: Can I covert my cdr files to AI files? I want to keep all my books in ID, including my imported graphics. Can I bring all my CDR files into AI?

@Michele215

If Illustrator installed in your computer. First Right click on the .cdr file > click "open with" > select / choose Adobe Illustrator.

When it's opened in Illustrator, click File menu > click Save as > Now choose your location and save it as an .ai / .eps forma .

The easiest way to do this would be to export out the .cdr file(s) as an EPS and import it into Illustrator by going to File -> Place and select from the drop down EPS.

I would suggest if you are doing a book then export out as EPS and place it in InDesign and create a book document File -> New -> Book

We do have a similar question that may help you: Is there any way to convert 'AI' and 'EPS' to corel draw format (.cdr)?.

Doing a quick Google Search I found an online file converter, CloudConvert. It will convert the CDR into an EPS, which you can then save as AI. Hope this helps.
