CorelDRAW can also open PowerPoint presentations and other Microsoft Office formats with little or no problem. CorelDraw can open Adobe PDF files: Adobe PageMaker, Microsoft Publisher and Word, and other programs can print documents to PDF using the Adobe PDFWriter printer driver, which CorelDraw can then open and edit every aspect of the original layout and design. While these programs will read their native file types and vice versa, the translation is rarely perfect. Although all of these are vector-based illustration programs, the user experience differs greatly between them. Several innovations to vector-based illustration originated with CorelDraw: a node-edit tool that operates differently on different objects, fit text-to-path, stroke-before-fill, quick fill/stroke color selection palettes, perspective projections, mesh fills and complex gradient fills.ĬorelDraw's competitors include Adobe Illustrator and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer.

It is also the name of Corel's Graphics Suite, which bundles CorelDraw with a bitmap image editor, Corel Photo-Paint, and other graphics-related programs (see below). CorelDraw (styled CorelDRAW) is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation of Ottawa, Canada.
