Tech InformationLeave a comment

If you start googling for cdr viewer or coreldraw viewer for iPhone/iPad, you’ll not find any. That’s why We have developed a simple application for ourselves that opens CorelDRAW files on iOS and exports to gallery as image file. Opening CorelDRAW format files on iOS is possible now. When you install VectorView on your iPhone or iPad, you will be able to open CDR files.

Let’s say You’ve received an Unknown Graphic File from your customer in CDR (or CMX) format or your manager has sent you an extremely useful graphic for your project, but you don’t have any CDR, CMX viewer or converter on your iPhone. What to do? First of all, no panic! 🙂

There is only one way to open CDR (CorelDRAW) files on iOS that will easily convert any CDR to graphic file. We show you this way below. To view CDRs on iOS:

  1. Download latest version of VectorView.
  2. Find your CDR document in Files.
  3. Select it to open and click “Share” icon and wait for magic.

Detailed “how to open” info page is available in App Settings View:

CMX File

Tech Information

Corel Presentation Exchange (CMX) is a metafile format that supports bitmap and vector information and the full range of PANTONE, RGB, and CMYK colors. Files saved in CMX format can be opened and edited in other Corel Suite applications.

CMX adopts the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF). The entire CMX file is enclosed within either the RIFF or RIFX form, depending on the platform.

Corel created the CMX format to serve as a proprietary image interchange format, which could be used to transfer images from any Corel program to another. For example, you could previously save an image as a CMX file in CorelDRAW and then import that image into Corel Presentations, for use on a slide.

However, many Corel programs no longer support the CMX format. For example, you cannot import a CMX file into current versions of Corel Presentations, WordPerfect, or PaintShop Pro.

How to open an CMX file

Another way to open CMX files on Mac or on iPhone without Corel products is to use CDRViewer. Here is a short instruction about how to use it.

EPS File

Tech Information

EPS is a vector format. It contains PostScript-formatted image data, which is ideal for scaling high-resolution images, and may include bitmap image data and text. EPS files also store a low-resolution embedded bitmap image for previewing the graphic.

PostScript printers and image setters typically use EPS to produce vast, detailed images — such as billboard advertising, large posters, and attention-grabbing marketing collateral.

Adobe developed the EPS format in the late-1980s to become a standard for exchanging images across different platforms and devices. It’s a standard graphics file format intended for placing images or drawings within a PostScript Document. Basically it’s a postscript program saved as a single file.

How to open an EPS file

You can open an EPS file with various image editors, including EPSViewer. Here is a short instruction about how to use it.

CDR File

Tech Information

A CDR file is a vector graphics file that stores a digital image encoded and compressed to be opened and manipulated by a vector editing software program. Files saved with the CDR extension are designated for use with CorelDRAW products as well as other Corel applications.

It contains information that makes up a document or drawing, which may include text, tables, lines, shapes, images, colors, and effects properties. CorelDRAW users create CDR files to compose documents such as letters, brochures, tabloids, envelopes, postcards, webpages, and web banners.

The CDR file is the main file type associated with CorelDRAW. When you save your document in the CDR format, CorelDRAW creates the CDR file to store the contents of the documents.

Besides CorelDRAW, other Corel products such as Corel Paintshop Pro and CorelDRAW Graphics suite can also open the CDR file formats.

Another way to open CorelDRAW files on Mac or on iPhone without Corel products is to use CDRViewer. Here is a short instruction about how to use it.
