Hi all, I have a friend with some vector artwork she had designed by someone a while ago in illustrator. I do not have illustrator, only corel draw X4. So how can I get this artwork in to CDX4? I do not have access to illustrator otherwise I would save it as SVG or EPS?

Thanks for any info on this one!

I ran into this a while back... and I for the life of me can't seem to remember what we did. I THINK we ended up being able to "place" a pdf into corel. Try that. I will contact the lady who had Corel today if that don't work and ask what we did to get my Illustrator file to work with her Corel.

Create a new document in X4, then import the AI file, same as you would import an image file.

yep... just FILE-IMPORT

BUT

The "Gotchya" will be when the bonehead that made the file didn't uncheck the "Save with Compression" box during the "save as" dialog box

I run into this all the time, and have tried for hours to find a workaround, if it is saved with "save with compression" you are just out of luck (anybody , please correct me if I'm wrong)

You can open the file with adobe viewer just to look at it and see how pretty it is, but you can't get it into Corel Draw unless somebody with ai opens it for you and saves it again with "compression" unchecked.
