Success in importing Corel Draw X4 files into CS6?

I've inherited CorelDRAW X4, and we're about to upgrade to CS6 (a really big jump). I'm trying to make sure that my files will cleanly import into Indesign/Illustrator CS6. I've downloaded the trial in advance of our upgrade, but both the support & sales folks tell me that I won't be able to in the trial but should be able to in the full version. I, however, remain skeptical because the sales person didn't even know what CorelDRAW was.
Has anyone had any success with this?

CorelDRAW is a Windows-based vector illustration program akin to Adobe Illustrator. There is no direct ability to open or place recent versions of CorelDRAW native documents (any version beyond 10) – .CDR files – in Adobe Illustrator. Adobe InDesign has no ability whatsoever to open or place and CorelDRAW native documents.
What you can do is to open your .CDR files in CorelDRAW and save them in Adobe Illustrator (.AI) CS format there. Then open those documents in Adobe Illustrator. Fidelity will be preserved for the most part. If you need to have the content editable in InDesign, you could copy and paste from there.

  • 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

  • How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

    How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
    So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
    The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
    When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
    This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
    I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
    Any Help welcome :|
    Tim

    Tim,
    MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

  • 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.

    Hi

  • Import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance

    Is it possible to import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance? Thanks
    in advance for your thoughts.

    No, do NOT run the catexp.sql from 9i in your 10g db! That was only a valid method with Oracle 6/7 and Oracle 7/8!
    Just use the Oracle 9.2 version of exp to create the dumpfile from the 10g database. You can use SQL*Net to connect to the 10g db from your 9.2 server connecting like system/manager@tnsname. Then use 9.2 imp to import the dumpfile into your 9.2 db.
    If you have access to Metalink please refer to the following note for full details on compatibility between Oracle releases for exp/imp: 132904.1

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

  • Importing PDF file into CS6

    Hello,
    I am using the trial version of CS6 to see if this software would work best for what our company would like to accomplish. I currently have a pdf file that contains a parts book I would like to convert into a digital publication but I can not seem to figure out how to do so. I am using this book as our test to see the ease of use and overall quality of the software. Any suggestions on how to import my file into CS6?
    Thank you in advance.

    The end result is we are looking for a software that we can use to create digital copies of everything from Employee handbooks to Sales Binders.
    That is a fine idea.
    Does that help? I need a software where we can not only design new pages but also import in pages that already exsist.
    If the pages that already exist are only available to you in PDF format, then you have a rough slog ahead of you. I'd go so far as to call your project Nigh Impossible.  However, if you can get your hands on the source files from which those PDFs were generated, then it becomes Kinda Possible. So, like Mike, I'd want to ask first whether or not those source files were available to you, and what format they were made in.
    I'd also like to repeat Bob's point that you cannot become enough of an expert in InDesign to know whether or not it would be a suitable product for your project in thirty days - unless you were already experienced in something like Quark or Ventura.
    Lastly: what the heck do you mean by "digital publication"?  Do you just mean "a file"? I guess so, since you are comparing against printed binders. But it's hard to tell.

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ronny,
    According to your description, you want to import a SPSS .sav file to SQL Server 2008 R2 database. If that is the case, we can achieve this requirement with SPSS or SQL query. For more details, please refer to the following methods:

  • Import all your picture files into iMovie

    How do you import all your picture files into imovie all at one instead of one at a time?

    Put them into a folder then drag the folder to the timeline in a project. It's best to use iPhoto for this, as it's easily accessible from the Photo Browser in iMovie.
    In iPhoto, create an album containing all the photos you wish to import to iMovie. The iPhoto album can then be dragged from iMovie's Photo Browser. It's best to place the photos in the desired order in the iPhoto album before dragging into the iMovie project.
    By "pictures" I'm assuming that you mean photos (or stills) - not video clips.

  • How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

    how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

    You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
    There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
    I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

  • Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

    I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine.  When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else.  All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK.  The graphics have disappeared.  How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt?  .

    Can you please give your system specs?
    In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
    Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
    Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
    Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

  • Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
    I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
    I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
    I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
    I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
    I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
    Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
    I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
    Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
    I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
    Many thanks for the help.
    Gary

    Gary,
    I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
    Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
    MDLRELEASE=9.2
    RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
    And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
    [...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]
