morning all
having problems opening files in corel draw
i had some files sent to me on disc eps and ai files when you open the disc you can see a.i symbol for eps files and you can see a thumbnail of the a.i files i can open eps files and cut no problem in corel
the a.i files will open in a.i but message saying (generated by newer version some data loss may occur)i would normally just save a copy and open in corel when i do this corel will open but with nothing on the page
have tried all the view options in corel still nothing cant understand it any help appreciated

Can you email me one of the problem files and I’ll have a look at it for you, I have a few minutes spare ( putting off doing my books till tomorrow ) 😀

Try opening as Postscript Interpreted rather than Encapsulated Postscript.

Hi, first off, what version are you using?
Corel 11 cannot open the latest Illustrator files
Corel 12 does open Illustrator CS files
Importing with Postscript Interpreted and Adobe Illustrator AI is the best ways, however the new Adobe Illustrator can use PDF format as a native format. To test, do this:-Rename your file from File.ai to File.PDF
Double click and open in Adobe Acrobat Reader/Pro
If you see the item and have Acrobat Pro, then save as EPS/Postscript
Then Import into Corel -
