From Illustrator to Corell
How would I go about opening a .EPS or .DXF file that was created in Illustrator CS2 and needs to be opened in CorellDRAW12 with all the nodes and lines fully editable within the art? I have tried import, export, copy/paste, and just about everything I can think of none or only a couple of lines in the art is succesfully transferred. But I don't get the entire piece or any of the text and fills. When I copy and paste, or drag the object to the Corell workspace, the art is sent as a Bitmap and is not editable. Thanks Chris |

That's a tricky one. Have you tried exporting from Illustrator in the lowest-version AI file offered? That should be openable by CorelDraw. |

Re: From Illustrator to Corell
Thanks Steve After much frustration and headache, I finally found the problem. Corell12 is not compatable with files created or transferred from Illustrator versions 10 and up. So, I had to save the file as a fully editable PDF for Acrobat 7 to the desktop, and open the PDF file in Corell. This resulted in the complete graphic and all nodes to be present in Corell12. I had to dig through quite a bit of help files to find the one sentence that told me why I was having the problem! lol Chris |

Not only did the PDF solve my problem, but saving the file under the lowest version took care of it as well. Sorry about the late response, but I've been a busy lil bee!  |
