I have a CDR file that was saved in CorelDraw X6. I no longer have contact with the person who created the file and I need to open it in CorelDraw X5. Is there a way that I can import this file? If not, can it be converted from X6 to X5?
Hello,
Yes it can.
If you have X6, then simply open the file in X6 and click File /Save as/ and in th save as dialog choose version 15.0, which means X5
If you don't have X6 then download a trial version of X7 and Save as to X5
Only X6 or X7 can perform the conversion.
There is a free public convertor at http://filespazz.com/ and it may be worth trying. It worked well when I first found it, but then stopped sending any results.
If that does not do the job and the file is not confidential, then a possibility is to put the file on a public server such as dropbox and paste a link here. Somebody will usually be able to convert it.
