CorelDRAW
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CorelDraw (styled CorelDRAW) is a vector


graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel CorelDRAW
Corporation. It is also the name of Corel's Graphics
Suite, which bundles CorelDraw with bitmap-image
editor Corel Photo-Paint as well as other graphics- CorelDraw
related programs (see below). The latest version is
marketed as Graphics Suite 2017 (equivalent to
version 19), and was released in April 2017.
CorelDraw is designed to edit two-dimensional
images such as logos and posters.

History
In 1987, Corel hired software engineers Michel Bouillon and Pat Beirne to develop a vector-based
illustration program to bundle with their desktop publishing systems. That program, CorelDraw, was
initially released in 1989. CorelDraw 1.x and 2.x ran under Windows 2.x and 3.0. CorelDraw 3.0
came into its own with Microsoft's release of Windows 3.1. The inclusion of TrueType in Windows
3.1 transformed CorelDraw into a serious illustration program capable of using system-installed
outline fonts without requiring third-party software such as Adobe Type Manager; paired with a
photo-editing program (Corel Photo-Paint), a font manager and several other pieces of software, it
was also part of the first all-in-one graphics suite.

Features
Supported platforms

CorelDraw was originally developed for Microsoft Windows 3 and currently runs on Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 .[34] The latest version, 2017, was
released on 11 April 2017.

Versions for Mac OS and Mac OS X were at one time available, but due to poor sales these were
discontinued. The last port for Linux was version 9 (released in 2000, it did not run natively;
instead, it used a modified version of Wine to run) and the last version for OS X was version 11
(released in 2001). Also, up until version 5, CorelDraw was developed for Windows 3.1x, CTOS
and OS/2.

With version 6, CorelDraw introduced the automation of tasks using a Corel proprietary scripting
language, COREL Script. With version 10, support for VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) was
introduced for scripting by what Corel calls now macros. Corel recommends to no longer use the
COREL Script language but only VBA.

CDR file format


Structure
CorelDraw file format
In its first versions, the CDR file format was a
completely proprietary file format primarily used
for vector graphic drawings, recognizable by the
first two bytes of the file being "WL". Starting
with CorelDraw 3, the file format changed to a
Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF)
envelope, recognizable by the first four bytes of
the file being "RIFF", and a "CDR*vrsn" in bytes
9 to 15, with the asterisk "*" being in early
versions just a blank.[36] Beginning with
CorelDraw 4 it included the version number of Hex dump of the header of a CDR file as RIFF
the writing program in hexadecimal ("4" meaning container, written with version 3
version 4, "D" meaning version 14). The actual
Filename extension .cdr[35]
data chunk of the RIFF remains a Corel
proprietary format. Latest release X8 (i.e. 18)
Open format? no
From version X4 (14) on, the CDR file is a ZIP-
compressed directory of several files, among them XML-files and the RIFF-structured riffdata.cdr
with the familiar version signature in versions X4 (CDREvrsn) and X5 (CDRFvrsn), and a root.dat
with CorelDraw X6, where the bytes 9 to 15 look slightly different -- "CDRGfver" in a file created
with X6. "F" was the last valid hex digit, and the "fver" now indicates that the letter before does no
longer stand for a hex digit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorelDRAW

There is no publicly available CDR file format specification.[37][38]

Other CorelDraw file formats include CorelDraw Compressed (CDX), CorelDraw Template
(CDT)[39] and Corel Presentation Exchange (CMX).[40]

Use of CDR-files in other programs

In December 2006 the sK1 open source project team started to reverse-engineer the CDR format.[41]
The results and the first working snapshot of the CDR importer were presented at the Libre
Graphics Meeting 2007 conference taking place in May 2007 in Montreal (Canada).[42] Later on the
team parsed the structure of other Corel formats with the help of the open source CDR Explorer.[43]
As of 2008, the sK1 project claims to have the best import support for CorelDraw file formats
among open source software programs. The sK1 project developed also the UniConvertor, a
command line open source tool which supports conversion from CorelDraw ver.7-X4 formats
(CDR/CDT/CCX/CDRX/CMX) to other formats. UniConvertor is also used in Inkscape and Scribus
open source projects as an external tool for CorelDraw files importing.[44][45][46]

In 2007, Microsoft blocked CDR file format in Microsoft Office 2003 with the release of Service
Pack 3 for Office 2003.[47][48] Microsoft later apologized for inaccurately blaming the CDR file
format and other formats for security problems in Microsoft Office and released some tools for
solving this problem.[49]

In 2012 the joint LibreOffice/re-lab team implemented libcdr, a library for reading CDR files from
v1 to the currently latest X7 version and CMX files.[50] The library has extensive support for shapes
and their properties, including support for color management and spot colors, and has a basic
support for text.[51] The library provides a built-in converter to SVG, and a converter to
OpenDocument is provided by writerperfect package. The libcdr library is used in LibreOffice
starting from version 3.6,[52] and thanks to public API it can be freely used by other applications.

Other applications supporting CDR files

CDR file format import is partially or fully supported in following applications:

Adobe Illustrator - CorelDraw 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10[53]


Corel PaintShop Photo Pro
Corel WordPerfect Office
Inkscape with UniConvertor installed; partial support[44][46]
LibreOffice with libcdr installed - CorelDraw 1 to X7
Macromedia Freehand - CorelDraw 7, 8[54]
Microsoft Visio 2002 - CorelDraw! drawing file versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 (.cdr),
Corel Clipart (.cmx)[55][56]
sK1 - partial support[41][57]
Xara Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer - early versions of CorelDraw CDR
and CMX[58]
