CorelDRAW X5 to CorelDRAW Ver8 for laser cutter output.

[Robot Dude]

I use CorelDRAW Ver8 to create simple vector drawings to cut parts on my laser. I have upgraded to X5 on my design PC, but I do not have the ability to install it on the laser PC as it has no DVD drive. Is there any sort of player or printer module that will print X5 documents without installing X5 on the lasers PC? Thanks in advance for any useful help or advice. Thanks, Jim

I don't use lasers to cut stuff, but can you maybe save the file to pdf?

Hi Jim,

I'm still using version X4 (14).

Can you not simply select version 8 when you use Save As?

Hey Bill!

Wow I had no idea. I tried export of course, but there were no version options there. I never though of save as. lol Thanks so much! You saved my life. lol

Do you happen to know the difference between version 8 and version 8 Bidi? Thanks, Jim

Glad that I could help.

The Corel site references Bidi text as being (Hebrew, Arabic).
