Generating file in Corel Draw format?

Question

CorelDRAW

There is a JPG file that needs to be printed and cut. The file consists of many stickers and will need to be cut. The printing house accepts for printing files only in CDR format.
How it works now - we generate a large JPG file with a script and then give it to our designer for line-up (we create a grid in which the size is indicated in centimeters). Accordingly, I would like to somehow automate this so as not to torment the designer once again.
Are there any libraries for working with the CDR format?

Answer 1

Well, another crazy idea: write a script that will press buttons for the designer, and run it on a virtual machine)

Answer 2

Can be automated in CorelDraw using macros (VB).

Answer 3

The wiki says about UniConvertor , a console to CDR converter, and it already understands open formats. I think we need to dig in this direction.

Answer 4

You can make a PostScript file and import it into Corel. In addition, Corel seems to have a full-fledged imposition module - you can take one sticker and easily multiply it, with cutting marks, registration, etc. If you have several different-sized stickers and you combine them on a sheet, then the easiest way is to still manually; but in any case, it's better to take one file per sticker and arrange them already in Corel. This is a fairly simple operation, pure arithmetic plus a few placement rules (the size of the allowance, for example), anyone can master it.

Answer 5

In corel draw, click File > Preview
Printer, choose to print to a post script file, and next to the settings, specify the paper size.
Set the number of columns and rows. (distance, fields --- everything is there)
When everything is ready, we press print and we should have a window asking where to save the file.
