Illustrator Files to Open in Corel

Post by mthompsonart08 »

Hello!

I'm the lead graphic designer at my sign shop and am fluent and very good with using Illustrator. However, the business has employees and files that use and have always used Corel. Currently, I've been designing in Illustrator and importing into Corel as needed for others to use my files (this is not ideal).

I know that using PDF or EPS works well for imports but has some issues with missing photos, broken up photos, or text being broken in sporadic ways. I've opened Illustrator files in Corel and that seems to work well aside from the fact it only opens what the file had saved in the artboard (a lot, if not most the design elements lay outside the artboard in the workspace).

My question is, does anyone know of a workaround to have Illustrator files open in Corel including all the design elements that laid outside the artboard? This can be something that needs to be done with Corel settings or the way I should save my Illustrator files? I know I've gotta be missing something that makes Corel and Illustrator shake hands better.

I hope I worded all this clearly, it could've probably been put more concise.
Thank you for any information in advance!

Hello and welcome to the forum.

You didn't say which Corel product you are using but since you mentioned Illustrator I suspect it might be CorelDRAW. If that is the case, you will need to register and pose your question at https://community.coreldraw.com/talk/ since we do not cover that product here.

If not, let us know which product so we can move your post to the appropriate section of the forum.

Regards,
Kathy
