Title: Corel to PDF or Illy?
Post by: tpitman on May 17, 2012, 02:10:23 PM

Got a .cdr file I can't open in X3. Any chance of someone converting to a .pdf or Illustrator, or X3 as a last resort, whichever is more convenient? Attached in the .zip archive.

Thanks.

Nutz. The was provided from an embroiderer I do a lot of work for. This is a customer of a shop she's taken over, so I don't know if the first shop did the art or if it's something they were given.
Thanks for the effort, though. Much appreciated.

If you look at the properties it says it is an X5 graphic so hopefully someone with X5 will see this.

I put it in AI, vers 13 and PDF.

*warning, it gave me a "font not found" error and I told it to only substitute temporarily... so hopefully it will work.  If you need the font name I'll open it again and see what it was.

YES! The ai version opened perfectly. The missing font is a version of Tekton, which I can substitute.

I'll check the .cdr version to see if it opens okay, too. I don't use Corel as a rule, but I'm sure I'll be getting other files from this customer so I might have to break down and familiarize myself with it a bit.

Thanks to all who helped. The folks on this forum are a priceless resource.
