how is .cdr format is used in print shop?
-
I used QCAD software designed my drawings and export it into PDF file. but when I give it to print shop, they ask for .cdr format since they use CorelDraw software. (I bought my license to get this .cdr format). So I wonder how this .cdr format is used to print out my drawings? I have several more drawings to print out, so try to get understanding of this printing process in print shop in large scale print work. Thanks a million.

First thoughts are that a print shop that can't work directly with PDF files is not worthy of being called a print shop. If a print shop told me they needed a .cdr file, I'd ask if that was their only alternative, or if they can accept other formats. Your best bet is to talk to the print shop, and not a bunch of programmers who know nothing about their printing process.

There is very little chance that one of these programmers has experience dealing with your print shop. If you want the input of anyone who might, you should give the name and location of that print shop. I have very little printing experience, but everywhere I've printed has wanted and used flattened PDF files. The fact that your printer doesn't seem to doesn't speak very highly of them. Your best bet will still be to talk to the printer and ask them about your options as to what they can accept, and why the PDF you submitted is unacceptable. Have you talked to them about using a flattened PDF? > So I wonder how this .cdr format is used to print out my drawings? Obviously, they open it in CorelDraw and print from there. No great mystery.

Corel... They're local to me, I've worked there one summer during my second-to-last year of college, and made some great contacts there, to whom I probably owe the start of my career as a software developer. But as a company? They lost my respect a long time ago. I don't know how they're still in business nowadays. Remember, this is the company that still pushes WordPerfect, for gawd's sake.

My dad swears by WP. I had forgot everything I knew about that program years ago. Tried to help him, and figured it had to have some way to apply a style. Nope - only copy/paste formats from paragraph to paragraph as far as I could tell. X| X| X| Tried to show him the ease of Word. Nope! No learning anything new, even if it would save bunches of time.

There was a good reason WordPerfect reigned supreme (in its days), but there's also a good reason it got displaced. I've been told on more than one occasion that WP is still the standard in lawyer offices. You'd think both Word and WP would have seamless import/export capabilities by now. OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian government didn't require WP to be used--entirely for protectionism reasons. Since Corel is a Canadian company. And I'm sure they pay a lot more for their licenses than they could get for the entire MS Office suite. That's the sort of thing our government wastes our money on.

My dad does paralegal work. WP used to be the standard, but from watching him, it appears the US legal system is slowly moving over to Word.
