Default Illustrator CS3 to Coral Draw?

What the best way to convert it or can somebody offer to do it for me?

What if you saved as an eps, would that work??

No idea, without Coral Draw that's what I was hoping somebody might know. Is Coral used much now?

We used to use Corel Draw here before we got the Adobe suite in a few years ago*... Not used it for a long time, but I remember it being quite flexible in terms of opening different file formats (though whether it would preserve everything might be another matter)... Think it might be PC only these days as well? No idea just how widely used it is any more

*Also used Paint Shop Pro instead of Photoshop, Pagemaker instead of InDesign. Heres to progress

I do... I still think it much much better than Illustrator for some things. I even create some 3d and Web.2 logos and web sites in corel and I have no problems at all.

Well, about your question, try to save the file as a pdf and then import it wherever you want.

CorelDraw, from my experience, is not widely used at this point. I haven't used it in years.

I'm guessing you still want your vectors still need to be editable or I'd say export as PCT. Only thing I can think is maybe CorelDraw can open it directly as an .ai file. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

BTW, James, InDesign *is* PageMaker. Adobe bought it some years ago and elaborated on it.

Not the same program I'd argue - InDesign was a build from scratch as I remember. They did continue to release Pagemaker (well at least one version) alongside InD as well... Very similar in essence though

To convert the files from CS3 to Corel, just save them as an EPS (version 8) in Illustrator. You will be able to open them in Corel no problem. If you have a EPS with transparency or Illustrator filters they might not come out so well. But any pure vector elements will convert fine,
