    ask the printers if they accept PDF, then in corel publish to PDF
    (Prepress setting, and within options of PDF convert text to paths,)
    this should do the trick as most printers now work from PDF

    If your only problem is to convert the fonts into curves then you can do it previously in Corel, select the text to convert goto Arrange/Convert to curves,

    if the problem is with AI file then u should try to export (File/Export/Save as type…save it to a lower version of AI like 6,5, or even 4; they should then be able to open it in AI with no problems at all.

    Hope this helped you out!!
