I am moving over from CorelDraw 12 to Xara Designer pro but have lots of file I would like to import into Xara Designer.
I have tried varios methods but cannot get it right - is it possible to import files & layers from CorelDraw 12 on Xara Designer?
I am using xara xtreme 4, i always used it to import large A1 size pdf files to resize them with xara on A4 page. I am trying to import now a 50 mb pdf file, after asking me if i need to optimize for editing i click import, it shows that it is converting the document then it asks me if i need to merge or insert to a new page i click merge and finally nothing shows on my sheet, still empty!
is there a better way to resize that pdf file?
I have 10 years worth of .pngs with layers that I created using Fireworks. I recently rebuilt my system and really really didn't want to install/reinstall any Macromedia software in the new system so I got Photo & Graphics Designer 6.
It looks great for editing photos, however I still need to get to the individual layers of some graphics that are in Fireworks .png format.
Is there some conversion/import in any Xara software that accesses the layers? Any other raster program other than Photoshop or Fireworks.
Im trying to import an EPS file in my Corel X5. Im note sure why it is not working but my first question is if there is any update that can handle postscript 3.1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've recently upgraded to Corel Draw X5 having used many previous versions (back to Corel 6) but i'm having a few issues when importing .EPS files.
I normally do a design in AutoCAD, then export to .eps, then import into Corel.
Im finding an issue though, when I import an EPS that contains text, the middle section of the text will not combine and fill correctly.
For example, if I were to import a letter "Q" when I then combine the outer section to the middle section in previous versions the letter would appear normally, with a "Hollow" inner section. However, in X5, I combine the letter and the inner section does not combine with the outer section, leaving me with a solid black symbol, with the outline of a letter "Q" but no centre piece to define the actual character.
I work exclusively in coreldraw x4 but am need someone who works in illustrator, which means they need to be able to open my files, work on them, send them back and then i need to be able to open them in x4. don't care what file types are involved as long as i end up back with a .cdr file that still has all the important info like groups, font details, accurate cmyk values, lenses, pattern fills and gradient fills intact. etc.
since i also have illustrator on my machine i thought i'd do some tests to see if this works and here's what i've found:
1. cdr files saved as ai seem to open perfectly in ai with the exception of color changes in pattern fills. (they look essentially the same but CMYK values are oddly different.) they stay in the altered cmyk values coming back into corel.
2. coming back to corel some teeny tiny amount of info just plain disappears (in this case, some outlines)
i've tried bring it in as a pdf file and ai (and yes, importing both times) but still the issues.
I downloaded the Corel Designer Suite X6 trial version yesterday. The downloading and the installation course ran problem free. The installation was finished successfully The programs were installed on Windows 7- 64 bit platform. After the installation I started to work with the Designer X6 and it was running correctly. I tried to import a 3D dwg. file into a new blank drawing and Corel started up XVL Studio program.
I tried to import one of my existing dwg. 2013 file in the XVL but during the process an error occurred. I tried again with different versions dwg and dxf files but XVL just couldn't import the files and I always was given the same messages. "Unable to import ... file". I'd like to insert my existing 3D drawing as vector graphic in Corel in order to editing technical illustration.
I have a Student and Home version of X6, and for the life of me I cannot import an existing DXF file. Is there a way to do this or am I out of luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRecently purchased a new plotter thats 32 bit. Problem is, my Win 7 is 64 bit, holy smokes! so the two wont work together.I cannot even download the plotters installation process. Was told that Corel Draw can bridge the two correctly so I am leaving Letter Art and joining the Corel Draw family. I have a few questions concerning this matter. First, can Corel actually bridge these two? Second, Letter Art saves their files as gnt, showing up in My Documents as sym (go figure) so knowing that Corel can import all types of files, can they import pcx, sym and/ or gnt as well?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having 2 seperate import problems in Coreldraw X5 in Windows 7. The first one, and the one I need to fix immediatly is, every time I try to import a dfx file, the program crashes. The other which is less important right now is, a lot of times when I try to import PDF's I get an error message that says the file is corrupt.

I'm having trouble importing RAW (.CR2) files taken with my Canon T1i into PhotoPaint X4. I am able to do it successfully with my NikonD90, but when I import from the Canon, the image is all purple and black. I just downloaded and installed the latest Canon RAW codec.
I don't know what other info to provide.
When I import a pdf file the program tries to interpret the special characters as some control function. the script over write for a few characters after a dash.Do I need to have the originator save in a different format or do I have to select a special font to convert it to?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi upgraded to CS6 photoshop and now i am having problems with multichannel photoshop files not importing correctly into CorelDraw x6. Either no channels appear at all or some will be missing or misnamed.
i realize that X6 may not have the latest and greatest import filters for the latest in Adobe products.
i have even saved the psd files as rgb and grayscale, hoping the issue was just multixhannel but that did not work.
Last week I opened some .eps files into coreldraw 12 without any hitch. But two days later I am unable to open or import any of the eps files. I am unable to find out what is the problem. The files I opened and worked on earlier are now opening as static bmp files or they are just opening as a grey square with adobe illustrator written on it. I tried selected both (eps) and (ps, prn, eps ) from the file type while importing. Also I kept the sort type at default. But still it keeps giving me the invalid file type error.

Have an issue when importing pdf files into both X5 and X6. Fonts have been converted to outline and without Ghost script installed overlapping vectors fill in with white! With Ghost script installed center of fonts like e,b,p etc fill in with font color. Convert to eps prior to importing still has the issue? Also had some objects reposition on import but fixed if converted to eps? Processing a lot of client files for output to image so this is a real problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some old .ppf files which are teaching Slides like a Powerpoint type thing, each file I have has 15-20 pages in and they seem to open in Corel Draw no problem and I have been able to Ungroup also no Problem. But not sure how to put each slide on a separate page (automatically if Possible if not Manually)
Then I want to re-save as a more modern File that I can open or import to Powerpoint ..
I would Imagine that does not matter that they are a .ppf files as would be the same importing any multipage doc .

View 3 Replies View RelatedHas any with CorelDraw X5 creating files that should be around 5 MB growing up to like 550 MB for no reason? Also have you reopened a file you had recently created and there be like 40 extra Layer 1's that are empty? I have had both of these happen. I have had work done to my machine and also reinstalled CorelDraw and those files apparently have a rogue bitmap or something in them b/c nothing is fixing it. Could be a corrupt file that a customer has sent me for their ad, but what element within a file is the culprit or if it's possible for a file to even work right if it's got a corrupt element in it?
I am losing money daily having to wait for 500 MB files to open and sometimes having to start over on ads b/c it locks my Corel up and I lose changes. Sometimes locks while saving updates and crashes.
when i'm going to print may files with 36 layers, corel x5 will close and nothing happen in printing.
note: the file is edited in corel x3 but the printing will done in x5.
I have over a hundred gif images to load into xtreme pro 6 but each time I do they come in with different sizes, however, they were all the same height when exported from excel (they are different lengths).Is there any way to get them all to the same screen resolution and hence make the heights the same for all images? I would rather not have to do each one manually.

could it be from the scanner itself such as restrictions from settings ?
I have an EPS file (attached) which is giving an error when importing into Xara Photo & Graphics Designer 2013.
Other EPS files from the same source have no problem.
Any program they can try opening it in and see if they can save it in a format that Xara will accept (assuming there isn't a more fundamental problem with the file) ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to work out the best way to import a word document into Designer Pro 6 and am struggling.I have a 21 page word document which is formatted text only i.e. no graphics included. I have exported this from Word as a RTF file. I now want to import this into DP6 so that I can use the power of DP6 for embedding all the graphics that I want.
Ideally what I would like to be able to do is to set-up a page with a text area, import the RTF document and insert it into the textarea and for DP6 to create the following pages with flowing text areas. I don't seem to be able to do this.
I think I must be missing a trick as in Gary Bouton's excellent book on Xara Xtreme 5 he says in the section on "Pouring Text into the Layout" (Page 198), that "Xara automatically adds pages to a document to handle text that won't fit on a page.".
