Creating a catalog

Hope someone can help on this.  Over the years we have created thouands of designs for customers and stock. I need a way to print them in a catalog format so we can quickly reference them.  Over 95% of images are coreldraw images.  Is there a way I can convert them all the .jpg or .pdf files for reference so no one can mess will the originals.  Any help would be appreciated.

  •  Hi Jkeefe,

    First: everything can be messed with. Even a jpeg. And regardless of software. Question is how it can be messed with.
    If you have made a coreldraw cdr-file with several layers, save them as a jpeg as you yourself mention, if that works for you. Depending on how you like them to be sent to your client a JPEG, TIF, GIF or PNG would work fine. And if you make a PDF, then you should first save your document in one of the mentioned file formats, and then link or import into your coreldraw in one of the mentioned file formats, and then save as a PDF. The PDF will then entail those mentioned file formats. Dont send your original files from coreldraw.

    In CorelDRAW go via either EXPORT, and from there choose the file format. Or go via Publish to the Web and Web image optimizer, and from there choose fileformats. You could also, if you prefer, open your files with Corel Photo-Paint and choose the  same Export and Publish to web choice.
