Very Useful

Unlike others who say there is no real use for this software, it’s incredibly useful for me. I switched from a PC and have hundreds of CDR files that I seldom need to access, but from time to time I have to find one for an old customer. This app makes that process much easier. The only issue I see is that sometimes the embedded fonts don’t render properly, but for me, just trying to find a file this is perfect.

Hello. Thanks for your comments.
Worked first time
Byers Media
At work I went from Windows to Mac and I am the Graphics guy, but some older files they had before I there used Publisher and CorelDraw, in fact they still use CorelDraw, but one salesman wanted me to help him change the file, but not on the windows computer anymore, so I found this to see what the salesman was talking about and redid it all in Illustrator.Did what it said it would do the first time.

Thanks for reviewing and giving 5. We already released second version of CDRViewer and it works better then first version.
Does what it claims

It open CDR files just as claimed. It is not perfect, e.g. rotated text does not display correctly, but this app saves me having to run Parallels and CorelDRAW every time I want to just take a quick peek at a file. I just bought PrintLab Studio, the paid version of CDRViewer.
Wish it would work...

Like others, I'm going to have to recommend you don't even bother with this app. Downloaded it onto three different computers, would only run on one of them (all of them met the system requirements). The other two would just get an error trying to open the app. On the one that it did run on, it would error out every time I tried to open a Corel file. I gave up at 20 attempts.I appreciate the effort, as this is an app that is really needed in the design world. This one just doesn't work.
