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!

To find out, fly to Stockholm and start visiting all of the coffee shops around town. When you find one with a person sitting in front of his laptop, with a Wacom tablet next to it and a cup of coffee in his hand........

ok....another angle on the Corel vs Illustrator question... since I end up having to save all of my individual art files to AI when sending to printers/designers, should I upgrade my Illustrator 7 (after upgrading to CD X4). Will AI 7 be compatible with X4. This cross platform/programming can be very overwhelming. I used to work in the mac world and mac to mac was so much more simple.
One more thing...I have Acrobat 4.0 and have updated Adobe Reader 9. I'm pretty sure Acrobat 4 was installed with the CD 10 way back when.... what is the update that I need to make to Acrobat. That might be one of the problems I've been having with the pdfs the other designer has been sending me.

Just so we talk the same language. Once Acrobat was called that: Acrobat. Now its Called "Adobe Acrobat", with which you can create PDFs, to say it very simple. For this you can easaliy use CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint. Adobe Reader 9 on the other hand, which was once called Acrobat reader, is the free program in which you can read all kind of PDFs, made with all kind of programs that allow you to save a document as a PDF. So if we are talking about the same thing, the Reader, then yes. If your clients have been making PDFs in newer programs, then those newer programs save documents to newer kind of PDF files. So for this its always good to download the latest Adobe Reader. Today the Adobe Reader 9.
