The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Doubtful. CDR is a corel draw file and not much opens corel draw files, except corel draw. Youre going to need corel draw to convert it.

Hi atulltd,

Weed is right. You need to have CorelDraw in order to open your files and export it as a BMP. The good news is that you can download a free evaluation copy of CorelDraw12 from their website at:

http://corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel2/Downloads/Home

The trial version is good for 30 days.

Good Vibes!

A look at Graphic Converter's list of supported formats shows that it only converts the preview bitmap that Draw embeds in its files, not the files themselves. These bitmap preview images are the very low res thumbnails that are used by Windows Explorer to display the contents of the file in Show Thumbnails mode.

Do you have Photoshop? Do you have CorelDraw? Either one will allow you to open then save a copy as another version, including bmp.

RobMurota:

If you can save or save as the cdr file as a postscript file you can raster it in photshop. Or use the print function and print to file rather than printer and that will generate a postscript file as well. You can then raster it in photoshop and save as bmp. Illustrator can raster files also - you can then export it as a .bmp from within illustrator

No need for all that. CorelDraw can export directly to BMP format.

hbtitansfan:

Oddly enough, there is a CorelDRAW Filter in MS Office/Powerpoint. I have used it/tested it, and it only supports CDR version 8.0 and under (which it doesnt tell you that). So, thats one possibility if u have MS Office and the CDR is an older version.

If you dont want to bother with the Trial version, Email it to me & i will convert if for you though. Using version 12.0. Takes about 2 seconds.

That doesn't give the user any control over the resolution of the created BMP. Corel comes wityh an excellent BMP Export filter precisely for that purpose. Besides, PrintScreen will cpture the whole area, adding the hassle of cropping the image once placed into a raster editor.

Mr hbtitansfan Cud u pl. tell me where exactly can i find a CorelDRAW filter in MS Office / Powerpoint ?

10.26.2004 at 05:11AM PDT, ID: 12409849

hbtitansfan:

From Word (or Powerpoint)

Choose Menu INSERT-> PICTURE -> FROM FILE

File of TYPE, Scroll to .CDR (CorelDraw). If it is not listed, perhaps you didnt install the filter. However, i am pretty sure its installed as a basic part of Office.

I am using Office 2003. 2002 had this filter as well, not sure on previous versions.

A quick look at IrfanView's list of supported formats shows that it does not read CorelDraw files. A little research before recommending a download would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Lodo,

I DO did the search before making this download recommondation.
I just switched the *.CPT format in the list (CorelDraw Photopaint format) for the *.CDR wherefor I apologies.

BUT.. good to know we have a person amongst us who NEVER makes mistakes. Ain't it Lodo?
We are all on a forum where people help eachother finding answers. That's the only reason why I'm here at least. Take it or not but I'm here to learn and help if I can. If I make mistakes by helping then I appriciate it to be corrected on a friendly way!
