Need Help Coreldraw X8 to Flexi 12

[mchldelf]

Is there a way to design in Coreldraw X8 and open in Flexi 12 to print? When I try to copy and paste my designs have jagged edges. Any help would be appreciated.

Export out of Corel as a cmx file, select the cmx legacy version. This format will import into Flexi. Be careful with transparencies, gradients, and Corel's drop shadows which are transparent bitmaps. Unfortunately there are no standards for these things and every package has it's own way of handling them which is pretty much incompatible with anyone else's software.

I'm guessing if I need to do any transparencies, gradients, or drop shadows I should do them in Flexi? Also, do I need to make any advance color changes so each program mesh well together? Thanks

If you are through editing and ready to print I'd save it out as an eps or pdf and drop it directly into the program manager instead of opening it in the main Flexi app. Seems to avoid a host of issues here.
If it is really complex I would flatten it to a jpg or tiff and print those from the PM.

I agree. We purchased a printer bundled with Flexi but only use it for the Program Manager. The setup makes a Hot folder that our Corel users connect to from their respective workstations and just export pdf, eps, or tiff files to.
