I am working in CorelDraw 10 and I have to send lots of files to printers and other designers that work in the Adobe world (CreativeSuites Illustrator and InDesign). I have Illustrator 7 and have finally figured out a setup that works for both but am running into problems with sending and receiving files that aren't saved low enough from the CS or they need higher versions.
My questions is does anyone recommend a higher version of CorelDRAW and/or a higher version of Illustrator. (without breaking the bank!)
The art I work with can be anything from simple pages of icons to layouts of 16 month calendar spreads and everything in-between.
Thanks!
Once again thanks so much. I am really so far behind with todays programs...when freelancing at home I use Freehand on my imac OS9!!! I would actually like to learn InDesign on the Mac but I'm sure that is a whole new topic!!! I guess it's a matter of being comforable with what we know!
You wrote...."When you upgrade to CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4, you can actually save up to CS3 illustrator files, and open them sent to you from a CS3 file. But when you save as or export to for example a AI illustrator file in CorelDRAW X4, the default choice in the dialog that pops up is Illustrator 8."
Will it save back to Illustrator 7 so I can open the ai files and double check them before sending them out?

Yes.You can save to a Illustrator 7 file version.Here is an image of the dialog attached of the ai illustrator files in CorelDRAW X4.

are you using a blueberry iMac??
okay Stefan, just to clarify, exactly how much do you love X4?
I can't get this "quote" thing to cooperate with me but this is in response to me using a blueberry iMac...
Yes I am..I love my little Mac!
I also have a PC that I can do "work" work on.
