Batch .CDR to .JPG

[yub351j]

I have a Coral Draw 3 program that has a huge clipart in the .CDR format.
I am able to 'open' a single file in Xara Xtreme, then export it as a .jpg.
Is there any known program that will do the conversion in batch mode?

Or.

Is it just possible that I could safely install this program in Windows XP.

I am, of course, a Silver surfer.

How many files are you talking about????
If it is just a few, one of us can probably do it for you.

Otherwise, I believe there are batch scripts for CDraw or CPhotoPaint that will save CDR files to .jpg. You should try posting your question in the CorelDraw area of Talkgraphics OR go directly to the Corel sponsored CorelDRAW user's group and post there OR ask Foster Coburn at www.unleash.com for advice.

Irfanview can do batch conversion and is freeware.

Can do a zillion other things too.

I looked at Irfanview and it only does corel paint files not CDR, my mistake...sorry.

Most programs concerning Draw only go back to version 7 I beleive for conversion purposes. I have CorleDrawX3 if you want send the file and I will convert the specific clipart (not whole cd!) and save as Xar file

Thanks fellows.
I patiently worked through three folders of 'simple borders' (350 of them), using the Corel Draw 3 hand book of 'thumbnails'.
By being choosy I used Xtreme to import the .CDR then export/convert to jpg. It surprised me just how slick Xtreme performed this.

Thanks fellows.
