridge, and *WHAP* down she goes again.
    Looks like we wait for a fix. *sigh*
    Unless...File type association somehow comes into it? Interesting, I just checked (it's under Preferences) and neither a zip file or a doc file is in the list.
    Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any way to add a new file type. Hm. Don't know if it has anything to do with the crashing, but man, what a pain this is!

  • What is the best way to save an ai file so it can be opened in corel draw

    I have an ai file that needs to be opened in corel draw by a client. It needs to remain editable all paths and colors ect.
    Whats the best way to save it so it can be.
    yes I know corel is not as good as Illustrator but its what they have.

    Moving files back and forth between Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW is tricky. There's quite a bit more to it than knowing what version of CorelDRAW the client is using. If the artwork is fairly simple then there shouldn't be any problem with transferring the artwork into CorelDRAW. If the artwork has gradients, transparency effects, a lot of clipping masks, etc. then it's going to be a lot more dicey getting it to import into CorelDRAW properly. In addition to the .AI file you provide, you should give the client a PDF they can view in Adobe Reader or Acrobat so they can proof how the artwork is really supposed to look.
    I use Adobe Illustrator CC and CorelDRAW X6 in my work. I've used both applications for over 20 years. I don't consider either application better than the other. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I'll do a good bit of creative work within CorelDRAW to use certain features Illustrator either lacks or just doesn't do as well. Or I may need to design a really big project at full scale and Corel has a much bigger art board than Illustrator. Most of the time I move a lot of the stuff I created in CorelDRAW over to Illustrator for further refinement or moving it into Photoshop as paths or smart objects or just getting it ready to print (I don't like Corel's color engine even though it has improved in recent years).
    Like others have said, you need to know the basics of what the user has -mainly which version of CorelDRAW. The newer versions like the one I'm using can open Illustrator CS5 files. For older versions, you may have to save down to CS2 or even really old versions like Illustrator 8.
    CorelDRAW will not support certain Illustrator-dependent effects. For instance, if you apply a gradient to an object outline it will be lost when opened in CorelDRAW. A lot of other effects won't be maintained when opened in Corel unless they are flattened/expanded. Some effects may even have to be rasterized, and that can create other issues. Out of effects that are maintained, some may have to be adjusted. CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator handle things like gradient fills differently and don't understand how to portray gradients from their rival application accurately. Some nice fill that was created in CorelDRAW may have to be tweaked or completely rebuilt when opened in Illustrator.
    I get a lot of customer files in CorelDRAW and also a lot in Illustrator. That reason alone makes it necessary for me to have both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator running on my computer.

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?

    How do I open a iMovie 2.0 file in iMovie HD? Does it convert?
    I have a movie from iMovie vers. 2.0.1. I want to open it on our new Mac Mini which uses iMovie HD 5.0.2.
    Please tell me this is doable. Or can I get a copy of iMovie 2.0 to run it on my new Mac? I want to make copies of the movie by burning a dvd. Pls help.

    iMovie 2.0.1 ran in Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X. If I recall, it is necessary to boot your Mac into Mac OS 9 to run it. It won't run in Mac OS 9 Classic running inside Mac OS X. Your Mac cannot boot into Mac OS 9, so you probably can't run iMovie 2.0.1.
    You probably wouldn't want to anyway, for versions of iMovie that ran in Mac OS 9 used the OS 9 file name structure, which causes problems for projects converted to Mac OS X.
    The simplest solution is to simply import the project.mov file that's inside the iMovie 2 project folder to a new iMovie HD project. (Don't import the iMovie 2 project file, import its .mov file.) Because of the name problem, it's possible this won't work either, but it probably will.
    That will deliver the entire iMovie 2 project as a single clip to the iMovie HD project. The clips you had in iMovie 2 won't be editable, but everything will be there and play in the proper order.

    How can i open a raw nikon D300s file in photoshop 7.0.1?

    The D300s was first supported in Camera Raw 5.5
