I have a company profile I created ages ago with CorelDraw 12 or earlier. It has about 12 pages or more. Recently I tried opening it and get this error. Is there any solution?
Maybe if you try to import instead of opening it?
From what I can see of the error message, the problem file is actually a backup copy not the original.
Of course, the backup should open too (in the same or a newer version) but because its the backup, it implies you should also have another copy somewhere that you can try.
Also the message "Error reading ..." suggests that the drive or disc that you're reading is defective, rather than just a corrupt file. If it is a floppy disc or CD, try reading it in other drives.
Tried that too no luck. Still open to ideas and mind not sharing the file so folks out there can help open, recover or restore the file.
The original is not opening at all.
The file is on my mobile hard disk, transferred to the pc still no luck.
Am open to more ideas and mind not sharing the file so folks out there can help open, recover or restore the file.
